A Day at the Beach!

On Sunday, we had a beach BBQ with Mimi, Paw Paw, Ali, Andrew and Isla. Charlotte got a chance to wear her cute butterfly bathing suit that Lisa got for her at her' mommy's Adams School Baby Shower. We learned that it is NOT a good idea to get to the beach on a Sunday when its 83 degrees out at 3:30. It was packed!! Luckily Charlotte was asleep while we unloaded, but when she woke up, she was not happy with the heat. She ended up calming down alot and actually had a good time when it started cooling off a bit. Next time we won't be arriving at the beach until about 5:30 if we plan to grill! It was much calmer at that time! Charlotte wasn't sure what to think about the water, but we think she'll come around - how could she not like the beach when her parents love it so much??

Charlotte is now 6 weeks old and she celebrated her almost 6 week birthday by rolling over for the first time yesterday! It was so cute!! She was laying on her side, on her play mat (she loves laying on her side and has been able to pull herself to her side since she was 2 days old) and started to pull her legs over and before I knew it, she was on her tummy!! I've heard that typically babies pull themselves from their front to their back first, which makes me think I might not be providing enough tummy time for her to practice this skill. I'm going to try to be better with that!! The fact that she rolled over at 6 weeks tells me its likely I'll have my hands full very soon - this girl is on the move!!!
