So, we don't have internet at our house, hence the hiatus from blog posting. Just an update on our holidays.
Christmas was wonderful and busy. Charlotte loved ripping the paper off her presents and got some really awesome toys, thanks to our generous families. We also discovered Charlotte's love of Santa Claus. She was obsessed with a Santa figurine we had up on our bookshelf and took every chance to crawl over and stare at it, smiling. So imagine her joy when she met Santa for the first time. Luckily it wasn't traumatic for her like some of the other kids' experience.
Just a little bit after Christmas, Charlotte started standing up on her own. A few times she's taken a couple of steps, the record being 3 unassisted steps. Her favorite things right now are feeding herself Cheerios, drinking from her sippy cup, walking on her tip toes, her blanky, and when her daddy comes home from work.
I'm returning to school for my last semester before I graduate (if all goes according to plan). I had a month off from school for Christmas break and I got extremely spoiled getting to spend so much time with my baby. The only downfall is that she got entirely too used to napping with me in the recliner, so Stephanie gets the fun task of getting her to nap in her crib again.

I could go through and tell you what I love about every single picture, but I'll spare you. I do love how calm she was with Santa, though (I bet that was a welcome break for him amidst all the other screaming toddlers), and the pic of her reading with Aaron, and her with the coffee mug, and her teeth, and I'll stop now.
