Just a typical week with Charlotte.  🙂

Tried some organic rice cereal with the boy last night.

He wasn’t too sure about it. What he didn’t swallowed dribbled down his chin.

Here is a Charlotte Original.

I have her a crayon last night while I changed Lysander. ..I heard a strange sound on the wall and found this

Part of me wants to cut the sheet rock out and frame it because she is so creative.  The other wants to throw away all the crayons hahaha

So, as you may have noticed but have been way too kind to mention, Zander had a strange tilt to his head due to his position during my pregnancy. It’s called torticullis. There are a few therapies for it, as well as a neck brace, and chiropractic seemed the best fit as I’m well aware of the benefits myself.

Here are some recent pictures where you can see the tilt:

Some pictures from his adjustment

look how straight his head is positioned! 

He woke up this morning a completely happy baby. No strained sounds trying to push himself up, just happy coos and babbles.

While charlotte was napping,  I was trying to think of things to do with her on this Memorial Day. The sensory bottle was a hit so I ventured into rice play.

Simple concept, big fun. Find a box, fill it with raw rice and some scooping toys and let the kid have at it.

I never felt such immediate regret as the moment when she discovered that not only could her chubby little hands scoop the rice….but also hurl it across the room.

Of course, I was distracted by taking pictures and video…so I thought I’d move her to the high chair with the rice.

I spread the rice all over the tray, gave her the toys…the toys hit the floor immediately and she then …well…you’ll see.

She let out the biggest laugh/squeal as I stopped filming due to the waterfall of rice hitting  the floor and bounce off of Otis.

She had fun so it wasn’t so bad after all.

Charlotte is doing her best impression of me not being able to take on the world until I’ve had my coffee.

Lysander is happy enough in the morning for both of us.

Found the idea on pinterest!!
