Char's Blessing

We went to Kingman this last weekend to bless our sweet little baby. We stayed at Dustin's parents house and my parents came down from Utah. It was really fun. I realized that I have become completely dependent on her swing for naps, which probably isn't a good thing. She had a hard time sleeping during the day without it. We went to church on Sunday where we picked up some wonderful colds. :( Dustin blessed her after church with both her grandpa's. It was so nice to have my parents there. We don't get to see them nearly often enough. Charlotte is changing so much, I need to blog more to document all this so I don't forget! She smiles all the time and is starting to mimic me. When I sing to her she sings back and she sticks out her tongue when she sees mine. She loves the t.v.! She will stare at it for quite a while, which really helps me get things done. When we took her for her two month appointment she weighed 9 lbs 3 ounces and was 22 inches long. That may not seem very big, but now that she is three months she has doubled her birth weight. I absolutely love being her mama.

Just another baby post :)

My baby is getting so big! I was looking at old pictures today and I can't believe how much she has grown in twelve weeks. I wake up everyday now to her big smiles and I love it. She has such a sweet little personality. I guess we haven't done much lately. Between classes and the baby, Dustin and I never seem to have time for anything. We try to watch movies now and then, but I never make it all the way thru one without having to do something. Dustin is going to bless her in a few weeks and I can't wait to put her dress on her. I borrowed the dress that my mom was blessed in and if she fits in it ok, she will be wearing it. Well, thats about all for now, sorry nothing exciting.

This would make me cranky too...

I think this one is self explanatory. Yuck.

Bumbos

So the other day Dustin thought it would be a good idea to put Charlotte in her Bumbo. She isn't nearly big enough for it and she can't control her head, but we gave it a try anyways. I couldn't stop laughing at how funny she was. She was all slumped over, but she was a good sport and didn't cry. She is a sweet baby.

The 12 Days of Christmas

On the First day of Christmas my true love gave to me, one beautiful baby girl.

On the Second day of Christmas I really needed a nap, but that just hasn't happened yet.

On the Third day of Christmas my baby girl smiled at me, probably because she was gassy.

On the Fourth day of Christmas we went broke buying diapers.

On the Fifth day of Christmas I got thrown up on and was too tired to shower.

On the Sixth day of Christmas I spent the night rocking a fussy pants.

On the Seventh day of Christmas I had sympathy for the dairy cows.

On the eighth day of Christmas I realized I had picked a good daddy for my baby.

By the ninth day of Christmas the laundry all smelled like sour milk.

On the tenth day of Christmas I received one hefty hospital bill, anyone want to go halfsies?

On the eleventh day of Christmas I am no longer afraid of a little poop on my hands.

On the twelfth day of Christmas I realize what a tiny miracle I hold in my undeserving hands and I thank the Lord everyday for sending her to me.

Christmas Candy in all its glory

There is something about candy that is in a Christmas bag that makes me need to buy it. The marketing companies are very cleaver in making me feel like it's ok to splurge on candy that is for a holiday, even when I start buying it in October. This week my nemesis has been the Kisses with Almonds. They are the most tricky chocolate candy out there. I would never sit down and eat two candy bars. The thought of that is pretty gross and the latter part of me would balloon into an unrecognizable shape very quickly. However, I can sit down and eat a whole pile of kisses with almonds. The equivalent of several candy bars in fact. That is gross, I know. But they look so small and innocent. My advice, don't let them trick you, just leave them at the store.
