Charlotte's future BFF is here!

Yay for new babies! David and Peggy finally welcomed their new (not-so) little girl this morning at 9:14. Welcome to the world Abigail- we can't wait to meet all 9 lbs, 3.7 ounces of you!

Anxiously awaiting Charlotte's new playmate

As I type this, our friends David and Peggy are at the hospital, waiting for their little one to make his or her arrival! We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet their new son or daughter. Charlotte is eager to meet her new fellow cloth-diapered friend!

I've been thinking about Peggy all day and remembering my own labor experience. It's funny how the memories of how awful the last few weeks and how exhausting the labor experience was have started to fade. That must be why babies are cute. It forces the moms to forget about the bad stuff!

Peggy contracted for months before her due date, but after the scare of a potentially premature baby, she was induced very early this morning and is still waiting for the Pitocin to kick in. Ah, the irony. I can certainly sympathize/empathize and my fingers are crossed for an easy, if not quick, delivery! We can't wait to meet him or her!

Behind the Wheel

Charlotte has almost mastered her car walker. She has moved from using her head (and risking a bloody nose) to actually using her hand to honk the horn. She has some motor skill issues with the smaller buttons, but she'll accidentally hit them and be so proud she made the music play. I can't believe how well she holds herself up in the walker. It is amazing how quickly she's growing. Won't be long before she's driving a real car!

Fun Times at Grandpa's

As mentioned earlier, we visited Tom and Edie over Halloween weekend. Charlotte got to spend lots of quality time with her Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Andrew even made an appearance. It's always nice to spend time with grandparents!

Charlotte loves her hat (and mittens) from Lindsey and Uncle Andrew!

This baby girl loves her uncle.

Fall Fun

We visited Grandpa Freeman's Halloween weekend and enjoyed some of the beautiful fall weather that weekend. Charlotte loves to look at leaves and listen to the crunching, so we decided to let her play in the leaves a little. It was super fun! Nothing cuter than a beautiful little girl in the leaves.

I've grown accustomed to her face.
