Eight Months...

Charlie turned eight months a several days ago. She's our little beam of sunshine from the moment she wakes up. She's our social butterfly making everyone "oooh and ahh" over her cuteness and bashful smile wherever we go. Always happy with a TINY temper when she doesn't get everything she wants.

She's taken a fascination with hair. Mainly just pulling it right out of your head...poor Sophie. She's still trying so hard to open her hands to clap but can do the motion with fists. Loves music and her My First Madame Alexander doll [Thank you Nanny]. She even pats her baby when you tell her "Aww baby". [so cute]

She's eating SOLID foods! So far just rice cereal and oatmeal...go figure. She eats one of the two in her bottle everyday but at least she's getting the hang of a spoon. And rice COOKIES! Loving cookies. Not sure her weight but we know FOR SURE she's growing, little tank. She's a supported stander and LOVES her Daddy. Total. Daddy's. Girl.

So...eight months in a nutshell. Sheesh...wait, eight months, already. [sigh] Love, love, love.

Happy Easter!!!...

Easter Sunday...what fun! The girls woke this morning to Easter Bunny tracks and jellybean droppings. The bunny left a bucket with a single Easter egg in it on the breakfast table. Sophie opened the egg to find a picture clue and candy. [Each egg had candy and a printed picture as a clue to find the next egg.] Once she figured out where each picture item was located in the house she'd say "Come on guys!" and take us to the next egg. Super cute!!

[Jellybean trail...]



Charlie was moreso along for the ride not really knowing what the heck was going on. She thought Sophie was pretty funny running around finding all the hidden eggs and guessing the clues. She just wanted to play [or chew on] the plastic eggs.



In the end, of course, the clues lead to their Easter buckets.



We went to church and had lunch with my family. Then, ran over to Pa and Ram's to show off our Easter outfits. Very relaxing day. Hope everyone had a great day as well.


[Only picture I got (on my phone) of the girls in their Easter gear...]

And here are the sock bunnies I made them this year. They were supposed to go in their buckets too but someone woke from her nap early and caught me making them. So, needless to say, they received their bunnies a few days early.





Happy Easter!!

Love, love, love.
