One Happy Baby

Last week, Charlotte turned one (month). To celebrate, she started smiling regularly. And she’s been a much more enthusiastic sleeper, which has Ellen and me smiling regularly again, too. A few more photos like this—taken earlier tonight with Grandma English—and she’ll put me on the baby photography map.

We had a nice long walk down the Belmar boardwalk.

Then we relinquished control of Baby Charlie and watched several hours of rhythmic gymnastics.

Aunt Karen and Grandma Helen just returned from China. I hear Karen has some hilarious pictures of Chinese signage. We need to get permission to post those here. Stay tuned.

The sleep may be more regular, but that doesn’t mean the screaming fits are behind us. Charlotte still has a dozen of those each day. But we’re finding ways to cope. (That vacuum is on.)

She also finally noticed her mobile. The spit-up is unrelated.

This outfit was given to her by Connie & Paul Pojanowski, and I’ve been meaning to get a picture of her wearing it. But the first two times she put it on, massive spit-up immediately followed. Finally, I decided to take the photo while she was still eating. Mission accomplished.

Bailey has a keen sense about when visitors are coming.

She’s also decided this chair is hers.
