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! :)

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

That time we sold our house.

Porch, Charlotte, and I are excited to share that we are moving!  If you follow us on Facebook, you know that we put our house up for sale on Thursday.  By Saturday afternoon, we had 3 offers on the table and we accepted!  I can't even begin to express our shock, our joy, our excitement, and our nervousness about the months ahead. We put an offer on a house closer to my new job as Charlie attends the center and being closer means that Porch can drop her off on my early shift (6am-3pm) and pick her up on my late shift (9:30-6:30pm) so Charlie isn't spending all of her waking hours in child care.  We're ridiculously excited, yet cautious. The new house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is begging for a series of updates.  There are a number of projects that await us but we're so excited to call this new place home and to make it into something that's truly ours.  A home we can grow into.  A home we can share with our family over the years and create ...
