Ready, Set, Crawl!!...or not

She looks like she's ready to do a sprint...the only problem is that she hasn't figured out how to coordinate her arms and hands into the whole process, so she just moves her legs like she's climbing but she doesn't go anywhere. After about 30 seconds she starts whining and turns around and looks at me. Too funny, Charlotte. I suppose she'll figure it out soon enough :)

On the Move

She is beginning to use the furniture to "walk"/stagger around :) She loves different fabrics...especially the sofa one. She'll scratch her fingernails on it and coo and smile.

Her little tounge is out: Miss. Intent!!

Afternoon Play

She pulled out almost all the toys from the basket in a couple of minutes...indecisive like her mama!

I'm starting to dread when she can pick out her own clothes for the day!

Bed Time...

Well, we officially had to lower the crib to the lowest mattress level!! She is getting to be so mobile that we just don't trust her to stay in the crib...first stage of big girl status initiated! An eventful end to an eventful day!!

MBA, Here we come!

First of all, a congrats to my awesome hubby for being accepted to Wake Forest MBA school!! I am so proud of him (of course not just for this!) and happy that he is on the road to where he wants to be. (one more qualifying remark from me: it's fine with us if he doesn't want to go!)

Charlotte has been working on sitting up and is doing great! She hates all baby food (just like her mother) and so we are still plugging away on the seemingly fruitless task of finding something she likes. Once we get a new computer that can handle a video, we'll post some of her, um, eating?...some green beans. Or "beens" as I just mistyped and had to share. Now on to the pictures!

Blackberry

Here are some pictures we've taken on Josh's Blackberry that we just downloaded onto the 'pooter. (shoutout to Karen G.) Finally, proof we took Charlotte to the beach! ;)

A Gas Tea Party

"We need to stand up and tell our guvment that we ain't goin' stand for this no mo. You mean to tell me we had a Boston tea party and we cain't have no gas tea party"?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a quote from the local news in Greensboro. The newslady introduced this quote by saying, "wise words from so-en-so on the rising price of gas..." This would have been even more awesome if there had suddenly been a freak gas tea party fight, considering the spot was being taped at a local gas station.
