Charlotte is 8 months old!

Happy New Year!  Hope you all enjoyed the holidays with loved ones.  We had a wonderful Christmas.  It was even better this year with two kiddos.  Lizzie was over the moon about all the Christmas festivities and Charlotte totally picked up on that energy.  It was so much fun to watch it all unfold!  

The past few weeks have been very eventful for our sweet little munchkin.  Just in time for Christmas, Charlotte got her first two teeth.  She let us know they were coming a few days before with some fussiness, but since those pearly whites appeared, she’s been excited to show them off.

Charlotte’s also officially on the move now!  She’s been crawling a little over a week and is quickly becoming a pro.  She’s pretty speedy already, so the babyproofing is a must now.  Along with the crawling, Charlotte’s getting quite good at pulling herself up to standing.  You can tell by her big grin that she’s so proud of herself when she does it.  So cute!

And, along with all these milestones, Char’s been sleeping through the night for the past six nights in a row (but who’s counting, right????)  No dream feeds from me either – just sleeping like a champ through the night.  I’m sooooo proud of her, and sooooo happy to get continuous sleep.  I almost feel rested…almost!  Fingers crossed that this trend continues. 😉

Look at this smiley girl!

Cute pic, but where’s Lizzie?  She wanted nothing to do with Santa in-person, but Charlotte was all in.  Maybe next year I’ll get them both in the photo.
Auntie Ker spent the holidays with us and it was the best!

What do you do after Christmas in Florida?  Go swimming, of course!

Check out the new teeth!
