5 Months

Our little girl is not so little any more! She turned 5 months yesterday. She is such a smart girl and getting so big! She no longer is in her starter car seat, she has graduated to a big girl car seat!! And she never stops eating....she love bananas. Every morning she has either bananas, pears or apple and every evening she has squash, peas, beans, sweet potatoes or carrots. The only thing she has tried and disliked is peaches. She is so close to crawling too. She tries so hard. Here is Charlotte's last month in pictures......

 

We got dumped on a couple weeks ago with about 18 inches of snow in one day!! I got to stay home from work so Charlotte and I took advantage of a snow day and played outside while Matt shoveled.

 

Her new favorite toy to play with is.......her foot!! She loves to suck on her toes. 

 

Charlotte has been having a blast at daycare playing with Ms. Jenna and her buddies Blake and Brody! She's always got a big smile on her face!

 

Charlotte got a new glow-seahorse for at night! 

 

And since she is becoming such a big girl.....we got her a walker!! She loves kicking her feet a million miles an hour and giggles the faster she goes.

 

 

 

 

Milestones!!!

We reached some pretty big milestones the last couple of days!! She rolled from her back to her stomach and then back over again!! We were all so excited. I'm so glad she waited till we were there to see it!! Once she gets on her tummy, she tries so very hard to get her knees under her. It won't be long and our little girl will be crawling all over the house!

She has been giggling so much! She has such a darling laugh.....you can't help but laugh with her.

My Funny Valentine......

Today is Charlotte's first Valentine's Day! She also had her 4 month check up and shots......not so nice.

 

Charlotte is in the 90th percentile for her head circumference, weight and height which means she is still extremely proportionate! Her head circumference is 16 3/4 inches.  Her weight is 16lbs and her height is 26inches. She is growing so fast and getting smarter every day.

She got tons of love today on her first Valentine's day........

 

She made a sweet little Valentine for her Mommy and Daddy at daycare today.

Her Best Bud Blake made her a Valentine......

And her BFF Brody got her a cute Valentine gift!!

 

Brody and Charlotte

 She even made Valentines for her Grandparents!!

 

 We've been having so much fun! Charlotte loves bathtime. We had to move her little tub into the big tub because she splashes so much. She thinks getting daddy all wet is the funniest thing ever!

 

She gets more and more talkative everyday. She tends to get a little camera shy when I try to record it but here's the best I could do!

Aunt Ricki came to visit as well!! Charlotte absolutely adores her Aunt Ricki and loves when she comes over to play. 

 

In the mornings, Charlotte likes to sit in my bathroom with me and help me get ready for the day!

She is my Valentine and I love her more everyday! XOXO

Four Months Old

Where to start! Our little girl is growing so fast! We've hit many milestones over the last month........

 

She got her first pair of jeans from Grandma Grandt. They are so precious with little owls on them!!

 

She's teething too. She has two back teeth coming in and one front upper tooth. Lots of drooling and chewing!

 

She doesn't go ANYWHERE without her monkey! It has to be with her at all times. We went to Appleton for a weekend to go to Aunt Colleen's baby shower and she slept most of the shower! It was Brewer's themed so she rocked her pink brewers top. We are so excited to meet Baby Isaac and can't wait for a new playmate. We stayed at a hotel with Grandma Grandt that weekend, another first for little Charlotte. She slept pretty good away from home.

 She's even holding her own bottle now! Her motor skills are really getting sharp.

 

 She loves her little piano. I think we might have a musician on our hands. She kicks so hard! 

She loves going to daycare. They have so much fun going for walks, playing outside, doing art projects and most of all, playing with her friends!

Sticking her tongue out.....her signature face!

We started food this last week! No more just formula!! First she had cereal with banana puree (love the magic bullet).......

 

And then we had Roasted Apples!! Yumm....she really liked those.

 

I can't believe how fast she is growing. She sits like a big girl in her stroller now when we go for walks. She loves the outdoors and the fresh air. 

 

She has been talking up a storm! Every day she makes a new sound or gets louder. There's nothing better than having a conversation with her. She makes me smile more and more everyday. We have to be the luckiest parents to have such a beautiful and smart little girl.

Three Months Old

 

Our little girl is 3 months old!! She is getting so big and smart! She sits up really good in her Bumbo Chair she got for Christmas. There are so many things she has learned to do and is accomplishing. She's talking a lot more and tries to copy sounds you make. She started on juice too! Once every night she gets some juice. She really likes it. I can't wait until we can start introducing new foods!! She is always full of smiles and giggles all the time. Such a happy little girl.

 

We started out using the nuk when she was born thinking it would be easier than her thumb to take away when she got older, however, she has chosen to refuse the nuk and sucks her thumb. Occasionally it's her whole fist but now that she's found her thumb, it's in her mouth whenever she gets sleepy or wants to eat. At least we tried! Should be fun trying to get her to stop......I'll worry about that later though.

 

Most recently she has found the back of her head!! She's always striking a pose!!

 

She is great at reaching for things and grabbing on. She pulls on the bird all the time and listens to the music. She's even holding her bottle by herself occasionally! She'll lay on my lap and grab my fingers and pull herself up to a sitting position. She is so strong!!

 

She's a kickin' machine!! Those legs are always going a million miles an hour! Once she's up and walking I don't think I'll ever be able to catch her!!

 

She loves going to daycare!! She has so much fun doing art projects, singing and most of all playing with her friends Brody and Blake.

 

Her and Brody play so well together!

 

I can't wait to see what another month brings!!

Happy New Year!!!
