Another Video

I actually took this on the same day as the other video, but forgot to post it!

Learning to crawl (slowly)

Right now she gets the idea but then flops out and turns into a seal. She then proceeds to kick her little legs. Maybe we should look into swimming classes.

The Zoo!

Here are pictures from our zoo visit. Charlotte had a blast!

Also pictured: Caleb and Lucy - our playdates. :)

whee

No crawling, no teeth, no walking! Although, she's enjoying her walker and trying very hard to be more mobile in regards to crawling. We had a doctor checkup today from the cold she had 2 weeks ago and the news wasn't too good. She'd been raspy and coughing once she was over her initial cold/redness in the ear. The doctor took a look in her ear and it was "dull, red, and has fluid in it". So, she's currently on a stronger antibiotic than the amoxicillin that didn't work last time. She hasn't been cranky or really any fussier than normal due to this flare up, though. Even if she is it's hard to tell if it's from the ear issues, or from teething. :)

Tomorrow we're heading to the Indianapolis Zoo with some friends for a play date so that should be fun! I'm sure we'll have some pictures to share. Until then here's a picture of Charlotte enjoying some bath toys from Nana:

Moral of the story: babies don't really need toys.

playdate

We had a playdate yesterday with Caleb and Mary Jaracz. This is the first time they've been able to really interact with one another!



It's really hard to get babies uninterested in the ground and interested in a camera. Most of the shots turned out like this:


Caleb apparently poses like this from time to time, it's cute!


"What, huh?"


Our first time in a park swing..


.. success!
