Army Crawls, No sleep, and Other Baby News

Dear Charlotte,

You have been army crawling for a while now. It is absolutely hilarious and you love every moment of your freedom! We have to gate the top of the stairs because you are very much bent on trying to fling yourself down them. You also like to crawl up and down the hallway. You could do it all day if I let you and if your sweet little knees could handle it!

You also had food for the first time and very loudly told us that you did not like it. Ha! You don't like "baby" food but will eat all kinds of "big kid" food like chicken, toast, eggs, oatmeal, rice crispies. It is fun but kind of scary to watch you eat so many big things! Here is the video of your first taste of food. It cracks me up every single time!

You don't like to sleep which has been a problem since you were born. In the hospital you would just stare at me all wide eyed and not sleepy. The nurses thought it was strange, I thought it was strange, and you have carried on with the no sleeping into your eight months with us. Now it is accompanied by screams and thrashing around. Hooray. I would very much like for you to sleep. It is just a little hint.

We took you on an airplane for the first time in June. You went to Las Vegas! You, just like mommy, did not care for it. What can I say, the loud casinos and hot dry heat are not our thing. Oh well, we survived and you slept the whole time no the plane so it was wonderful! People thought you were the sweetest little thing!

First Airplane Ride!

Baby at the Tropicana Hotel

All of these fun adventures happened between May and June! It was a very busy time for you and you grew and changed so much! We were excited to take you on your first plane ride, to feed you some super yummy (though you didn't believe us) food, and to watch you learn to crawl. There is no stopping you now!

Love you!
Mommy
