My Little Snow Angel

While we were in Michigan for Thanksgiving we were able to introduce you to snow for the first time.  We bundled you and your sister into your pink snowsuits and headed out into the chilly winter wonderland.

You were just as content as could be sitting in the snow.  Part of that may have been the limited mobility in your snowsuit...but you seemed to be enjoying yourself anyway.  Daddy wanted to continue the tradition of capturing the first time touching snow on camera...

You, unlike your sister, where not phased whatsoever by the icy wetness in your hand.  You simply decided that you wanted to taste some.

In fact, you toppled over into the snow and when Daddy went to pick you up, you were trying to get a lick!  Oh Charlotte, we love how different you and your sister are.

Your First Thanksgiving

Even though you weren't able to enjoy the amazing food on this special holiday, you definitely enjoyed the family!  Everyone loved playing with you.  Your second cousins, Lauren and Natalie had so much fun taking care of you, and Mommy appreciated their help!

This Thanksgiving trip was an eye-opener for you, I think, Charlotte.  You were so fascinated with all of the noise and chaos going on around you.  You wanted to jump right in and be a part of it.  You loved watching the three crazy dogs run all around the house.  You even took a head-butt from your cousin in stride!  Oh just wait until you start talking...I have a feeling you're going to steal the show.  You'll have plenty of competition though!

7 Months and Counting

You spent most of your 7-month birthday in the car on the way up to Nonna and Ga's house for Thanksgiving.  You definitely let us know when you got sick of it, but over all, you're a great little traveler!  Here's you when we arrived...I think you were just happy to be able to roll around.  :o)

 You are now sitting on your own without support (although I still put a blanket behind you just in case).  You don't say much yet, but when you do make noise it's nice and loud!  You have the most beautiful gummy smile with not a tooth in sight, but you're drooling and chewing non-stop on anything you can get your hands on.  It is obvious that you love life already and you laugh every chance you get.  It is amazing to watch you become your own little person!

T-K-O

That's right, you are a total knock-out, complete with delicious cheeks and sparkling eyes.  These are your official 6-month photos, and let me tell you, it was tough to limit it to just these.

Just more proof to the world about how incredibly infectious your smile is.  And those eyes!  I could look at those baby blues all day long.
