I'm a huge slacker...

Actually, we've been very very busy these last couple weeks...I'll be able to explain more in the coming weeks. Charlotte is doing well. Her most recent checkups indicate that everything is going well. Her head is 15 percentage points ahead of the rest of her body on the growth chart...once again proving that she is daddy's girl.

She's doing better and better at sleeping through the night [knock on wood]. At this point we're down to only about 1 or 2 nights a week of having to get up with her. Typically, when we get up with her, she'll go right back to sleep after we pick her up. We still have to rock her for a little while to get her back to sleep...but she doesn't spend a lot of time actually "awake". During a recent late night session, she decided she wanted to stay up with mommy and daddy. She was wide awake from about 2 AM to approximately 4:30. I had to get something out of the kitchen at about 3 and spotted the camera on the counter. I'm not sure why, but I thought it would be funny to get a few snap shots of the experience.





Notice, I didn't get any shots of me during this evening. Let's just say the apple didn't fall far from the tree at that time. Oh, and for all you more experienced parents who have that uncontrollable urge to tell us that we should let her cry...we've done that. Thanks.

Lastly, I'll leave you with some obligatory bath video. On this particular evening, she was very content with taking a bath. This is not always the case. Her love for bath time ebbs and flows. Currently, she's in the screaming in terror phase.
