Our Growing Girl

Sorry for not posting some newer pictures of Charlotte, but with the move, we've been living in chaos and still don't have our modem set up (so stealing some poor signals from the neighborhood doesn't give us much juice to get on here much).

Here are some of our favorite photos of our little nugget over the past couple of weeks. She still seems tiny to everyone who sees her, but seems so big to us already.

This was her, fast asleep on our new bed in the house, which was covered in plastic. She slept through the hardwood floor installation downstairs - with the loud nail gun, and the compressor and saw going outside of the open window! This was just too cute!

Spending time with Daddy after work

Our little Maggie Simpson with that pacifier (though she doesn't like it anymore now that she's a pro at nursing!)

She looks way older than 2 1/2 weeks old here!

First cold morning - poor bugger woke up with cold hands so we put her in her favorite spot, our bed with us!

House Updates

August 14, 2009

Well, the house is STILL coming along, though time is tickin' away.

Aaron's dad came up from TX last week to help get some projects done and they were able to start and finish the hardwood floor in the living room. Uncle Pete came down for the day on Saturday to help out with the floor as well, and Aunt Chris was able to spend some time with Mom, Charlotte and me. We also had Colleen and Dave Saturday and Sunday and let me tell you, those two are some painting machines!! It was a busy weekend and great to have so much help again, especially with the baby having joined the crew.

Here are some pictures of the progress:

Living Room before -


Living Room current (will be doing trim next and fireplace project after move-in) -


Dining Room before -


Dining Room current (swapped their one red wall to three red walls of our red; white primed wall to be painted neutral color) -

Master Suite before -

Master Suite current (still to do headboard project, set up awesome new bed that's sitting in plastic in the middle of the room!) -

We're still learning as we go, and will be doing some projects and touch-ups after we move in. Our lease is up in a week and a half, so we have to begin moving this weekend. Should be interesting!!

8 lbs. 6 oz., 20 inches

After waking up early in the morning to sure signs of labor, we knew that Charlotte was on her way into the world!!! It was a long day, but well worth it all - "Charlie" was healthy and perfect in every way. She looks like Daddy, but has Mommy's dark hair!

Sorry for the delay in getting these up, but here are some pictures from the hospital. I will put more up as I find the time and as our little Nugget grows!

Our big girl!

Proud Daddy

A very happy Mommy

She has some very kissable cheeks!
