She lasted 5 minutes.  It took longer to get to the beach from the car vs the amount of time we actually stayed.

Who says bubble baths are for girls?

Every picture here…think of 1/2 second -5 second time lapse video and you have a window into what it is like with these two.

I put Frozen or Tangled on because I figured I wouldn’t be able to keep her still enough for pictures while in her chair.

Then I decided to move them to the big recliner. I wasn’t going to put him on the chair until I got a few shots of her but she was climbing down before I could take any so on the chair he went.

The pictures are in sequence.  They just don’t. Stop. Moving.

Where to begin.  I swear some days he’s a little angel and then he gives this smirky smile and you’re like. ..aha! there is the rebel.

HIS HAIR.  He’s the blonde version of Johnny Bravo. I’m so tempted to cut it but then we wouldn’t be bombarded with shrieks of amazement from complete strangers on his hair

He’s a hand chewer, lol

He’s really getting into the jumperoo

Every time you look at him, it’s as if he was waiting for you to do so.

Here he is playing on his mat..
Which is Charlotte’s new favorite toy by the way lol

A rare selfie of me and him.

Okay…maybe not so rare lol

Charlotte swam for the first time in my neighbors pool this past weekend.  She really enjoyed herself.  It was amazing. When I pulled her flat she instinctually kicked her legs.  The funniest part was when I took her out of the pool  and it was like she forgot how to walk.

So many discoveries today…she is getting so smart so quickly.  She’s getting into everything and has mastered the weak cry that at first you think something is wrong until a few seconds later you realize she’s just testing out her emotions and seeing how you react.

This morning seems like it was days ago. She was up early which meant she took a mid morning nap…which then meant she was up when I was used to her napping in the afternoon so when she was getting overwhelming,  I decided to grab a box, my whiteboard that I used and some expo markers and put her along with the markers and whiteboard in the box for a bit.

She then decided to see what her legs would look like green.

Then a delivery came. Charlotte was very excited to read all the books from Grampa Charlie

She watched her new favorite TV show, Yo Gabba Gabba,  while made her dinner. She loves a certain part which features a performer named Biz Markie.  Every episode features a celebrity and their talent.  This episode, Biz taught the children how to beat box. Charlotte stops what she is doing and watches for the full minute. There is no interrupting her

After dinner, we went for a walk where she discovered the grass. She had a lot of fun. First, she sat on the edge then when she decided it was safe enough,  she crawled through it.

It was finally time to go to bed. She put up a little bit of a fight but she was soon fast asleep

Perhaps if I didn’t take this picture,  she wouldn’t have woken up and guilted me into taken her into our bed until she fell asleep again.

The end.
