Grandparents Arrive!

As is typical, I am very behind in my blog posting.  Charlotte turns five months old today so before I fill up the camera with pictures from her photo shoot, I thought I might try to get caught up.  This post is from June when Grandma and Papa came for a visit.  The camera is always snapping when these two are around so I had just a few pictures to sort through!  They are some truly precious ones and we had such a great week.  It's amazing to look back and see just how much Charlotte has grown since they were here.




Meeting Papa for the first time.  He's already getting smiles!


Grandma taught Kate how to take photos on her phone.  Here is one of MANY self-portraits they took.
 
 


Still lovin' the hair!


Papa gets a workout!


And gets a well-deserved nap.


Charlotte spent much of month three swaddled in her Rock 'n Play basket.  This thing saved us!!


Kate loved 'sharing' breakfast each morning with Papa.  
 
We ventured out to the Children's Museum.  Charlotte spent the morning snoozing while Kate had lots of fun painting and playing.
 
 
 


She loves Legos.  Wonder where she gets that from?


More smiles!
 
 


Of course we had to go to Amy's!

 
 

Sadly, this was our one and only trip to the splash pad all year.  Too hot for Mommy and Baby Charlotte!
 
 


 


Come back and visit soon!!

Month Two Here and Gone

As Charlotte is about to be three months old, I figured it was time to get pictures from month 2 up.  Charlotte's second month was filled with fun times spent with Big Sister Kate, lots more awake time, and first smiles.

Charlotte got to attend a few of Kate's music classes.  Although she was relegated to the corner with the other little sisters.  She snoozed right through the Hello Song all the way to Goodbye.  Even kept sleeping as we went with Campbell and her new baby sister Kendall to see the fish pond afterwards.




Her hair is still red!
 


Kate instructs Nana on exactly how to take care of Baby Charlotte.


Sacked out in Daddy's arms.  Not a bad place to be!


Kate is such a big helper especially when it comes to bath time.  I just have to keep her from poking her in the eye or drowning her with water!!


She also likes to share her lamb and sticker books with Charlotte.  As long as C is bound up and can't grab either of them!


This started an impromptu photo shoot.
 
 


I didn't mean a kiss on the lips!  Oh well, at least Kate wasn't sick.
 


Charlotte had her first play date with Baby Emmett who was born just a little under a month after her.  Hopefully next time she'll be a little happier!


The pool was open on Memorial Day Weekend.  Charlotte enjoyed it from the sidelines while Kate stuck close to the snack table.  
 


Capturing her first smiles.  So precious!


On Memorial Day the family played in the front yard and Mommy couldn't put the camera down.  
 
 


Kate got so fed up with my picture taking that she only allowed me to get 50 feet away.  Good thing I have a new zoom lens!


Checking out the view with Daddy


Charlotte got to meet the ladies of Campbell Travel.  Charlie will be spoiling her rotten just like she did her older sister!


While it may look like Kate is restraining Charlotte, she was actually trying to dance with her.  


And just like that, Charlotte was two months old!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Grandma and Papa were here to visit in early June.  Since there were only 200 photos from that visit, I'll save those for a separate blog post!
