Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend.

Charlotte is 9 months old already!

Stats
Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile)
Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile)
Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile)
This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy.

Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth.

Charlotte likes...
... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers)
... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room
... those Gerber wheel treat things
... bath time
... blowing raspberries

Charlotte does NOT like...
... being over tired
... still not a fan of Nose Frieda (though if she can chew on it, she hates it less)
... saying goodbye to Mama in the morning at school
... when Mama takes things away from her (like when I don't let her eat paper, because I'm mean like that)

Things to look forward to...
... Planning the birthday party
... We're taking a 4 generation photo this weekend & I'm so excited to have that keepsake
... I can't wait to bring out the water table my parents bought for Charlotte at Christmas-time!
... I can't wait to plop Charlie into the lake up north and see how she reacts!  She loves the bath!

Charlotte is cracking me up on a daily basis and loves to make sure that Porch and I are within eyesight at all times.  Now that she's mobile, she has started to creep towards where ever I am (especially when she's hungry).

This girl.
Couldn't sit still for a minute!!!  Immediately lunged over the side to see what was on the floor.
But then waved goodbye.  ;)

Mother's Day with my itty bitty

    She looks so much like Ryan but when she smiles so big she instantly morphs in to a mini-you. Looking forward to watching the three newest additions to the Kempowski clan grow up together. I hope they'll be good buddies!

      It was so fun to see the girls together at the shower! I'm excited to see them grow up together; having lots of cousins was always fun as a kid! :)

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures!  I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut.  I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel.  Check out the website here  and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way!  Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite.  So I'm not going to.  But you can!  :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive!  I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives.  And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...

I suppose this kid's gonna need somewhere to sleep...

As an avid blog stalker reader, I have been following several stories of other families who have struggled with infertility and am actually just days separated from Liz & her hubby at Wishing on a Snowflak e who adopted embryos and actually had her transfer the same week I did and we both got positive results. I read her blog today and saw the amazing nursery they're putting together for their daughter and I realized something kind of important... Holy shit. This kid is going to need somewhere to sleep.   And we're already almost 14 weeks deep. I suspect it's much like the wedding.  I was never really the girl who dreamed about her wedding day in great detail.  I was too busy hoping to find the right person, the details didn't matter.  I feel like I've been so busy wishing, hoping, praying, stabbing myself with needles, etc to give this some real deep thought.  Remember when we moved in to our apartment and Porch was all like " We could raise some...
