Just looking back I am not sure any of us could really imagine life with Charlotte. Here's Addy measuring my tummy.
And here she is . . . what a doll. She was the such an easy baby.
Charlotte was always up for adventure . . . even from an early age!
And she's perfected the "look".
And she's always done really well at making messes.
Its funny because at times Addy feels like Charlotte doesn't like her. But she doesn't realize just how much Charlotte loves her and looks up to her. She imitates her, follows her, asks about her, and although she likes to take things from Addy and hit her sometimes, she really wants to be just like her!
Charlotte is always moving - seriously. ALWAYS. For example, this is how she "watches" TV. Can't recall how she ended up without her shirt, but she is always moving or climbing somewhere.
Charlotte doesn't walk very often. Going between one room to another its at a run. She rarely says anything quietly - she normally shouts everything. Sometimes joyfully and sometimes with major attitude.
I love this next series of pictures, it captures my baby in motion.
A short pause to check out Addy's Scooby Doo door hanger.
But not for long! Charlotte loves to jump, dance, run, walk fast, play, throw things and chase. Charlotte is growing taller and has remained much thinner as a toddler then her sister. Some of Addy's clothes just don't fit her yet. (By the way, check out the adorable print on that shirt above. By far my most favorite clothing Charlie has - so sweet!)
This is Charlotte's pure joy face. Most often seen when she is running wild. Or when she gets a playdate with Grandma and Grandpa. A couple of her most favorite things right now.
Charlotte is full of adventurous spirit and fun. She loves Dora and Little Einsteins. She's not gotten into coloring, but loves puzzles and playing with balls. Everyone that runs into Charlotte ends up laughing because she is a big personality. She can sing her ABC's, identify some letters and her numbers. and has the arm of a pitcher on her.
Our little Charlie girl is growing up right before our eyes. She is the apple of her sister's eye and makes us on laugh and sigh on a daily basis.
