Mealtimes just keep getting messier around here. Charlotte really likes to stir things lately, though drinking out of the bowl is something new. The knocking at the end was the pizza delivery guy. PIzza is one of Charlotte’s favorite foods, especially when it has olives on it.
Charlotte is very interested in all things related to cleaning. Every night after dinner, she walks over to the dustbuster and points and grunts until we clean up around her chair. She also picks up things from the floor and puts them in the trash–and then sometimes takes them back out. This was the first time she actually got her hands on the mop.
You can sort of see in this picture that Charlotte’s hair is starting to grow a little.
Charlotte really likes to drink out of my water glass. She is finally drinking some milk–soy milk–but only out of a regular cup, not a sippy cup (we got her some small plastic glasses after she broke a few of ours). The doctor recommended that we put Carnation Instant Breakfast in Charlotte’s soy milk to help fatten her up, and she loves the chocolate flavor.
Charlotte likes her jingly new toy apple, which is part of a little toy grocery bag.
Charlotte has been enjoying her books lately, both pulling them off the shelves and sitting down to look at them. She really likes this photo album we put together. She got her bunny slippers for Christmas, and they are nice in this really cold weather.
We made the mistake of leaving the cereal box with Charlotte for a minute on Christmas morning.
We had a fun Christmas with Charlotte. She opened lots of presents and seems to be enjoying her new toys.
Charlotte is 1 today! We had a busy day doing last-minute Christmas errands and going for a walk.
We put a candle in Charlotte’s toast this morning:
Later we had presents and dinner with her Nana and Papa.
Charlotte loves her new wagon from my Nana and Papa:
And she loved her first cake. We got her a maple cake with maple frosting. She ate an entire piece and made a giant mess.
