Week 26 - 6 months old!

Ok, Charlotte really turns 6 months tomorrow...

Matt is in disbelief that 6 months have passed and so am I. 

We bid adieu to Aunt Laurie and Matt had a business trip in Hong Kong for 2 days this week.

Charlotte seems to grow a lot when Matt is gone - I don't know if I am more mindful of it becuase of his absence.

She is walking - well with the help of Imee.  She goes really fast - I can tell she will soon be annoyed at Mama for being a slow walker.

She also seems like she is close to crawling - she can lift her belly (with the help of a leg kick) and rotates around on the axis that is her belly. 

We haven't started solids but will this week.  We did put her in a high chair at TGI Fridays - she did great.  Her flailing is somewhat controlled by the seat belt.  We also put her in a booster seat that Laurie got us.  She is ready - but are we?

The bugs have gotten to her (and to us).  I bought 2 bug lights this week and decided to put mosquito stickers on her back all day long.


Also - she has this George Constanza hair - long on the sides and short on top (kind of an inverse mullet).  It is too cute.

I am feeling better - but still have a cough that will not relent.  The arthritis was flaring up with the recent illness but I am better with both the sickies and the arthritis.

On with the multimedia:

This is an awesome video - Charlotte in her new baby pool with daddy - she had the major giggles..
