The Hard-to-get-a-degree's: Update 9-12 Weeks

Charlotte weighs 12 pounds 12 ounces now. She is just growing and growing. She is now in size 2 diapers and is wearing 3-6 month clothing. She is actually almost too tall for her 3 month footsie pjs. She can hold her head up pretty well. Currently, she is trying to roll over and loves to scoot around on her back. Her best friend is who I call Mirror Baby—she loves to chat with Mirror Baby. She has also started laughing—mostly when her daddy “gets” her neck. She is crazy about her daddy. Mommy still is the best at soothing and cuddling when she is fussy, but no one gets her to smile like Daddy.

Every night we read Lottie a bed time story. When Chris reads Doggies, he does such a great job with the different barks that the dogs bark at him. We have a little video of it below. I only caught one bark from Winnie, but we thought the video was cute anyways. It looks like Winnie listens to the rest of the book and then looks exasperated when Chris does the cat noise at the end.

Chris put the boppy on his head and told Lottie he was a lion.

This is how he looked when I told him he actually looks like a flower.

Play time--it is fun to compare it to a video at 1 month old of her playing on her play gym.

She has so much more muscle control.

One morning I found Lottie like this. Almost every night she scoots to the end of her crib, but this was a first.

Sometimes Lottie and I lay like this and talk and play. Lottie likes to grab my hair and then turn and talk into my ear. We have very important Mommy-Daughter secrets.
