We’re “entering the head wound stage” (as my mom likes to call it), because Charlotte can walk now! She doesn’t seem extremely interested in walking rather than crawling, but she does it occasionally. She loves walking with her bottle in both hands, and also doing some thigh-burning squats while she’s standing around.
I love the goofy facial expressions this little girl makes, like when she scrunches her face up then puffs through her nose, or when she sticks her tongue out really far (just ask Aunt Jessica about that one)! Charlotte’s main words are still “uh-oh” and “dad,” and she says “bap” for bath. Lately she really despises diaper changes and veggies. She has also been a busy monkey, climbing things whenever she can, and just chillin’ up there for a while.
Charlotte got to move into Chase’s big car seat after she turned one, so Chase got a booster seat! Luckily, it only cost $25 so it wasn’t a big deal. (Notice that Chase had wrapped the seatbelt around the back in this photo, but the car wasn’t moving yet!)
Now when we look in the rearview mirror, it seems like we have “two kids” rather than a kid and a baby! But Charlotte is certainly still a baby. I adore her sweet little face!
We are still pretty sleepless, but we have accepted it for now, and even have a sense of humor about it. Tonight Chase was screaming in bed a little while after he had gone to sleep, and Pace started singing a little song about how we love our kids, and how our kids hate sleep… And we both started cracking up about it! He always makes me laugh!
