8 months old!

I can hardly believe my baby is 8 months old today! Time has just flown by SO fast...

She isn't crawling yet, but she's working on it! She'll get on all fours and rock back and forth. She's rolling like a pro now and she'll roll all around the living room if I let her!

FINALLY ROLLING!!!

Yay! Charlotte FINALLY rolled over! At 7.5 months, she finally did it. I didn't think she'd ever do it! I was getting kind of spoiled because I could just lay her wherever and be somewhat confident that she wouldn't roll off (like the couch, bed, etc). No more, though!! She's finally rolling!!! The sad part about it, though, was she did it while I was on my way to work one night! Sad! Thomas called me and told me and I started crying. I have been trying to get that stinker to roll for MONTHS and Im around her more than anyone, and I don't get to see it! Oh well. Here is a video he got of her just a few mins after she rolled!

7 month pictures

Recently I took Charlotte to get her 7 month pictures taken. They were supposed to be 6 month pictures, but it's only been recently that she was been sitting up by herself really well and I wanted to get some good sitting pictures. We went to Sears and I think they turned out pretty well! Here are a few of my favorites.

We recently got a jumperoo for Charlotte and she just loves it! It took her a few days to get the hang of jumping, but ever since she did, she will just jump jump jump in her jumperoo! Its so cute to see her jump and play with all the toys. She likes to talk to her toys, too. So cute! Charlotte has also started to really teeth. She has been for MONTHS now, but I think we might be seeing a little toofer here soon!

6 months!

We have officially made it to 6 months. Looking back I didnt know if I could survive this far! Baby sure does change everything. Praise God!

Char had her 6 month appointment today. She got some shots (which she did NOT like, I mean, who does like getting shots?) and the doc saw her. She still isn't rolling but the doc said that is fine as long as she is rolling by 9 months. If not, we'll look into some PT. Come on, baby, roll!!!!

Stats.....

16 lb 8 oz
25 1/4 in long
17 in long head

She's a growin'!

splish splash!

Today Charlotte had her first experience in a pool! She actually did a lot better than I thought she did. She just splashed a little bit and looked around. She didnt cry or anything. I was very proud of her! It seemed that she liked the water, which is very normal for her, she loves bathtime and has never been afraid of water.

First day of solids!

Today was Charlotte's first taste of solids! Well, ok, more like mush, but she loved it! Instead of rice cereal we did oatmeal cereal. She ate it right up, which really surprised me, I thought she wouldn't like it. But I had a taste and it was actually pretty sweet. I tried to wait until 6 months, but I figured 5.5 months was long enough. :)


I made a huge batch of baby food yesterday, it was so much fun! So far I have made sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, peaches, pears, and pumpkin. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and sooo much cheaper than buying the jarred stuff. However, it was pretty messy, you know, making purees and all that. I can't wait to feed everything to her!! (one at a time, of course....)
