Resting on Sunday

A lazy Sunday over here today.  We ventured to Costco and then putzed around outside.  It was warm-ish (like 50F) so it was nice to not need 100 layers, but still kind of chilly.  I even opened some windows this morning just to get some fresh air into the house.  





Suburban Dad:  watering grass seed on a Sunday morning
"GET OFF MY YARD!"




We enjoyed our raspberry plants so much last year that we decided to add a blueberry bush!


Caught her red-handed as she watered our planter... with bubbles.









Having a conversation with the bird.  Poor bird was trying to get back to her nest.

She dropped her Shopkin off on the rock and then walked away.


The nest.  It drives me crazy, but it's nice at the same time.

Nana and Papa stopped by on their way home from the cabin & Charlotte fought her nap before their arrival.  She finally crashed around 3:30pm.  Needless to say, it's going to be a fun evening.  We're expecting rain, rain, and more rain in the coming days so we wanted to seize our opportunity to be outside.  Laundry is almost done, dinner should be relatively easy... I don't have to work until 9:30 tomorrow... all things considered, I should be relaxed & ready to go come Monday morning!  I just need to get some decent sleep.  Porch and Charlie are upstairs napping but I know myself well enough to know that if I nap, I'm going to feel worse.  I'm terrible with napping.  I say "Oh, I'll just do that 20 minute power nap thing," but when my alarm goes off in 20 minutes, I hit snooze and then sleep for 6 hours.  It's ugly.  I'll just putz around and read my book and enjoy that it's 4:15 on a Sunday and I have nothing to do.

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 ...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth.

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?
