Ms. Charlotte Goes to Washington

Last week we took our first family vacation. We went to visit my Aunt in Spokane, Washington. So, Charlotte had her first plane ride! We were very nervous because it is a long trip and we had four flights due to a layover. Charlotte did remarkably well and she was a hit with the flight attendants. We had only one snag in our travels - Charlotte pooped through her clothes before we even got to our gate in Milwaukee! This being my first plane trip with a baby I had no plastic bag in which to transport the now soiled outfit - God Bless helpful airport workers. Overall, we had an excellent trip. Washington is such a beautiful place. We can't wait to take Charlotte back when she is older and can enjoy more of what the state has to offer.

Four Months Old

Well, I figured I should make Charlotte's four month post before she turns five months in a week. To be fair, she keeps us pretty busy and she is doing so many fun things that we don't want to miss. She gets more alert by the day. It only took her four months, but she is on a pretty good schedule. She does between two and three naps per day depending on how long each nap is and she can sleep up to 8 hours at night. With nothing to compare to - we feel pretty blessed that we have such an easy baby! Charlotte is full of smiles these days and she will talk to anyone who will listen. And as you can see from her picture, she is following in her Mommy and Daddy's footsteps and becoming a badger fan (which makes her Auntie Angie extremely proud!). We've also discovered that Charlotte LOVES football. She will watch an entire game. She will only watch 5 minutes or so of a baby einstein video, but she stayed up late to watch the whole (very sad) Packers/Vikings game. She really is her mother's daughter.

Three Month Photo Shoot

Charlotte had her three month photo's taken at JCPenny's. She did a pretty good job, but she doesn't like to sit still and was staring at the toy that we brought for her instead of looking at the camera. Through all the drama, we were able to get a few good photos. I think she looks spectacular!! But I am a biased Mommy!!
