Peas Please

We've been practicing eating solid foods for a while now and it's been tricky. I started off feeding Charlotte rice cereal (around 4 months old) and she didn't care for it too much. Then, I tried sweet potatoes and she liked it a little better, but it's hard for her to learn the different technique of swallowing verses sucking. 

Tonight we tried peas and she loved it! I couldn't feed it fast enough! I know she looks messy, but it's so much cleaner than she was with the sweet potatoes or the cereal. More food was actually getting into her mouth this time.

 

More peas please!

1st Pool Day!

Today Charlotte got to experience the swimming pool for the first time. She didn't know what to think at first; her face was VERY serious looking. I'm sure she was wondering, "why are so many people in my bath tub?"  After a while she got used to the water and began having a great time. She loved splashing her hands and feet in the water!!

Justin and I are thrilled that she liked it! Our summer's off to a GREAT start!!!

She played so hard that she wore herself out!  She fell asleep before we even left the parking lot so I put her to bed in her swimming suit.

I WANT MY DADDY!!

This face is priceless! Justin was in Tyler for the night because he had a hearing there for one of his cases. It was a big deal for him because he got to argue in court.  Charlotte was not impressed, though. I took this picture on my cell phone and sent it to Justin titled, I Miss My Daddy. It made his day!

Having FUN at The Little Gym

              Love the Yoga pose!! ~ that's pure Charlotte, not the class

Already crawling to me!!

What a face! She's hitting the yellow balloons.

Our good friends, Shelley & Rett

Determined to get those bells!

The class always ends with bubbles and a fun song.

We again had a  blast! And yes, you're eyes are right, Charlotte's outfit changed during the class because it got wet! She's moved into the #3  diapers, but I have 12 #2's left and trying to make it work, but as I found out ~ it doesn't work!! 

Hope you enjoy the pics!

Watch out, she's mobile!!

Charlotte is already starting to crawl! It started last week and I couldn't believe my eyes. My 5 month old monkey is MOBILE!! Granted it's a very slow crawl, all arms, but none the less, she's on the move! 

It all began with a small bowl. She was playing with it and it kept getting further and further away from her. So, what's a monkey to do? She pulled herself across the room doing an army crawl. I give credit to her gymnastics class. She's been going to baby gymnastics for a month. She loves it so much, it's adorable to watch her face light up! Last week was "daddy day" and her daddy was the ONLY ONE there!! She was so proud!! It was good for Justin to see what I've been raving about. He had a great time watching her do "back whoopty doos" and forward rolls. We go with friends, Shelley and her son Rett, and meeting new friends each week. It's fun to watch the babies explore one another. We're going today to begin the Summer Session. Hopefully I can get some pictures of it to share.

What is a blog?

What is a blog? That is the question I've asked many times in the past. What a funny little word. I still don't fully understand, but I'm starting to feel a little left out! I truly only use the computer for email, myspace, and occasionally shopping. I've never been the type to venture into Celebrity gossip sites, blogs, or even important news websites. But I've decided to give this "blogging" a try. So, here goes!!
