11 months!!

This last weekend Charlie turned 11 months old! what! its hard to believe that she is going to be a year old next month!!
Charlie now has 7 1/2 teeth! lol one of her top teeth can't decide if it wants to come through yet

no walking yet but its coming. she's more willing to stand on her own and she will squat down and come back up a bunch of times trying to decide if she should try it :)

more words are coming out but not real words lol. she loves to jabber but we still have no idea whats she's saying. she's sad dad and hi and a few other things but they may have just been our imagination.

this year we had thanksgiving at my parents on thanksgiving and at our house with travis's family on friday. it was a lot of fun and Charlie loved all the different foods

Charlie loves her jonny jump still. she spends hours in it and runs in circles and spins its funny to watch

we got a new computer this month so most of my pictures are on the old one still but here's what i do have.

what? 10 months??

it's crazy how fast time goes!
Charlie is now 10 months old! her first Halloween is tomorrow! she's going to be so cute :)

Charlie is very active and keeps this mommy on her toes all the time. I have been sick this last week so it's been hard to keep up with her.

She is loving her johnny jump lately :)
her legs are getting stronger and i have no doubt she'll start walking soon.

her top 2 teeth are coming in more and more you can see all four of her teeth when she smiles most of the time now :)

Charlie still doesn't talk but we have got her to say dada a few times :)

Her little giggle is just getting cuter :) she smiles so much now its crazy.

she loves her trucks and giant tennis ball they are probably her favorite toys :)
She also loves her dog. Travis holds her on Chewys back so she can ride him around the room and she LOVES it!

sleeping through the night is still not working but its getting better :)

her birthday and first Christmas are in just 2 months! so crazy!!!

I love my crazy little midget its amazing how big she's getting

9 months!!!

I cannot believe that it has been 9 months already! Charlie is getting so big. the 9 months before this took so long waiting for my little miss to come into this world but the last 9 months with her here have gone by so fast it's crazy!
there are long days and long nights but looking back it doesn't seem like any time at all has passed.

Little Miss Charlie learned to crawl this month!! yay! now she is into EVERYTHING! I can't put everything away where she can't reach so the things she can reach are all over the floor the second they are put away.

Her 2 front top teeth are coming in and it's making her cranky :/ she's pretty good during the day but at night it's a war zone between us trying to get her to sleep. I hope they break through soon so we can maybe get some sleep going on again. She's up at night to eat still but when she's not teething she sleeps pretty good.

We started reading bedtime stories this month and I'm not sure she's a fan. She just wiggles and whines the whole time but mom likes to read to her so it's ok.

Charlie's 9 month appointment isn't until next week so I have no idea what she weighs now but she's heavy.

ok picture time :)

just woke up

mmm cake

we got a johnny jump this month :)

camo baby

nom nom nom

she didn't want to hold still but her coat is so cute

I am in love with this picture!! 

8 months

I can't believe Charlie is already 8 months old!

She's getting so big! Her hair is finally coming in so she's no longer bald :)
This month Charlie became a cousin again. Her new cousin was the same size as her when he was born.
She also became a second cousin again too! and this new relative is smaller than Charlie was if you can imagine that!

She impressed me this month, Charlie can sit up on her own! I first noticed the other day that she was doing it and I was so excited but then i realized that this was just the first time i realized what she was doing she's been sitting up on her own for weeks and i just did notice! I'm one proud mama :)

Still no crawling but she's almost there in the next week i bet she'll be doing it :) she wants to walk me than crawl. she always wants to be up on her feet all the time so she pulls herself up on everything she can.

She is also starting to sleep better at night. she still eats in the middle of the night but she can fall back to sleep on her own if i let her and she will put herself to sleep when i lay her down in her crib. she fights her morning naps like there's no tomorrow but her afternoon naps she usually does willingly.

This month we also started going on walks everyday and Charlie loves them :) and they're making me feel better too!

Poor baby also got her first real cold this month :( she's all stuffed up and cranky but is handling it reasonably well no fever or anything.

she likes to hide under the couch

7 months with a Stay At Home Mommy

Charlie turned 7 months old! this is nuts! she's getting so big so fast its crazy.
This month Charlie learned to pull herself up to standing! scared the crap out of me when she did it too. she was in her cradle and decided it was time to stand up so she did and i thought she was going to come out. so, needless to say she is now in her crib which has higher sides and its harder to come out of.

