Week 43 - Personality girl

Charlotte has shown many parts of her personality of late.  She is beginning to be averse to breakfast - a direct trait from her father.  Bananas, yogurt, apples, rice cereal - she just can't be bothered.  She seems to be drinking more milk in the morning but is still eating like a champ for the rest of the day.

We took Charlotte swimming last Friday (where was my camera?) and she started clapping!  She is doing this more and more which is really quite adorable.


Imee was rather perceptive in describing Charlotte's head shaking "NO" as similar to an old man losing at a casino.  She can express such gravity -even if it is just to tell us that she has had enough chicken rice.

We started to play Charlotte these baby sign language DVD's.  She is now getting spoiled as she demands to watch these (or the Teach Me How to Bucky video) while she is eating.  Now we have to somehow convince her that eating IS boring and does not always require entertainment (wish us luck with this).

Today I got Charlotte a play pen - it sort of functions as a larger, more mobile version of an exersaucer (I didn't even know what an exersaucer WAS 8 months ago).  Charlotte likes it but doesn't love it - as she enjoys her freedom to roam.

OK - on with the show!

Here is Charlotte eating and clapping:
