Charlotte: the first six months

This past week was Charlotte's half-birthday - a whole six months have gone by since the little munchkin entered the world, and rocked ours!

Here's a snapshot of Charlotte at half a year of age:

She's a porker! At her six month check-up on Monday Charlotte tipped the scale at 18 lbs., 15 oz., putting her in the 90th percentile for size (up from 50th at birth).
She loves playing peek-a-boo.
She's started eating solids, but so far seems more interested in the spoon than the food.
She's developed a fake cough, which she cracks out when she's hyper and wants attention.
She is fascinated by the T.V. remote control, the chain on the door, and watching us drink.
She sucks her thumb - but usually only when she's ready to fall asleep.
When she's on her stomach she kicks her legs like she's trying to propel herself forward.
She likes getting kisses from her stuffed animals, her Mommy and Daddy.
She's a great sleeper - I'm almost embarrassed to admit how great... It definitely makes life easier on all of us.
She discovered feet. She grabs her feet now when we're changing her and tries to get them in her mouth. She likes looking at our feet too. Who knew feet were so incredible?
She loves having her head stroked and her hair brushed.
She enjoys books, especially if they involve animal noises.

It's fun to look back over her early pictures, knowing her as we do now. We thought we'd share a few of our favourites from the past few months...
