My darling Charlotte is quickly approaching 5 months old!! It feels like time has both crawled along and flown by. It's nice to have change in seasons to help mark the passing of time....like summer ending and fall beginning also gives our family a new beginning. If we were a business this would be a new quarter! lol Things are getting better overall. Yes, we still have poop issues (we are currently on day 5 with no poop) but Charlotte seems more manageable with her fussiness. She is a smiley girl.....seriously smiles all the time, but she can go from a huge smile to a huge grimace in mere seconds and then back to a smile again just as quickly. She is starting to laugh a lot more which is so freakin' adorable!! She is still nursing, but she also gets a bottle of formula each night before bed. She goes down to sleep for both naps and bedtime with such ease; I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and for her to start protesting.....keeping fingers crossed! Other than having to put the paci back in a couple times a night, she sleeps from 7:00 pm until 6:00 am. We went through the same paci issues with Maddie, and once she is able to grab the paci and put it in her mouth herself, that nighttime task ends.....usually around 7 or 8 months. She is starting to sit up on her own, but she usually ends up folded in half.....which is what Maddie did as well until she got better back strength. She is also really into her feet. She discovered them about a week ago and now she can't get enough of them.....she hasn't started putting them in her mouth yet, but I'm sure that will be the next step! We started her on apples, but stopped because she broke out in a rash and I wasn't sure if it was from the apples or because she is TEETHING!!!! Yoikes.....here we go again! I swear teething is some form of punishment/torture for parents. We'll get through it, but man.....can't kids teethe when they are like 5? lol I’m excited because my mom and dad are coming to visit and arriving tomorrow. They are staying for a few days and they haven't seen Charlotte since she was 5 weeks old. They're gonna be shocked at how big she is and how heavy she is and how darn cute she is. And she is all of those things and more. My little cutie pie!

What a beautiful little girl! You know, if things don't work out with Dec and Abigail..... :) Reading this post was almost like reading Declan's progress too. They are so close together with things, the feet facsination, the sitting up, the teething.....yeah, not fun! Oh, I hope you can come out in March, that would be a lot of fun!!
(ps. I like the pictures on what looks like the pillow top of your mattress.....don't be surprised if you see some of Dec like that in the near future! :)
