Paternity Day!!



It's almost hard to get her up for her meals when she looks so sweet laying there asleep...

Josh and I have been enjoying one of his "paternity days" today~it's so nice to have him home. We get our hubby and dad around, and it also helps to run errands with four adult arms rather than two :)

We ran some errands and had our first meal out with Charlotte in tow..harkening back to my Scots-Irish roots with some lunch at Celtic Cafe, and then a visit to Harmon Creek BB&T where it was great to visit with Josh's old crew from the Kernersville days.

We've been having a great week, fun times with Kindra and Alivia on Monday, dinner with Josh's parents that evening, a little American Idol action Tuesday night, and last night Brooke and Caleb Vuljanic came over to help us polish off the last of our lasagna-fest 2008 stash. it's good times, good times in Shaw Hills :)

More pics to come...for a Charlotte update, she is holding her head up very well, being adorable, enjoying ceiling fans/lights/mylar balloons/close-up faces, growing (as of 1 month checkup she is 10 lb, 1.6 oz and 22 1/2 inches long...90%ile in height and weight), cooing, waving her arms and bicycling her legs, saying "hey" (okay, maybe just an exhale that sounded like "hey"), and perfecting her "hiccup cry" which goes something like: "uh huh [breath in], hic huh [breath in], hic ahuh, etc. about 500 times in a row... It's actually not that irritating, for a baby cry. We are definitely LOVING being parents!! It's so awesome :D

It's so great to read your updates. Charlotte is BEAUTIFUL, but then again, how couldn't she be? :) I can't wait to meet her. Addison is becoming fascinated with smaller babies and babydolls. She points to all of her baby pictures and utters something that we believe is "baby." She will love meeting Charlotte! We are attempting our KY trip again on the 13th, so maybe we can stop by that morning!! I'll be in touch! Love you!
