Charlotte apologizes for not posting anything for almost a month. She blames her parents entirely for the problem. She also can't remember what her latest accomplishments were the last time we posted, so she's just going to say everything she can do now, and if you've heard it before, oh well.
Charlotte can:
-sleep through the night
-smile
-coo, talk, and make dinosaur-sounding noises
-almost laugh
-look at her hands, which makes her look cross-eyed a lot of the time
-fall asleep by herself in the crib
-go to daycare at our friends' Josh and Joy's house and play with baby Silas
-be a baby medical student and attend a three day orientation in Minneapolis without ever crying or disrupting the meetings
-make everyone around her act silly trying to make her smile and talk
-make her parents so happy
Charlotte and Daddy
Charlotte in her corduroy overalls. She looks kind of like a boy.
Charlotte went on a trip to Lutsen with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Lisa, and Uncle Travis from Iowa. We rode the gondola up the "mountain" to see all of the leaves changing colors.
Here we are at the top of the "mountain" looking at the beautiful colors.

Yum, those hands are delicious!
Our friends Luke, Shannon, Mikkin, and Karl came to visit us in Duluth from Chicago and Denver. Here we are at Gooseberry Falls for a hike.
Grandma Carol Ann and Grandpa Randy love Charlotte!
Daddy is teaching Charlotte to play the piano.
This is at Uncle Charlie and soon-to-be Aunt Olivia's engagement party in Delano. The whole family and lots of friends all came together to celebrate!
Charlotte kicking her legs in happiness for Auntie Olivia.
Charlotte loves her bouncy seat--she sits in it a lot when we eat dinner or need to have our hands free to do something.
This is Charlotte when she was two days old--compare with the picture above to see how much she has grown!
