I got Charlotte a jumperoo a few weeks ago. My mom put it together when she was here last week and it was absolutely hilarious watching Charlotte when she first saw it. It must have been the baby equivalent of winning the lottery. Her feet don’t reach the floor when she is in it, so we have to put a pillow or something underneath for her to stand on. The novelty has worn off a little bit but she still just looks amazed when she hits something and it makes a noise.

The weather is very slowly getting nicer around here. This past weekend we took a few nice walks in the Arboretum. Charlotte hates her car seat so we have been putting her in the Bob jogging stroller without the car seat. She’s still probably a little too small for it but with some bundling it works fine. There were a few tulips and crocuses popping up on our way to and from the Arboretum.
In just the past few days Charlotte has started really holding on to her toys and pulling them toward her mouth.

Charlotte enjoyed her first St. Patrick’s Day in a cute new green shirt. She passed out after partying too hard at the cardiologist:
Everything looked pretty similar to last time–no big changes in her heart murmur, so we’ll go back for another check when she is 6 months old. Charlotte was very sociable and didn’t fuss at all through the visit, even when they pulled the EKG stickers off her skin. We were very impressed.
Brian has taken charge of Charlotte’s cultural education:
She’s a very squirmy little girl these days, and she’s been drooling up a storm too. This is my last week of maternity leave so I’m trying to enjoy my quality time with Charlotte. Today we went for a nice walk in the Arboretum with my friend Melissa, and went to the sushi place in Roslindale for lunch.
Bedtime hasn’t been so pleasant lately–Charlotte just does not like going to sleep. We moved her from the bassinet in our room to her crib a few weeks ago, and ever since she hasn’t been sleeping as long as she was in our room. We’re hoping she will start doing 6- and 7-hour stretches in her room soon.

We finally caught some of Charlotte’s smiles on camera. This week she rolled over from her stomach to her back, which was very exciting. Of course she did it on the only night I have been out without her since she was born! But Brian got to witness it and she has demonstrated a few more times for me.
It was cold and snowy earlier this week and we bundled up for a walk:
And then today and yesterday it has been beautiful, in the high 50s, so we spent a little time on the front steps in the sun today.
We got this little chair for her to practice sitting up.
