Autumn 2009

October is here and flying by. We celebrated our 2nd Wedding Anniversary on the 12th and agreed that our gift to each other had been given 10 weeks earlier. What better gift than Charlotte and just spending time together with her?

Charlotte is now 10 weeks old and is changing so much. She no longer pulls her hair when she's mad, but there's a list of new things we laugh about.

We are lucky that she has been sleeping from around 9 each night to 6 in the morning, we'll take it (for now)!! But it's the night routine we love - I fill her belly nice and full and bring her up to our room (yes, our room) where I turn on her ceiling projector from Mimi. She smiles very sweetly at the fish swimming on the ceiling and then looks over and smiles at our ceiling fan!! I sway her to sleep - where she can stare between the fish and the fan - and she's out with a smile.

She is a pro at her monkey play mat now and not only accidentally hits the toys, but can grab and feel them now. But nothing beats her excitement when I lean over the top of it and she sees me among the toys.

We've gotten some giggles a couple of times and boy have I tried hard to get more. They're the cutest.

She still won't take a bottle; no longer enjoys her bath (this makes me sad); watches football games with Daddy ... even if SU is losing!; loves watching the trees and lights go by when we're in the car; is still trying to learn to breathe in the crisp fall wind; and could beat any grown man in a farting contest!! lol She's a character.

Here are a couple of new pics:

I washed all of her 6 month clothes - put one outfit on, and it fits!! She's growing too fast!!!!

Her eyes are still a beautiful blue!

I have some photos of her in her Halloween costume ... I am trying to keep it a surprise for now and will post the pics on Halloween!!