She hasn't quite figured out the whole crawling thing yet but she's working really hard on it. she gets very angry that she can't crawl :) her head is just to big. she cant have both her head and her butt in the air at the same time it doesn't work one or the other or both always ends up going back down. could have something to do with that fact that her head is in the 70th percentile and her body is around the 50th lol

She loves real food now. If she can she always wants it instead of her bottle. bread and cheerios are her favorite apart from Oreos' :) she isn't the biggest fan of baby food though. i think its to mushy for her, she like to be able to bite it with her teeth, which she still only has 2 of but lately it seems like she may be working on more.

This month also marked my last day of work, I now get to be a stay at home mommy with my little midget :) I'm excited. I hasn't really sunk in yet because really I've only missed 2 days that i would normally have been working so far. I'm so happy that I get to watch my little one grow and be there for her all the time now.

bath time in the sink after eating an oreo :)

6 months and a handful

My little miss Charlie Rae is going to be 6 months old this Sunday! Yes SIX MONTHS! How that's possible I don't even know. Wasn't it just yesterday that I was being wheeled into my room in the womens center holding the most beautiful little girl i have ever seen.

Her 6 month appointments not until next week so idk exactly how big she is yet but shes definitely getting big!
Charlie can now sit up unsupported. she cant get to the sitting position by herself but if you sit her up she'll stay up for a long time
she loves to play with her toys now :) but really her favorite toys are things shes not suppose to play with like plastic bags because they make so much noise or paper it crinkles when she tries to eat it lol
she has discovered how to suck on her bottom lip and its pretty cute :) she's also learning to blow kisses if you blow them at her she usually tries to do it back

the most exciting news about this month is baby girl has teeth! her first one broke through last week. its her front bottom left tooth, then a few days ago her second tooth came through!! both bottom teeth! soo cute but now when she bites it hurts pretty bad.
 she wont let me take a picture of her cute teeth tho, what a butt

Charlie has had a pretty rough month because of the teething shes mad a lot of the time. thats ok shes still cute

 we went camping last weekend and even though she was mad a lot i think she loved it. she slept better the whole trip then she ever has at home.
She also went to the lake for the first time and she LOVED it shes loves the water :)

NEW HOUSE!!

we finally did it! after a year of looking for houses we've finally moved :)))
we moved a entire block east of where we were before but its 100000000Xs better!
its like 4xs the size of our trailer and here's the best part NO MORE LANDLORDS! its an amazing feeling not having cranky ass people always on your case about any and everything.

I'm loving the new house. and Charlie loves it too there's lots of room for her to play :))
Chewy doesn't like the kitchen floor we put down because its wood and he cant walk across it but its funny to watch him try.

we put new carpet in and new kitchen floor. I love the way it looks :)

pictures later after I FINALLY unpack everything

What?? 5 Months??

Charlie turned 5 months old last week! she is getting so big its crazy!
She still doesn't sleep through the night but she's getting better, she only wakes up once or twice once she finally gets to sleep.
this month Charlie learned to roll over and over and over
she loves to sit up its one of her favorite things she cant do it on her own yet but if you sit her up she'll stay up :)

Look at that smile :)

and those eyes :)

She also loves the mirror!!

4 months!

Charlie turned 4 months last week! I cant believe how fast time is flying by! she is getting so big its crazy!
she weighs: 12 pounds 7 ounces
length: 24 1/4 inches long
Head" 16 3/8 inches

The doctor gave us a new "beauty regiment" for her eczema and cradle cap. she's on a steroid ointment for her eczema and its helping a lot but when you do go without putting it on her when you're suppose to it does come back in spots.

she still cant roll over from her tummy but she can get to her side and get stuck lol
she tries to sit up and use her little tummy muscles but she cant. when shes in her car seat or swing si when you can see her trying to get up because she's already half way there :)

We took Charlie to the zoo for the first time for my moms birthday. I don't know that she enjoyed it lol it was a little to hot for her but she was happy most the day as long as your were holding her.

Ill update the slideshow later but for now here's pictures

3 months gone? really?

I can believe my little Charlie is already 3 months old. well not yet not until Saturday but she turned 12 weeks on Sunday.

I can't believe how much she's grown already and how much more she's going to grow.

She's holding her head up really good now and she smiles all the time. well when shes not screaming lol
Today she was having tummy time and she rolled over :) she was so excited about it. she did it twice when i tried to get her to do it a 3rd time she got mad

She had really bad eczema but its basically gone now my dad gave us some oil to use and its helped a lot.
ever since her vaccinations shes been drooling a lot and that was like a month ago maybe shes getting teeth already. probably not. who knows lol

heres more pictures of my smiley baby

and an updated slideshow
