And Charlotte Makes Three

December 25, 2009 - January 7, 2010

Christmas morning!

Christmas afternoon!

Lyla's birthday party, the day after Christmas!

Christmas celebration in Augusta!

Charlotte has been chewing the heck out of her crib...

Getting ready to help me put away her laundry...

I give her toys to distract her...

But it doesn't work...

Visiting with Lyla and Vivi...

This is kind of what a playdate looks like...

Vivi and her mom...

October 13-November 23, 2009

It's been a while since Charlotte's blog has been updated. Now that she is on the move, there is a little bit less free time!

Charlotte's first annual Mannino-Dickson Halloween Party

A visit with Kat and Bill

Practicing standing

Getting ready to go play

Playing with her new toy

On a playdate at the park, she tried her first puffs - and wasn't so sure about them.

It is hard to get four babies to sit still and look at the camera!

Most of the time when I take her picture now, she crawls towards me so fast it's hard to get a good one...

Still loves her Baby Einstein time before bed

Hot on Murphy's trail

Who needs toys?

Getting ready to go see Santa!

At her first Clemson game!

Playing in the pantry with my dad and Murphy

Charlotte and Murphy are starting to figure things out. She has food. He's hungry. It's a win-win.

September 16 - October 1, 2009

Charlotte hosted her first party. These are some of her friends from Gymboree. Max, the boy in red, is only 3 days older than C...but a whole lot bigger!

Charlotte and Jackson watching a video together...

We took C to the North GA State Fair this past weekend. We fed the elephant...

She finally got to see a pony.

She liked the ponies! Oh, no.

She likes to prop her feet up when she is in her stroller now...

She's still a little young for rides, and Kirk won't ride anything that is goes really, really fast and is only temporarily set up. So they watched while I rode a few of the rides.

Charlotte got her first cold so we've hung around the house this week.

She's also decided that she wants to grab the camera anytime I try to take her picture.

Showing off her first pair of shoes and her first bow!

August 31 - September 9, 2009

I love this face because she's totally giving me the stink eye. I can't wait until she's 13, ha!

Trying to crawl...with no luck...

Charlotte and Maggie love to sit in bed and love on each other. Maggie is the only pet that loves Charlotte.

Thanks, Kate, for taking this picture of us!

Charlotte will always pull for Clemson (if she wants us to pay her college tuition ;) ), even when they lose...

She got so excited watching football that I couldn't get her to hold still!

First time riding in the cart like a big girl! (Sorry for the quality, we took it with a phone.)

Hanging out with Aunt Tasha...

And wearing the onesie that Aunt Kate gave her for Christmas last year...

August 10-25, 2009

Charlotte has been busy these days!

She sleeps...

Gets spoiled rotten with new toys...

Practices sitting up...

Enjoyed her first viewing of "Garfield The Movie"...

Hangs out in her glider...

Practiced sitting up some more while looking at books...

Spends time with her grandparents...

Hangs out in her exersaucer on the porch...

Helps fold laundry...

And plays with the bear toy...

Charlotte's 3rd time in the pool was more of a success. Gymbo the puppet was there to keep her happy, and the floaty thing to sit in made her feel more secure. She still wasn't happy about it, but she didn't cry. Much.
