Minnie Mouse

Again, Charlotte wasn't into the modeling too much, but here's her Minnie jumper. The matching bow has Mickey heads on it :)

I also got a jumper for her to wear on her birthday, but we'll keep that one a surprise. OK, I admit it we couldn't handle another wardrobe change. Besides there was grilled cheese for dinner and Charlotte has her priorities.

Fashion Show

Apparently Charlotte's not really interested in a modeling career. Well, maybe if we had a catwalk it would help cause she was much more interested in walking and moving about this evening then modeling her new jumpers. I got these for our Disney trip in November but they're so cute I wanted to see what they looked like sooner.

Here's her Winnie the Pooh jumper.... you might not be able to tell but the bow (which she didn't sit still to get in her hair well) is a cute little bumble bee to go along with the Huney Pot and bee on the dress. Of course, these are *nice* bees.

Anyone have a good place to get plain long sleeved onsies? In case it's cool, I'd like to get her some to wear underneath.

Visiting the "Greats"

My daddy and Grandpa and Grandma Findley took me to Indiana to meet my "greats"

Great Grandma Findley let me sit in her lap.

Great Grandpa Byrer let me steer his restored Ford tractor.

Grandpa Findley held me tightly during the pontoon boat ride.

Grandma Findley showed me the many sights on Huffman Lake when we went on the boat ride.

I don't know what is more fun - standing by myself or riding in Great Grandpa Byrer's pontoon boat

And Great Grandpa Byrer let me steer the pontoon boat too!

Grandpa Findley takes me for a ride after the pontoon boat ride.

Four generations - That's "great", isn't it Great Grandpa Byrer?

Charlotte's First Steps

She's been threatening to walk for awhile now-- throwing herself at objects and making it one or two steps before falling face first. But yesterday she actually repeatedly was able to go up to five steps in a row. Kinda nice that she did it on what would have been her Great Grandma Mela's birthday.

For some reason the embedding isn't working so here are links to see her walking:

That guy is back....

Charlotte's digging the extra Grandpa attention since my dad got into town on Friday afternoon. He's been trying to teach her to say "Grandpa". I'm still betting on "Cat" for the first word.

Today at the garden

The weather was just about perfect this afternoon-- so we headed to the garden with Grandpa.

I'm cute, and I know it...

Can you guess what happened next?
