October

In the last few months Charlotte has come a long way. In addition to growing and learning to sit on her own, she has learned how to stand up. It won't be long before she starts walking on her own.

Charlotte loves her Mickey Mouse pajamas. She rarely wears them because she prefers to carry them around with her everywhere she goes.

Charlotte dressed as Tinker Bell for Halloween. This picture is a little out of order. Many more pictures of that below.

Before Halloween, we tried to get Charlotte into the spirit by picking out some pumpkins. She was not a huge fan at first, but quickly calmed down and had fun.

Excited.

This is a funny expression.

More standing and trying to get to things she's not supposed to play with.

Nice pose.

Being silly at meal time.

Many more pictures of Charlotte in her Tinker Bell costume for her first Halloween.

Nice picture with her Nonna.

There was trick-or-treating set up on the walking path around one of the ponds in our neighborhood, so we paraded Charlotte around for a little bit.

Trip Up North 2

I finally got around to adding the rest of the pictures from our trip up north. They are in no particular order.

This first picture is actually not from up north, but our dining room at home. I just felt like adding this picture anyway.


Here is the beginning of our trip at the airport in Houston. This is an important part of the trip because it was Charlotte's first time flying.

Taking a picture with Mommy at the gate.

Asleep on the plane before take off.

Sitting up like a big girl in Daddy's seat.

Playing with her cousin Lucia in Connecticut.

Here are our attempts at getting a group picture of the cousins. As expected, we had mixed results.

Chilling out on the couch in Connecticut.

Happy baby.

While in New Hampshire, we were able to see some friends we hadn't seen in almost a year. At our friends Heather and John's house, Charlotte was able to go in a swing for the first time. . . and she loved it.

Nice picture of Emma, Heather and Charlotte.

Continuing with more firsts for Charlotte, she was able to meet her Great Memere.

We were able to take a short trip down to Dartmouth, MA to Sarah's grandparents' house so Charlotte could meet some more great aunts and uncles for the first time.

Here Charlotte is with her Great Aunt Lynn.

Her Great Uncle Alec.

Charlotte was also able to meet her Great Aunt Debbie and Great Uncle Noel, as well as Sarah's cousin Peter.

Playing with Aunt Debbie's hair.
