So we've been in our house for almost 2 weeks now & we're settling in pretty well. Every box isn't unpacked yet, but the place is looking more like a home than a tornado zone of boxes. There's actually a few things hanging on the walls now! We went to a Rough Riders game (the Texas Rangers like minor league team or something) with our neighbors. It was a fun night and great to get out of the house and get to know our neighbors.
A Charlotte update:
- Tooth #2 is just about through ~ You can almost see them now when she smiles big
- Well, it's really crawling now! She's been army crawling for awhile, but it can now be labeled a full-on crawl. The baby-proofing has begun! Oh, and she's already started pulling herself up into a standing position on the hearth
- She loves shopping, sitting in the cart looking at everything and smiling at everyone, oh, and screaming sometimes too
- She loves going on walks in her stroller. We try to go as often as we can when it's not so crazy hot
- The splash park is a hit! She's a bit too little for it, but I sit her down in front of a sprinkler thing and she loves it. Her face is covered in water splashes and she gets so excited watching everything.
- Charlotte has figured out that Cali is a wonderful and soft play-toy. She sees the dog from across the room, crawls over to her & starts grabbing her fur. It's so cute because Cali just lets her and seems to like the attention.
- She's started doing this "fake-cough" thing. She coughs, then I look at her and kinda cough, she laughs and does it again - it's hilarious
- Daddy & Charlotte have started reading books before bedtime. It's so cute to watch and Charlotte loves looking at the books, especially the touch-and-feel ones
- We went on a play-date to the Wiggly Play Center (yes, that's The Wiggles). Charlotte met some new friends and loved crawling and climbing all over the place
- She is still liking food! I made a squash and mixed it with rice, carrots and applesauce for 3 yummy meal combos
The excitement of lastnight:
Charlotte shared her bath with a lizard! Granted, a baby one, but a lizard still. I have her tub in the regular tub & water in both...I use the water outside her tub to rinse her off. As I'm filling up my little cup with water, I see something besides a tub toy. Surprisingly I didn't freak out too much. I mean, I kinda like the little buggers, but not in the bathtub with my daughter. So we moved Charlotte's bath to the sink and the little guy stayed there until Doug came home, scooped him up and put him outside. I learned that lizards eat mosquitos, so I decided that we'll befriend lizards from now on.
