Friday, October 5, 2007

Charlotte is very very vocal these days. In between those adorable smiles she gives she is talking "charlotte talk" which is basically cooing and vowel sounds. She enjoys her "tummy time" and will happily tell you all about her day for as long as you'll listen. She'll go back and forth with us... Charlotte says, "Ahhhhugghh", Mommy and Daddy say, "Really? Tell me about it". And then she does -- in her on language of course. I can't wait to ask her one day what she has been saying all this time!! haha! What a fun stage we are entering!

Such a happy baby

Charlotte and Jack -- BFF

What a lucky little girl -- only 3 months old and she already has a best friend. Meet Jack. Jack is the son of our friends Jake and Robyn who we actually met in our birthing class! Robyn and MM were due the same week, but Charlotte came a week early, and Jack came 2 weeks late! None the less - a match has been made - and the Moms would love nothing more than our little ones to grow up together! They have already shared many adventures; including a movie date, playtime at each others house, and a day at the mall where they met the Chick-Fil-A cow!

In the pics, you will see Wes holding Jack, Robyn holding Charlotte, then the Dads holding their respective children!

Generations...

Charlotte is so lucky to have lots of people who love her but some very special people have made the trek to visit with her already... her great-grandmothers! Wes's grandmother "Mum", and MM's, "Mama J". Charlotte can't wait to meet the rest of her loving family!

(Charlotte and Mama J are 90 years difference in age! Amazing!)

Red Bird

When we were pregnant, our favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series. We are originally from North Carolina and our state bird is the Cardinal. MM's family affectionately calls her "Bird" from a famous childhood story. All these things lead to us calling our unborn child a "little red bird". Cute, huh? Well - little did we know our baby would be born with RED HAIR!! That's right! Red hair and blue eyes... too cute. Everyone says we will just have to wait and see what happens to the color and texture, but nothing has changed thus far -- its gotten longer, fuller, curlier (after a bath) and REDDER (if that's even a word)!! We aren't quite sure where it came from... Wes and I both have a tinge of red in certain lights - as well as some other family members do too -- but nothing like Miss Charlottes!! Red Bird really seems fitting now!!
