Learning to play!

Charlotte is changing every day. It is amazing to watch her grow and learn, and grow and learn she is doing!!! Just this past week she has discovered TOYS!!! She is reaching and grabbing and all kinds of toys...it is so fun! She is even playing in the bath tub! It was so sweet to watch her splash in the water have a good old time!

Bath time!!!

We still love our Bumbo chair!

She loves to be read to and her very favorite book is...
We are having a lot of fun these days. Charlotte truly is a blessing!

A few quick pictures!

Charlotte is starting to actually like "tummy time," these days. It isn't her favorite place to be, by far, but she is learning it isn't so bad! Here are a few quick picture I snapped the other day. Sorry for all the red eye, I will have to figure out what is up with my camera.
She is getting so big!!! Nearly three months old already!!!

Talking Talking Talking

Okay, we are going to try this. This is a short video I took last week with my phone. The picture is HORRIBLE, but turn up your speakers! Charlotte is talking talking talking these days and it is wonderful!!! Here she is talking to her daddy and making faces! Too cute!

Spring Time In Colorado

We got a bit of a surprise when we woke up yesterday morning. Spring time in the Rockies is a bit unpredictable, but this is just craziness!!! Olive playing in the snow...
So, even though we LOVE the snow, we are so ready for SPRING!!!!

Getting so big!!!

Charlotte is growing like crazy and has reached a few milestones this past week. First, she rolled over!!!! I was surprised to say the least, but so excited! Secondly, she is lifting her head up like a champ!!! Thirdly, she is turning herself around! I put her in her crib at night, facing the head of her bed, and when we get her up in the morning she is turned sideways!!! It is so fun to watch her learning and growing! I will post more pictures later, but here is one I took with my phone yesterday!

Bumbo!!

Charlotte got two new special things today! Verna and I went to a children's consignment store here in town and found two great finds...a Bumbo chair and a Johnny Jumper! The jumper will have to wait to be used, but the Bumbo can be used now! It is a special chair that allows her to sit up all by herself! She was smiling and looking around, I think the world looks different from this new position! Here she is in her new chair...what a big girl!!!

Handmade Treasures

I have been pulling out a few handmade treasures that we received for Charlotte. It has been fun to see all the special gifts and know all the time and heart that went into each and every one of them. Here are a few pictures of some of them...

This is a little dress that was made by Charlotte's Great Aunt Grace. Carmen, Charlotte's aunt, wore this dress when she was a baby!

This little green blanket was also made by Aunt Grace...

This is a beautiful blanket made by Charlotte's Great Grandma "Oma"

This fun blanket was made by Becky, Charlotte's aunt...

I just had to add this last picture. She is happy in this picture, believe it or not...this is her thinking face!!! This is the face she gives us when she is trying really hard to figure something out. She was quite fixated on the camera! I just had to show it off...She is quite the thinker already!!
We have enjoyed all the special gifts we recieved for our sweet baby girl. We are so blessed!
