Charlotte is now big enough and her neck is strong enough that we can put her facing forward in the Baby Bjorn carrier. It's more fun for her since she can see where we're going, but it's less fun for us because we can't see the goofy expressions on her face as she twists this way and that to (1) see the world around her, and (2) lick the Baby Bjorn. Yes, the apparently thinks the Baby Bjorn is very fun to lick and suck on. Now I'm glad we didn't buy a used one.
Today we took the dogs for a walk and I took a turn carrying Charlotte (usually Corey is the pack mule). We stopped to chat with our buddies Johnny and Lee, and Charlotte gave Lee one of her thousand-watt smiles. It's really fun to have a baby who will do tricks on command like that. We'll see how long that lasts.
Poor Corey has to work pretty much all weekend AND is suffering from a pretty nasty cold on top of horrible seasonal allergies, so we're not having much fun this holiday. We're looking forward to next weekend though, when Charlie gets to meet her Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Don for the first time. Charlie is also excited to see her Nana B (the "new" name for Corey's mom) and Granddad as well. Plus, it will be Charlie's first time on a pontoon boat on Center Hill Lake. She tried on her swim suit last night and I just about died laughing at how sweet and funny she looked.
We haven't taken many good photos this weekend, but here's a goofy little video Corey shot of Charlie Jo hanging out on her last morning in Portland last Sunday. Nothing ground-breaking happens, but she sticks her tongue out, sneezes, and does a tiny bit of the babbling that she's been perfecting these past few weeks. Again, the video doesn't have much in the way of a plot, but it has a great cast!
