~ Snow Baby ~

I took the girls for a walk the other day and even though the weather was cold and windy, Charley was no match for it.

I think she's adjusted well to life in the North.

~ Crawling - an Update ~

Just a little update on Charley's progress. With barely a week of crawling, our little girl has already progressed to a bum scoot. I think between the linoleum floor and just wanting to get around faster, Charley has decided to bum scoot. And she's gotten quite proficient at it!

This one is a little long, but I think there's some "noisy people" who'll get a kick out of it! You can certainly see the difference 4 days make. This last video is a little older than the first two and it's very apparent how much better Charley's gotten at the "Bumscootin' Boogie".

As well, she's been babbling for some time now, but not really saying much. Then, about four days ago she started saying "Dada" like it was going out of style. I'm patiently waiting for "Mama". She still hasn't called Nathan Dada yet! So, there's still time -Lennah called me Mama first.

~ Our Girls ~

We finally ordered Charley's birth announcements and here is the finished product. Some have been handed out already and the others are in the mail. What a precious little girl we are so proud to call our own.

Here's a couple of comparisons between Lennah and Charley I wanted to include.

I just love these shots of Nathan with the girls - they should be called "A Father's Love". It's so apparent how much he adores them.

~ Crawling ~

Well it's official - my little girl is crawling. Charley's been seriously cruising around the last couple of days and Momma's not too happy! LOL I'm joking, I wasn't prepared for her to be so mobile so quickly though. Lennah was much more content to sit and play in one spot until she started to bum scoot much closer to her first birthday. So far, so good, we've had no casualties yet. Unless you count the screams when Lennah takes away her toys! Charley seems happy enough to crawl to Mommy, Lennah or her toys and not the kitchen cupboards - yet!

I just had to share a couple shots of my beautiful girls.

~ Tool Time ~

Just this afternoon, Nathan and Lennah installed a new baby gate. I think if Lennah had known what she was actually helping to build, she wouldn't have been so eager to help Daddy. But, what a great helper she was - and she only lost one screw! She hammered, measured and drilled. As you can see, when she figured out what it was all for, she wasn't too pleased. Charley on the other hand, hasn't figured out the gravity of the situation - wait until she really starts crawling around!
