Crawling race in NY with Gavin

Gavin with the ladies (Charlotte and Grace)

Finally after almost 10 months Charlotte got her 2 bottom teeth!!! They are not fully grown in, but here they are! Very exciting stuff at the Perry house!

We had a great weekend in NY last week visiting three of my Fairfield friends, Dawn, Allison and Amy. Dawn, Shaun and Gavin were kind enough to babysit for us on Friday night so we could go out for an 'adult' dinner with Amy. We headed to see Allison on Sat morning after Charlotte woke up. We got to spend a few hours with her and her children, Samantha and Jaden, which was nice since we had never met Jaden and Alison hadn't met Charlotte yet. It was a nice treat!! Saturday night Dawn and Shaun's friends came over with their new baby Grace and we had a great night hanging out! It always lightens our spirit to spend a weekend with the McHugh's! Their love of life is infectious and we always leave their place wishing we could spend more time with them.

We are local this weekend which is nice. Having friends over for dinner and relaxing, it's nice not having to travel for a change!!!

Westfield weekend

Ruby and Charlotte playing

Charlotte, Mommy and Jacob on Thomas the Train



Bob the Builder and the Chicken

Wine playdate! Drew, Lizzie, Jacob, Charlotte and Drew

Charlotte and I headed to Nana's on Thursday. She had Jacob since Tom was away. We had a busy weekend as usual running around trying to see everyone, but it was fun. I had a wine playdate on Friday night with my highschool friends Missy and Stacy. I think wine playdates should happen more often!! We had a blast!
Nana took us all to see Thomas the Train in Essex, Ct on Sat. Jacob loves Thomas so she thought it would be fun for him. He enjoyed it, but I think he might have been a bit too young, but it was an experience and a day we will all remember!!!

9 months!!

Charlotte was 9 months on Monday, and had her appt today. She weighed in at 21.6 pounds and is 29 inches long. She is doing great! Crawling all over the place, pulling herself up and walking around the ottoman and from toy to toy. We are hoping she doesn't walk for a bit, our place is not easy to baby proof!!! AND the spitting up is almost all gone!! Yeah!

Charlotte had a playdate with her friend Charlie as well, they are so cute together, although Charlotte is a bit of a bully, taking anything he has away from him. She's the boss!

Happy Halloween!!!

Sam, Will and Charlotte
Sam, Will, Charlotte and Leo

Our little chicken woke up on Halloween with a bit of a fever and not herself. We closed on our condo and she was a superstar. We got home and things got a little worse, fever persisted and she was not a happy camper. So we took her to the dr and she had a 103 fever and the start of an ear infection. Our poor Charlotte was miserable, we had never seen her so distraught and upset. It was horrible to watch her like that. BUT, we gave her antiobiotics and she had a great nap and woke up as happy as can be and her old self, fever was gone. It was a GORGEOUS day, so we decided to go to our Halloween party. We went to my friend Andria's house on Beacon Hill and hung out for a while and had dinner and then we proceeded to walk around the Hill. They shut down the streets and a lot of the places do a great job decorating, so its really quite a scene. Charlotte was so great and had so much fun with her friends. Two of our other friends from our mommy and me class were there as well, so it was great to see them! We didn't get great picstures, since they don't really like to cooperate anymore, but it was so fun to watch them interact together. Charlotte as usual was the only girl!
