Four Months Old Already!

Charlotte, Mommy, and Daddy had a little photo shoot under the big tree in our front yard in Duluth. She was very cooperative, but didn't look at the camera much. Further down you'll see more pictures from this same day.

"Auntie" (one of mommy's best friends from college) Mikkin made Charlotte a lamb towel! She looks so adorable in it! Thanks Mikkin!

Aunt Lisa and Uncle Travis got this fuzzy outfit for Charlotte. It is appropriately from them because it has a pink bird on it and they have several pet birds. They are Charlotte's bird cousins.

What a beauty.

This is Charlotte playing airplane with Daddy.

Lots of fun!

Fast asleep on Daddy's lap. She looks so big in this picture!

Mommy and Charlotte at the Farmer's Market just down the street from our apartment. We got Charlotte her first pumpkin! This was also her first time in the Moby wrap facing forwards. She puked a lot, so there is a burp rag hanging on the front to catch it all!

Grandma CarolAnn made this quilt for Charlotte. She likes to have tummy time on it because there is lots to look at!

Charlotte borrowed Daddy's cowboy hat.

She is such a cute baby (and I'm NOT biased!)

Some more pictures from our fall photo shoot. She is actually holding the pumpkin stem all by herself! Seconds later it got too heavy and it rolled off her lap.

Charlotte and Daddy.

Charlotte and Mommy.

Daddy decided to carve Charlotte's pumpkin, tiny as it was. Obviously, Charlotte was thrilled.

Charlotte loves to help in the kitchen.


On October 28, Charlotte was dedicated at the Vineyard Church in Duluth. She was so good and didn't fuss at all. She wore the dress and booties that Mommy wore when she got baptized in 1982! Later during the sermon she let out a big happy squeal and the pastor blamed it on another baby!

Auntie Laura came all the way up from St. Louis, Missouri for Charlotte's dedication. (Ok, not really. We just planned it for the same weekend Laura was going to be in town). Laura hadn't seen Charlotte since she was 3 weeks old! She's a very different baby now!

Goodbye Duluth! We will miss you!
For those of you who didn't know, we just moved to Buffalo, MN for 9 months as a part of our schooling. We will post again in a few days with some pictures of our new apartment.
