Charli's new chair!

Mommy bought this little chair to help Charli learn to sit up. It really works great and Charli feels like such a big girl when she's in it!

Charli gets to sit on the couch and play with her toy all by herself (well sort of, mommy is always hovering)
"Hmmm, how can I get this thing in my mouth?"

"Mommy, you still taking pictures?"

"ok, one more..."

Daddy time

Here we see Daddy and Charli just hanging out watching some American Idol together. I think she's pulling for the rocker guy, David Cook

Daddy likes the country girl Kristy Lee Cook.

"I don't know Daddy, I think she's a little pitchy"

"All right, here comes David.."

Easter Sunday

Grandma Susu and Grampy Warren sent Charli a cute little Easter dress which you will see modeled below. Easter Sunday we went to Grandma Sue's in Redwood City and had an Easter egg hunt in addition to a fabulous lamb and salmon dinner!

All in a day's work...

Daddy and Charli getting some work done.....

Oh bunny!

Charli received a cute little easter bunny from Grandma Susu and grampy Warren. As you can see Charli loves it.......

Grandpa Beep and Grandma Sassy visit

Grandpa Beep and Sassy were here visiting this week. We had lots of fun talking, eating, exploring Monterey and Carmel, but most of all playing with Charli!

Getting a good look at Grandpa Beep

"Hey mommy, this guy is pretty fun!"

Ahh....grandparents are the greatest!

Hangin with Sassy before heading out to Carmel.

Saying good-bye over breakfast

Thanks for a great visit Grandpa Beep and Grandma Sassy!

Week 12

I think is our first family photo!

Below are just some photos of Charli's 12th week. She's growing and changing so fast. Every morning it seems she's doing something new or making new sounds. We are having such fun with her!

Here's Daddy and Charli hanging out on the couch practicing sitting up.

It's hard to get a photo without fingers in the mouth these days......

Charli modeling a new hair bow!

ok, is this Charli or a picture of Mac as a baby?

Thanks Auntie Katy for the cool little shoes!

Hmmmmm, Do these belong to me?!?!

The Hornicks visit!

Good friends Mike and Amy from Chico came by for a visit this weekend. It was so fun to catch up and introduce them to Charli!

Charli and Amy getting to know each other

Mike looks like a natural!

oops, I think it's time for lunch

Mommy and Charli

Ahhh.....just the girls, Charli thinks Amy's funny!

Charli rolled over!!!!

Charli was never a big fan of tummy time, in fact she hated it! Mommy would force it for just a few moments each morning. Well Charli has finally had enough and instead of crying and complaining just rolled herself on to her back. What a big girl she is! Mommy and Daddy are so proud!

Charli clearly unhappy with her current situation

She's evaluating options and planning her big move

"If I can just get this belly over a little further....."

"Almost there........"

" Ahhhh.......so much better! How'd I do Mommy?"

ouch!

I guess Charli's already started teething. She's definately showing the signs. She (and I) are drenched by 8:00AM and she can't keep those fingers out of her mouth, the more the better!!

Daddy's hair

As you can see from the photo's Charli looks more and more like her Daddy every day, especially fresh from the bath. They definately have the same hairstyle!
