Here’s Charlie, enjoying a visit with her friends Kate and Kelly. As you can see, sometimes it’s hard getting everyone to focus. Getting these two shots took about 30 minutes. Charlie thinks they are all quite photogenic, don’t you??

Charlie gets her sleep on post-Thanksgiving. As you can see, she’s dressed in her finest!

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon will be there!!! Charlie prepares for Santa’s arrival. Here she is, contemplating, yet again, the wonders of the season.

Well, not quite yet, but it is cold in Chicago!! Here’s Charlie, dressed in her winter finest. She’s thinking about what she wants to ask Santa for Christmas. Will it be a pony? A Fendi baguette? Oh, the possibilities!

Look’s like Charlie is learning how to self-soothe. This makes Daddy a little nervous!

Here’s Charlie, wearing an old t-shirt that Mommy wore when she was a baby!!! Doesn’t she look great in her casual chic??

They didn’t call her “The Godfather” for nothing….

Siena (aka “Sissy”) was not about to let Baby Charlie have all the fun. She wanted to play in the Rainforest too!!

Now that Mommy and Daddy have gotten a little more sleep, the biggest task of late is snapping a pic of Charlie smiling. Just as elusive, the smile is suprisingly hard to capture. Especially when you have as busy a schedule as Charlie does. Today she thought she might look around for awhile and maybe do some tummy time. You might be happy to know that Charlie is officially “sleeping through the night”–11 pm to 5 am, to be exact. A happy Mommy makes a happy baby!!!
