How Time Flies

Charlotte is almost 6 months old. Can you believe it!? I was loking at old pictures on my phone. Here is a sample.

Baby Einstein

Charlotte's latest skill. She does it three to five times a day.

Spurs Rule

Even if her name is is Charlotte, you won't find any Bobcats fans in this house.  Meet the newest member of the Spurs bandwagon.  Once you're on, you never get off, as we all know the Spurs have the most loyal fans in the league.  I am proud see my daughter a Spurs fan at such a young age and Emily couldn't be happier to see Charlotte's favorite member of the team is its mascot.

And for fun at the end you can watch Charlotte watch herself on the laptop.  On tap for tomorrow: show Charlotte her first M.C. Escher drawing.

Red Riding Hood

5 Months

Charlotte is 5 months old today.  She weighs 13 pounds, 6 ounces and is almost 23 1/2 inches long. Her newest thing is grabbing stuff with her hands.  It's really fun to watch.  She grabs the toys hanging over her activity mat and brings her blanket up to mouth to chew on it.  So cute.
