18 months old!

I can't believe my baby is 18 months old. We're off to the doctor for her check up today. I'll post stats later.

New shoes!

Check out Charlotte's new kicks! We haven't gotten any new shoes for Charlotte lately, but all the sudden her feet were seeming too big for her other shoes. These were too cute to pass up. Plus, she threw a fit in the store when I tried to take them off! She takes after her mommy - what girl doesn't love shoes?

Tyson's Play Area

Last week, we met some friends at the Tyson's soft play area. Charlotte and her boy friends, Jacob and Jack, loved climbing up this tree and sliding down the other side. They must have each done it at least 20 times.

"Hey dude, are you going to go down or what? You're in the way so move aside please."

"Wow, look how high I was up there!"

Happy Birthday, Kelly!

We celebrated Kelly's first birthday with her family and friends last weekend. Congratulations, Kelly's Mom for surviving the first year.

Snow

Okay, I realize that it's been two weeks since we had snow, but I'm a little behind. This is Charlotte's first real experience playing in the snow. She quickly discovered that it is not only fun to walk on but it tastes good too. Sorry for all my narration. You may want to turn down your volume.

Sickies

Sorry for the lack of blogging over the past couple of weeks. I came down with a stomach bug and then Charlotte was sick last weekend while Dave was in Vegas. Fortunately, my parents came to visit and helped me take care of her. In this picture, Charlotte is dying to go outside. She wanted to wear her hat with the idea that we'd take her outside. She'll do anything to get outside - ask for her shoes, ask for a hat, ask for her coat. Unfortunately, it was just too cold and not a good idea to take her out with a fever. Poor baby! She's doing much better with antibiotics in her system now. It's her first time ever on any medication other than tylenol or motrin.

My Gym

We had our last session at My Gym this past week. I signed Charlotte up for a 10 week session which started back in November. It was a great cold weather weekly activity. Charlotte loved every minute even though it was during her normal morning nap time. In this picture, she's intently watching the puppet show at the end of class.


She loves climbing in to small spaces!

Playing in the ball pit with her friend, Calder. I convinced Calder's mom to take the class too :) It was fun to hang out with them every week. Our friends, Amy and her son Patrick, also took the class. Unfortunately, Patrick was sick the day I decided to take pictures.

Riding the horse during "turtle time". Turtle time is the last few minutes of every class where the parents sit behind the yellow line and just let the kids play together. It's fun to just sit and watch them interact.

Everyone helps clean up!
