Baby Snuggles & Girl Night

Dear Charlotte,

Yesterday we cuddled on the couch and it occurred to me that you will one day grow up and not want to cuddle. You are a little cuddle bug and love to fall asleep in the crook of my arm. You snuggle right up and then you are gone to dream land. I love it so much and I hope that this phase lasts longer with you than it did with your sister.

Yesterday was also your very first Cooking Club with my girlfriends. I hosted at our house because I wasn't sure how you would do with having to be up later than normal. I sat you in the car seat in the kitchen so you could see us and you sat there for two hours smiling and kicking your feet happy as can be! It was like you knew it was a Girl's Night and you were enjoying the entire experience. You are just the happiest little baby and everyone kept commenting on how sweet and calm you were the entire time!

I'm so happy that you are happy!

Love you!
Mommy

Two Months!

Dear Charlotte,

You are two months old now and I have to say you are wonderful! We started out a little rocky, you were new here after all, but now we are rocking this whole Mommy-Charlotte thing. We nurse like a champ and are sleeping wonderfully at night. Sure you have your ups and downs and you really hate when I have to stop cuddling you to do other things...like feed myself...but other than that you are doing so good.

You can lift your head almost 90 degrees off the floor when we do tummy time, you smile a lot, especially when you are on the changing table. It is so much fun watching you grow and change and make little baby noises.

You are still getting used to your sister. I have a feeling this will be a life-long challenge for you because she is loud and rambunctious and so in love with you that she attacks you. She loves giving you kisses and hugs and she especially loves to do them when you are sound asleep. Did I mention you hate to be woken up? Yeah, not the best combo!

Needless to say you are a sweet and very patient little girl and I am falling more and more in love with you everyday.

Love you,
Mommy
