Once it started to cool off, we and a bunch of other groupies went to see our favorite local artist (our neighbor, Alicia) perform at a coffee shop. It was Charlie Jo's first time listening to live music, and she was an ANGEL! She gazed at Alicia singing for several songs, and then zonked out for the last 20 minutes or so. Charlie wore her new black "Crawl the Line - Johnny Cash" onesie, which was a gift from Brad & Amanda. We stupidly only managed to get one cellphone photo of Charlie in the audience and got none of the terrific performance.
A few years ago, my mom got all of our old 8-millimeter home movies digitized and sent them to us on DVD. I popped them in to see how my sister and I compared to Charlie as babies. The movies are priceless. The best part is Erin and me learning to roller skate on concrete (and wearing short little dresses) while my mom, grandmother Meem and Aunt Janet watch. How we survived to adulthood without massive scars is a mystery to me. It's really sweet to watch my dad play with us because it reminds me so much of Corey with Charlotte. If Corey is half as much fun as a dad to Charlotte as my own father was to us, Charlotte will have a great childhood.
Here are some pictures of the weekend so far . . .

You can see from the photo of the gig that Charlotte was also being watched by the audience. Don't tell Alicia.... Looks like all were having a great time.

Oh, there was no doubt Charlotte was the main attraction. I talked to her, sang to her, and even asked the crowd to "golf clap" after one song because she had just drifted off.....:)

. . . and that's why she loves her Auntie 'Licia!
Yeah, at least you're smart enough to keep your baby inside when it's hot and steamy. When we were at the Columbus Zoo this past weekend, the temperature was 87 degrees, but with the humidity, it felt about 95. I saw moms carrying around babies that were younger than Char-little!! One of them must have been only about 2 months old. I was on the verge of passing out from the heat & humidity when I saw this poor, defenseless baby being dragged around the zoo. Why don't they make people get certified before they can become parents?!?
