Charlotte - Weeks 26 & 27

I can't believe sweet Charlie is 6 months old! Time really, really is flying and I just want it to slow down. I'm LOVING this stage with Charlotte, she is so happy and smiley and just plain sweet. At her 6 month appointment she was 14 lbs, 4 oz and 26 1/4 " long. She's in the 25th percentile for weight and 50th for height. She was so sweet with the doctor, giving him lots of smiles and being really cute. She didn't get her shots because she has a minor ear infection so we'll have to go back and get those when she's done the amoxicillin. Even through an ear infection and a cold she's as happy as can be.

Charlie's getting pretty good at sitting up but she's still kind of wobbly. She rolls all over and when she's on her belly she's starting to scoot herself backwards a bit. She's so strong and changing her is quite a challenge now. Her nights are pretty good, we put her down between 8 and 8:30pm and she's up around 6:30am. We're slowing getting our life back. :)

Auntie Em was here with us last week and we had a BLAST!!! We miss her terribly already. Em surprised Ruby by picking her up from school - Ruby thought she was only coming in later that day and she was SO happy to see her Auntie Em. She ran into her arms and clung to Em all the way out to the car. It was very sweet. Ruby was attached to Em the whole time and Em, like usual, played tirelessly. And when Ruby was sleeping or at school, Em snuggled, played with and walked around Charlie. What a great Auntie. Come baaaaaack! :)

Check out the video at the end of Charlie in her new jolly jumper. I think she likes it!

Snack time!

I love bananas!

Ruby insisted on putting ALL her dress up clothes on at the same time.

Re-discovering the beach tent. Perfect book-reading spot!
