Two Months!

Two months! Where has the time flown!?!? Our little girl has gotten so much bigger and we are having so much fun with her! She is currently sacked out in her boppy because she had her first shots today. That was super traumatic for us since we had never heard her scream like that, but thankfully the screaming didn't last too long and she's just slept since then.

Life with Charlotte is changing every day. It seems like almost daily she does some new trick that we get a kick out of. A lot has happened since her one month birthday. Today at the doctor she got weighed and measured and weighs 10 pounds and is 21.8 inches long. Those are both in the 32nd percentile which our doctor described as the lower portion of average. He also kind of looked at me and said that her being shorter was to be expected, I'm not sure what he meant by that! :)


Look how big she looks next to her bear and how alert she is!

Charlotte is now noticing things a lot more. She will turn and look at you if you're talking (she's looking at Jason as he makes funny faces at her in this picture) and noticed Luca two nights ago. She is content to sit (or lay as it may be) in her activity gym for longer periods of time just kicking and batting at the objects and watching the star above her sing and change colors. She also smiled at me while I was playing "peek-a-boo" with her the other night. These days we're doing just about anything we can to elicit a smile!

Like this one when she's laughing at us because we're trying to make her smile. We've yet to catch a real heart-stopper on film since she likes smiling at us and not a black camera the most but we're still working on it.

At this point she was tired of the flash and the pictures and was hiding behind her bear!

Some other things that are new in this last month is that Charlotte will hold on to a rattle if you put it in her hand and hit herself in the head with it a few times. She has started loving her little blanket with the elephant head on it and will suck on it if a passy isn't nearby. She squeals at herself while she's talking herself to sleep at night and playing in her activity gym.

She still isn't consistently sleeping through the night but every few nights she makes is 7 hours which is a blessing for us. She's in a pretty consistent routine during the day but doesn't mind when we go out to shop or for lunch or to run errands. She is a great trooper and will pretty much sleep through anything if she's in her car seat!

Charlotte is a wonderful little girl and we are loving getting to know her personality. We look forward to watching her grow and grow and grow!
