Week 67 and Week 19

Charlotte is saying words - so many words. Ok, not so many, but some words, and it is cute. She sometimes says words you don't expect her too - like parroting "mop" which is funny, but she has yet to say "dog" or "thank you" (and we want her to say both even though she signs both). So she says no, apple, up, one, two (and sometimes three), mama, mamaye (same as mama), dada, Imee, more, mop (though she doesn't know what that means) and the aforementioned oh my gosh (all with pregnant pauses in between the words. Usher would be so proud she doesn't said the Lord's name in vain). Charlotte also knows where her eyes and her belly are.

We went to the doctor for a wellness check - she is 32" tall and 25 pounds (11.7 kg). The doctor asks if she can do all of these things like know where her eyes are and of course she won't do anything in front of the doctor because she is an artist and her art cannot be forced! I mean, she is probably just shy sometimes.

I have eaten like total crap over the last few days (a harrowing number of consecutive meals that included french fries) and as of tonight we are in our new house! Miraculous I survived as I am just a horrendous mover - I don't know why I continue to be traumatized by it but I do. At least all of our stuff is in one place. Charlotte was on a day long play date today because there was no where to sleep and we could concentrate on moving instead of moving around to find her.

Pregnancy wise - no new news. Just cooking along this week (good because I was so distracted by moving!).

Sorry this is going to be a lazyish post - I will post more later this week I promise. Here are some long overdue photos of our professional photo shoot from Charlotte's first birthday.
