9 Month Well Visit!

All is well in Charlotte-land! We went for her 9 month well visit on Wednesday, and the doctor said she is practically perfect!

22 lbs 15 oz.
29.5 inches long

The doctor was very pleased with everything and gave the go-ahead to let her eat whatever Charlotte wants! Well, everything except egg whites, peanut butter, and honey... but that goes for all babies. Other than that, have at it! Charlotte has been eating "table food" for a while now, but now we have the official word to do it! Haha! She loves cheese, avocado, tomatoes, chicken, spaghetti-o's, well... pretty much everything!

She'll go back after her one year birthday! I can't believe its only 3-ish months away! So exciting!!

Updates of the week:

- currently getting her first tooth!
- pulling herself up to her knees
- clapping
- lovvvves Spaghetti-O's!!
- officially 9 months old!

More eggs please!!!

Easter party at Chautauqua! She liked the bunny at first -- but then he started talking to her and she got a little confused! She was done with him after that! However, she loved playing with the Easter Eggs!

almost over him...

1st Day of Spring!

Leprechauns and Fairies

Every year around St. Patties Day, Charlottes' school (Chautauqua) is visited by "fairies". I know -- I was confused as well. But the Director of the school has a tradition of creating a magical fairy village annually for the children to enjoy. Now, the older kids, who have experienced this before, were all very excited that the "fairies came back". Charlotte and I however, had no clue what to expect! We went to see it, and here are some pics of Charlotte in the village. I have also thrown in a cute pic from that morning for "good luck".

Happy St. Patties Day!!

It's just my size!

Pollen is funny!

Charlotte and mommy were playing after school the other day - and thanks to the abundance of pollen right now, mommy coughed. Well - I guess this was funny?? Charlotte dropped her toy and gave me quite a confused look. I said, "Mommy just coughed... its okay!" So, I put out a fake cough to show her I was fine, and she she got quite a kick out of it. I ran to get the camera and made a quick movie of it! Sorry its kinda grainy - not enough time to pull out the real video camera, but it will do. Enjoy!!!

Playtime -- Ball Pit!!

Our little lamb...

This past weekend we had the joy of having Charlotte baptised! March 2nd, Charlotte was baptised at our church, St. Matthews Lutheran, here in Charleston. We had a whole entourage of adoring fans, family, and friends there to witness this wonderful event! Thanks to everyone who could make it - it was a great visit and we were so happy to share this day with all of you! Here are just a few of the pictures from what we like to call, "The Day of Charlotte".
