Little Miss. Independent

So, to start off with a couple of photos, mainly so that those who don't see Charlotte very often will see how much she is growing.




So, our lovely little Charlotte is starting to eat "real" food, at least as real as baby food can be considered. She really struggled in the beginning, trying to figure things out; however, like it will probably be throughout her life, she was just waiting for her parents to figure out how to do thing the "right" way. The problem, as she told us, was that we were trying to feed her, and she just does not want or need us to do this. She has a little independent streak in her that will not let us feed her. The fix that she taught us is that we dip her spoon in the food and then hand her the spoon and she will feed herself. Don't believe me (don't worry I wouldn't either), well we have proof, enjoy the delicious cuteness.

Easter Photo & Video Montage

Life has caught up with us again, (Spring Break is over! So Sad!!) We wanted to share all our fun, so we made an Easter montage! Enjoy :)

6 months!

Charlotte had her 6 month appointment yesterday, and she is growing so well. She is almost 18 pounds and her head is in almost the 99th percentile!! Her grew an inch and a half taller, and the circumference of her head grew an inch and a quarter! Almost the same amount!! The Doctor commented, "Oh! She's growing brain cells!" when he saw the measurements. Her weight and length are just normal around the 75th percentile in both, but luckily she doesn't look out of proportion :) She also got her shots and she let out the most pitiful cry when they stuck her but didn't cry much after that. Such a good baby. But she did start running a fever. Her first fever!! She is okay when she has baby's Tylenol, but is just miserable with out it. She had a hard night, bless her heart.
We get to start feeding her solids now too! He mentioned something like, "If she could masticate a steak she could have one!" ha! That will not be happening for a while but Bryan is determined to not continue my red meat squeamish-ness with her, and I agree. He can cook it and he can feed it to her!!
We've has such a great Easter Weekend (new post pending with more photos included!), and are fully enjoying my Spring Break this week hanging out with my sister and Charlee's (said "Shar-Lee") cousins........actually.....I think we'll get back to more Spring Break fun!! Yay!! So enjoy just a couple pictures and look forward to the many more to come!!

Charlotte loves cardboard and paper products!

This is her best friend Scarlett, they seriously are inseparable already. She just loves her! Charlotte wants to be where ever she is, and do whatever she is doing.

Cute hu! Thanks Alexa for the cute pic's!

I will get you camera....if its the last thing I do!!

Scarlett loves Charlee too, and always gives her lots of kisses. I have to dry off her head once we get home from all the slobber kisses!! Isn't it the best!!!! Charlee is going to miss Scarlett something terrible!!!

She's got a new trick!

Hey fam! We are slackers at posting, but we're both is school and work full time day jobs (mine-teaching, Bryan's-Charlotte, mines easier!) But we finally got the camera back out and are trying to document more!

Charlotte is growing so fast!! She rolls over a lot more, but still hates to be in crawl position. She is not up for it yet. She doesn't think baby cereal is very fun either, but she'll get the hang of it soon!!







She is such a people person and loves to be in crowds. She's never been afraid of a stranger, well, only David and that is because he is stranger than most!! (he he he) Her latest trick is she has started to suck on her bottom lip. So we actually got some video to document it, so please ignore my annoying voice and Harry Potter in the background! Enjoy!




Yes, we are the annoying set of parents that think baiting their child is hilarious. Charlotte is a good sport, but she'll whip us into shape here soon.




Another of her tricks! She is one amazing baby, biased or not, its the plain truth!!

She can do the Faux-Hawk

So Charlotte has been growing and growing and we are sorry that we have not gotten more things posted. However, one of the things that has been growing along with Charlotte is her hair! Some of her first hair, the stuff she was born with, has gotten long enough that she can finally do the....FAUX-HAWK.

(This is Charlotte asking her mom: "Why can't daddy cut my hair so it is a real Mohawk?")
