Charlotte and I went to Dallas for an entire week for Kappa Phi at the end of June. Charlotte's Nana (my mom) came and stayed with us; I think they both felt spoiled! Unfortunately, I was so busy, I don't have a single picture of us there! It was a hot week, highs around a hundred the whole time. Her face would get red just going from the dorm to the cafeteria, and it really wasn't that far. She did great, getting passed around to anyone that would hold her. The last night there, she decided she was done being a good girl, and she melted down. It took some Tylenol and about 3 hours of distress before she finally passed out for the night.
Charlotte celebrated her first Fourth of July this month... by going to bed early! We didn't attemp any fireworks this year. We didn't want to get out then have to battle 45 minutes of traffic to get home, especially if she was unhappy! We were just back from Dallas, so we were both happy for a little extra sleep.
She is still not sleeping through the night, but we started solids tonight: rice cereal. Not sure she likes it yet! Hopefully that will help. We went to the peditrician's today. Miss C is 14lbs, 5.5oz (putting her in the 68th percentile for her age) and 25in (79th%).
Scott and I are really enjoying her now. She's laughed only 3 times, but she smiles daily, and it's the best feeling in the world.
Here are some pictures from this past month:
This is a tiny rocking chair from my mom's church. They were going to throw it out and my mom grabbed it for Charlotte! She can't really sit up yet. Scott was sitting right in front of her in case he needed to catch her!

She looks just like Scott! Can you see that? People tell me that Aaron looks like Jory and I can't see it. We started Rice Cereal, too. Of course, our chunk likes it! It has helped with his sleeping, so good luck!
Yep, a former coworker calls her Scottina!! :)
She is liking it better now. Thank goodness!
We love the photos! And from what I have seen and heard the first couple attempts at cereal are generally pretty hard on the parents. I hope the cereal helps. How are YOU feeling?
Hey you! I saw your comment on my blog - thank you for keeping up with us! The height-weight growth charts are different for boys and girls. Boys are supposed to be bigger!
Sara - I didn't think of that!
