Time for Halloween! Time for Halloween!

Mom why are you making me wear this? Mommy wore her banana shirt and held her little banana!

Charlotte licks a pumpkin. I went to the kitchen at Ali's to try to clean up and when I came back in the playroom, this is what I found - Charlotte licking a pumpkin.

Baby Banana!

We had a "Tiny Halloween Party" at Ali's today for the babies. Charlotte had a great time sitting up and playing with the toys - today was her first true day sitting up on her own like a big girl. She didn't love her Halloween costume, but she did fairly well wearing it for a short time so we could get some pictures. The rest of the time she hung out in her two, "So cute its scary" outfits.

Helping my mommy!

Charlotte gets a kick out of the bed getting made around her when I try to clean up in the morning. She loves to be propped up on the pillows while I pull up the sheets. I am thinking about buying her the mini dyson vacuum for kids (that really works!) when she gets older. Maybe she'll be my little helper!! I can only dream... We had a 4 1/2 month check up yesterday. Here are the stats:

15 lbs 9 oz

27 inches long

42 cm head circum

Dr. Page said she looks great and is developing well, meeting all of her milestones on time or ahead of schedule - we couldn't be happier. And now, she has TWO teeth!

Dancing with my Ghost

Charlotte loves the dancing ghost! She likes to wiggle along while it dances on her play mat - check out this video. Its hilarious! On another note, Charlotte's first tooth came through this morning! She seems much happier now that it is through the gum! We imagine she'll be getting more soon - I guess we have alot of crying and sleepless nights ahead of us!

4 Months Old!

Charlotte turned 4 months old last Sunday. Here are the stats:
26 inches long
15 pounds
Accomplishments: Has tried to sit up and will stay in a sitting position for about 30 seconds if you set her up, has discovered her toys and loves to grab stuff and try to stick it in her mouth, beginning to teethe (we haven't seen any pearly whites yet, but lots of drool and hand biting tells us she's on her way!), likes to babble constantly!, when she hears sounds, she looks to see where they are coming from, tries to feed herself a bottle (yesterday she held it for herself for about 2 minutes!), loves to smile at people and wiggle around - she is very active!!

We can't believe that 4 months has passed! It seems like just yesterday she was a brand new baby, barely opening her eyes - its amazing how much babies grow in such a short period of time!

Time for the Wild Animal Park!

Last weekend we took Charlotte to the Wild Animal Park to walk around and look at the animals. She seemed like she had a really good time. Its amazing how much farther you can walk around the animal park when you aren't 9 months pregnant! The last time we went there, I was about to deliver Baby Charlotte! The weather was nice and cool which made for a wonderful day. Charlotte liked looking at the elephants - since they are so big, she was able to see them well we think!

Our little Pumpkin!

Looking at the goats!

Hanging out with Shay by the animals. They were holding hands!

Its October so that means.. pumpkin patch time! Here are some pictures of Charlotte at the pumpkin patch last week with her boyfriend Shay! She had a great time looking at all the pumpkins and her favorite part was looking at the goats in the farm animal area. She really enjoyed it! She is definitly an animal lover!!
