Bad Kelli.

I'm not even going to apologize anymore for my patchy blogging. I think this is just how it will be. Many things have happened in the Huser household over the past couple of months.
-I graduated from the Radiography program at LCC.
-I got a job at my first choice hospital. It's only PRN for now, which makes me the bottom of the bottom of the totem pole, but I'm just happy to be getting paid for my time AND having a job in my field.
-I turned 27.
-We finally got internet at our house! Which is directly related to stopping of the financial hemorrhage known as "Kelli goes back to school."
-Charlotte has finally started to say "Mama."

Charlotte is actually really sick right now and has been for the past two days. Super feverish with a hoarse little voice and refuses to eat. We're just keeping her in a diaper all day because she's so hot and uncomfortable. 

And now, pictures.

So, it has been over a month...

Here are some updates.

-Charlotte now knows some animal sounds. Cows say "moo," horses say "pbbbfft," and chickens say "ba ba ba." She also gives a lot of kisses, blows kisses and knows that when I say "Alright" at lunchtime that it's time for me to leave.

-Charlotte had her first visit to the Botanica in Wichita and her first visit to the Sedgwick County Zoo this past weekend. She absolutely loved the zoo. She loved the bears. Once she spotted them, she tried to wriggle her hand out of mine/Aaron's and run down to the window. She also enjoyed the petting zoo. She pet a goat and almost pet a duck (which was not part of the petting zoo, just a particularly friendly pair of ducks crossing our path).

-I went to a radiologic technologist convention in Dodge City this weekend with my class while Aaron and Charlotte whiled away the hours swimming at the hotel, then spent an entire day trying to kill time until my convention duties were over. Happily, the team of two of my classmates and I won first place in the Ray Bowl against 3 other universities and one other community college. 

-My graduation date is exactly a month away. Praise the Lord.

-Charlotte and I had our first tag team sickness this past weekend. Pray for Aaron.

It's Friday!

Charlotte's first foray into the only "sport" Price girls play: Frisbee.

Happy First Birthday, Charlotte!

Update

I'm posting this from our new laptop. (Thanks to grandma for the ridiculously generous gift.)
I'm also posting this from mom's house since we don't have internet. Yes, we are that cheap.

Now for the Charlotte updates.
-She will no longer tolerate being put to bed without me rocking her to sleep first. I'm not sure who enjoys it more, me or her.
-She is incredibly observant. She has an old set of keys she enjoys carrying around and the first thing she tried with them was reaching up to the front doorknob with the keys.
-She knows when people are putting on shoes, coat, etc. they are preparing to leave and waves bye-bye.
- She loved having her Aunt Kristy come visit. After Kristy left, Charlotte toddled back to the guest room, seemingly looking for her new buddy. Sad and sweet.
-She is CRAZY about our neighbors dog and will shake with excitement/'bark' when she can see him from our bay window.
-Actually, she is just crazy about all animals... The video below is Charlotte trying to share her cow's milk with my mom's cat, Ed.

 

 

 

 

Her first experience with spaghetti.

Charlotte loves BACA Bear.

Snow day!

Ed was a very patient cat, Charlotte got through the day with only 3 scratches! Maybe not cause for celebration...

 

This week... from my kindle.

So. This will be short. -Charlotte is quickly becoming a mama's girl, much to my delight. -She really enjoys feeding me Cheerios. -She is walking really well and loving her new ability to carry things around the house. -She is LOVING her stuffed animals, especially her 2 teddy bears. She Is all about hugging them. It is adorable. That's all for now!

Our week in pictures

This weekend, we took our first trip to the park. Our timing was not great as it was close to naptime, so the result is many surly baby pictures. I imagine her inner voice bitterly saying, "Oh wee. Glad you all are having so much fun. Thanks so much guys."

I wasn't terrified by this at all.

"Whatever, guys."

In happier Charlotte events, Charlotte has mastered getting her walker off the hardwoods in the kitchen onto the carpet in the living room. Okay, so not really an event, but she's our only child and our world revolves around her every move.

And in other not-news. Charlotte had pizza last night and rubbed her wet hands all over her hair. Cooing and pictures ensued.
