Daddy brought Charlie a jumperoo that belonged to his colleague and she immediately had to try it out. Look at the sheer joy of weightlessness!!

Charlie has a cold. Could be the frigid temperatures, could be the teething. She has a runny nose….so much, in fact, that Mommy & Daddy are on “Snot Patrol”. The little girlie is a super-sleeper and rarely wakes up in the middle of the night, but the poor thing has had a little trouble this week. She rolls over on her stomach and then can’t breathe, which scares her and causes her to cry. Nothing seems to dampen her spirits though, because she’s smiling and cooing as usual. And she wants you all to know that her Daddy is her hero.

More gumming…..

Charlie is teething. She hasn’t quite been herself these days….fussy….generally unhappy. Ethan’s Mommy, Jennifer, loaned Mommy the “Classical Baby” DVD set, and Charlie really likes it. Here she is, using her infant seat as an easy chair. It works in a pinch, or at least until she has her own chair…..maybe she’ll put that on her birthday wishlist in September! Doesn’t she look like she needs a little extra TLC?? Or, at least something cold to gum on.

Here’s Charlie in her new bunny slippers from her Aunt M’Emily. If you’ll notice, her feet are actually touching the floor!! The girlie is growing up so fast!!

We are getting closer to capturing that sweet smile!!
