Major Milestone

This blog entry is actually current - today (October 22) Charlotte sat unassisted for the first time! She did it on several occasions, and once I was fortunate enough to catch it on film!

"Look mom, I'm a big girl!"

Charlotte's Friends!

Here are some pictures of Charlotte with her friends:

Charlotte with Micah on July 20:

 Sorry these pictures are sideways. They aren't sideways on my computer. Sometimes Blogger does that. :(

 

(this one is my favorite - they might be opera stars, not unhappy babies!)

Charlotte with Fiona on August 14:

Charlotte with Adrian on August 20-24:

Charlotte with Kiera on August 11:

 

 Charlotte with Francis (Also on August 11):

Cute Charlotte Faces!

Michael took some face shots of Charlotte when she was very new.  The camera says these were taken June 13, maybe on the way to Charlotte's first doctor's appointment with her pediatrician.

A student's mother made this dress for Charlotte.  On July 15, I thought I'd try to put her in it. It was huge, but she was adorable anyway. Here are some of my favorite shots:

On August 11 we were on our way home from meeting Charlotte's Minnesota friends and relatives. I thought she was particularly cute in her turquoise outfit in the car seat.  She had some big fusses on the car ride, and a 4.5 hour trip took 7 hours, but overall she was a good little traveler! I had fun doing a little photo shoot with her in the car.

I loved the car pictures so much that I did another photo shoot with her on August 17.

. . . and on August 24 before Adrian's Open House in Madison and the Taste of Portage, because she was in such a happy mood!

. . . and on August 25

Oh, I love Charlotte yawns!!

. . . and August 28

. . . and these two were on August 31, while we were in Madison visiting with Bapa and Aunts Jenny and Karen
