8 months and SUCCESS!

I am happy to report our sweet little baby is now sleeping through the night!!! It's been 1 week and we got 6 out of the 7 nights, 6:30-6:30/7! Finally! On the other hand, Charlotte is now walking up with nightmares. Oh the joys of parenting! I figure I will be able to sleep again in like 10 years!!

Charlotte had her friends Gregory and William over to play. They had so much fun playing together!

New House!

Long time away!

Our computer was being serviced,so we were not able to download pictures, plus we have been quite busy with our move. We have now moved into our new house completely, feeling settled and absolutely loving it. We are so happy with our decision and even more happy the other houses we had pending fell through, everything really does happen for a reason. Charlotte has adjusted fabulously, like she has lived here forever, and she is loving her pink room!

We were in Maine a few weekends ago for Cory's brother's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding, but unfortunately Charlotte ended up with an ear infection the first day, so it was a rough weekend for us.

We have had lots of playdates and lots of outdoor time this summer. Charlotte is getting really good on her bike and scooter. Grammy and Granpa bought Charlotte a new bike when they came to visit, that she absolutely loves!!! She continues to amaze us with what she comes out with and what a fantastic big sister she is. Catherine is doing well, getting slightly better at night. We have let her cry it out and we are hopefully ending our one feeding this week! She goes until almost 4am, so we should be able to get her to push it out a bit more. She is still the sweetest little baby and so happy and smiley all the time. She adores her big sis. She loves to watch her. She is getting ready to crawl very soon. She gets so frustrated because she is not quite there. She is also very excited because she has a new friend of her own in our little association. Gabby who is 4 months old!

I will try to take some pics of our house this weekend. We are almost done with our projects. We have painted, put in new carpeting downstairs, got our new sofa, ordered our dining room table, and granite countertops are being put in next week. We are expanding the deck after labor day. That should be it for a little while!!!

Before and After and Big Girl Underpants!

AFTER!

BEFORE!


Just wanted to post some pics of Catherine's extra digit, before and after surgery! It's healing great! Charlotte is getting ready to potty train, and is super excited about her big girl underpants. I am hoping its not a disaster, but I have a feeling it will be!

6 month stats!

The three amigos!

Catherine loves to swing!

Catherine and her buddy Molly (2 months)

Catherine had her 6 month check up last week, 17lbs 6oz and 26 inches. She is doing great, healthy and such a happy, good natured baby. She is thrilled to have a friend of her own, Molly (Leo's little sis). She isn't a huge fan of baby food, its a struggle to try and get it in her, but she loves cheerios and puffs. And big sis loves feeding them to her. It's definitly getting slightly easier on a day to day basis. Catherine goes to sleep at 5:45pm, so Charlotte gets to spend some alone time with us which is nice. Catherine still getting up once a night to eat, which is fine, its quick. And both kids are sleeping until 6:15/30 which is such a treat!

Charlotte absolutely loves school, she would love to go everyday. When I go to pick her up, "no mommy, go home, I stay at Ms. Tricia's." It's such an incredible program, the kids learn so much and the teachers are wonderful.

Charlotte is pretty inseparable with her twin buddies Maeve and Liam. She adores Liam, Liam wants nothing to do with her, Maeve adores Charlotte and she won't give Maeve the time of day. It's pretty funny. Also, since Liam goes without a shirt, Charlotte thinks its ok for her to as well. She loves the water park and playing in the water. The summer has been a blast so far!

Our little rock star!

Catherine is doing great! She is such a trooper. Totally herself after surgery. And the cast doesn't seem to bother her at all! She gets it off next Wed. Glad this is behind us! Just shy of 6 months and sitting up all by herself!

Good Luck Granpa!

Charlotte and Catherine wanted to wish Granpa good luck on his bike trek through Maine! We will be cheering you on from Boston! GOOOOO Granpa!!
