Picture Perfect

We took our family photo's on Thanksgiving and I'm finally putting them up. Here are some of our favorites...







Scott's cousin Kristin took them for us. Check out her blog on our friends and family list. Thanks Kristina!

Any advise?

I have a very sad and in pain baby at my home. Charlotte is teething! Two at once! What do I do to comfort my sweet girl?

Ring...Ring...Ring

"Haai!"



So about a month ago I noticed that Charlotte kept putting the remote by her head, but I didn't think much of it. Until one night she was freaking out about something and so, to distract her, I pretended to "answer " the remote. She grabbed the "phone" and had a full on conversation, all in a language I couldn't understand. So now you can catch little miss talking on the phone all the time. The best part is that everything gets turned into a phone - remote controls, Nintendo controllers, her stuffed animals, Cheerios, and even an orange peel. In fact, any time a phone rings on the television, Charlotte picks up whatever is closest to "answer" it. And every once in a while you will hear a tiny little voice say, "Haai"! 

Ms. Gets-Into-Everything, I mean Charlotte...

is keeping her dad and I very busy these days. She is now crawling very well, so she thinks the house is hers to explore. I have to remind myself to always close the bathroom door, and that I will be putting the DVDs back in their place at least five times that day. I'm okay with that, but I'm not okay with my baby falling as she tries to explore the house. Poor thing looks pretty disheveled at the end of the day.  






Even as she is pulling my side table down on top of herself (don't worry no one got hurt), I'm amazed at how fast she is growing. She keeps me busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being her mom.
