We're still here!

Hi world! I know I have been absent for a while. We have just been busy, busy with working, playing, and getting into a routine. Charlotte is almost 5 months old now. I can hardly believe it. She has been doing great at the babysitter's each day. Mark and I really enjoy spending the evenings playing with our little girl. And, of course, we very much cherish our weekends. We are headed into a 3-day weekend! Yay! Charlotte has been growing and changing. It seems like every day she does something new. She has been really into playing with her toys. She reaches for them a lot and usually figures out how to push the buttons on different toys. Her she is with her keys.

She spends a lot of the mornings before work in our room while we get ready. Here she is one morning hanging out on our bed. Click on the picture to get a better picture of her drool!

She has also become very aware of Oreo. Here they are having a staring contest. Every time she is in the room with him she smiles at him and follows him with her eyes. If he gets close enough, she reaches out for him.

She has been sleeping better. She didn't do great last night, but the previous 5 nights she only woke up once to eat and slept soundly after that until the morning. This is how I usually find her anytime she wakes up. She gets out of her swaddle, rolls over, and then is upset because she doesn't like to be on her stomach. There was one morning this week that I went to wake her up and she was on her stomach sound asleep with her arms up by her face. It was so adorable! I had to call Mark into the room to see her sweetness :)

We borrowed a jumparoo from our friends Justin and Allison. We set it up for the first time last night. We have to put a pillow under her feet because she is a little too short. But, she loved it! Yay for a new toy!
