Charlotte - Week 25

Miss Charlotte is growing, growing, growing!! She's also developing a little attitude. I noticed it especially today when she was playing with little stackable cups and Ruby came along and took them away to stack them and she threw a fit! I would tell Ruby to give her one to play with and she'd be happy again but as soon as Ruby took it away, she started squawking! I like that she's starting to stand up for herself. We just got a big area rug today in our living room that is really soft and she loves it. She rolls herself from one end to the other in no time.

Both the girls are a little under the weather, they both have that chesty cough that all the kids have right now. Fortunately, it hasn't seemed to affect their sleep and their energy level. :)

Ruby is doing great and loves helping feed Charlie. We've added peas and apples this week. Charlie loves the apples - peas, not so much. I just love watching Charlotte's face when Ruby comes into the room. It just lights up - literally. It's just so sweet. Nobody can make Charlie smile and laugh like Ruby can. Charlie especially loves it when Ruby jumps up and down. Charlie laughs and kicks her chubby legs - soon enough you'll be jumping too, little chickadee!

We're sooooooo excited for Auntie Em to come visit on Tuesday!!!

Rubes and I usually do a picnic every day while Charlie is napping.

These are some of my favorite shots from our last picnic. Love this girl!

Ruby insisted that Doug put her in the box that our curtain rod came in.

She was very mad that Doug wouldn't let go of the box while she was like this.

Airing out the cheeks.

Ruby loves making sure Charlie has ALL her toys to play with.

Hey Charlie, you under there?
