YES! TOES!

She's holding her own bottle pretty well now, which makes everyone (especially her) happy. 

She wore an old dress of mine today.

 

  Landon wouldn't stop talking to smile, but we love how communicative he is.

 Today Aiden fed Charlotte tiny pieces of baby Puffs, and both of them really enjoyed it.

Sulphur Creek Nature Center

On our day off from school, we visited Sulphur Creek Nature Center in Hayward.

 There were lots of birds, a few coyotes, a fox, a rabbit, toads, spiders, snakes, etc. that are all local and have been taken in because they couldn't survive on their own. If they recover, they are released back to the wild, and if not, they stay.

 Aiden was a little afraid of the aggressive turkey. Landon, on the other hand, had to be reminded not to hold onto the fence.

 They have a little "discovery center" with puzzles, displays, information, and puppet show supplies and set up, so kids can get involved. The boys loved seeing the animals, walking around, playing in the center, and talking about helping animals.

It was such a fun little trip for our day off!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Some of our latest snaps...

Charlotte loves to stick out her tongue and grab her toes lately.

Five Months Old

Charlotte is five months old! She is as sweet as ever. We tried giving her a tiny bit of rice cereal, and she wasn't a fan... so we're waiting longer on the food thing than we did with her brothers.

She is sleeping great at night, except somewhat less so when she had a cold this month.

She loves to watch her brothers and giggles when they play Peek-A-Boo with her.

 

She is reaching for and grabbing toys now.

She loves to babble at us, and Aiden likes to think she says a word like "hey" every now and then.

 She has very big smiles for her family, which makes everyone happy, especially Landon, who giggles and says "She's smiling at me!"

 Patrick went to Japan and graciously brought home souvenirs for everyone. The boys can be seen with theirs regularly every day.

 

This little girl brings so much joy to our home, it can't be contained.
