Charly as a newborn
She was really annoyed at being woken up!
But easily fell asleep again
I love this tiny smile!
This Christmas picture is SO Lizzy, so funny and crazy.
Charly looks like she's offering to fight in this one
Playing in the leaves at Grandma's house
Charly was enjoying a good book
And a good carrot!
Charly is getting to be pretty mobile. As I've uploaded these pictures and typed the small amount of text, she's moved from right by me to the edge of the rug (we're right in front of the TV, on the rug you can see in carrot picture right above this paragraph), turned herself in the opposite direction, and rolled a few times. She mainly accomplishes her movement through scooting and rolling. We've tried to get her on her knees to crawl a few times, but she doesn't seem interested.
But, boy, is she ever interested in real people food! She ate some of my bologna sandwich just before we sat down at the computer, and if I drink water in front of her, she demands to be given the last few drops, most of the time not patient enough to wait for me to finish the rest of the glass.
Lizzy Jo is my playmate and companion. Today we made a list of things that each of us wanted to do (Lizzy: put on makeup, splash pad, sing songs, read books, activity book, play kitchen, play dough--Mama: exercise, get groceries, read books, Lizzy does independent play, dishes, sing songs, puzzle), put it on the fridge, and then took turns doing things on each list. We've done most of the items, and I think we're going to give the Activity List a permanent place on our fridge, it's worked so well!
I like the activity list idea, and I'm impressed that you crammed so much stuff into a day! Also that Christmas picture of Lizzie Jo is hysterical.
ReplyDeleteIt helps that most of these activities can be done in 5 minutes or less. We do one fun thing, then do one clean up type thing. This is, of course, on good days when Lizzy Jo and I don't both feel like watching movies all afternoon! Haha!
