AFTER MAKING IT THROUGH THE WINTER IN (MOSTLY) GOOD HEALTH, CHARLOTTE HAS BEEN BATTLING HER FIRST MAJOR COLD OF THE SEASON. EACH MORNING WE WAKE TO FIND HER POOR NOSE RUNNING, LEAVING AN AWFUL RASH BELOW HER NOSE. DETERMINED NOT TO LET THIS COLD GET HER WAY, CHARLOTTE WAKES UP EACH MORNING FILLED WITH ENERGY AND PROCEEDS TO GET HER HANDS INTO EVERYTHING AROUND THE HOUSE. SHE HAS RECENTLY DISCOVERED HOW TO OPEN ALL OF THE KITCHEN CABINETS, AND ENJOYS LEAVING PLASTIC LID TRAILS AROUND THE HOUSE. (NO, SHE DOES NOT FIND IT AS FUN TO PICK THEM UP.) SHE WAS BROKENHEARTED WHEN A RANDOM UTENSIL PINCHED HER FINGER YESTERDAY. SHE RETURNED THE FAVOR BY THROWING IT ACROSS THE ROOM, IGNORING IT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. LESSON LEARNED?!?
NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE ANTICIPATING THE RETURN OF GOOD HEALTH AND THE ARRIVAL OF WARM SPRING WEATHER!
BEDHEAD BABY.
FRESH OUT OF BED AND READY FOR THE DAY. IF ONLY WE ALL WOKE UP WITH SUCH ENERGY!
WHAT A FACE?!
PLAYING (STRANGLING) HER NEW KITTY. CHARLOTTE DOES NOT REALIZE THIS IS THE ONLY KITTY SHE WILL EVER HAVE IN THE HOUSE, AS HER PARENTS ARE DOG PEOPLE.
CHARLOTTE SURPRISED HER DADDY BY WEARING HER LED ZEPPELIN ONESIE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS ONE OF HIS FIRST GIFTS TO HER."I'M READY TO ROCK OUT, DAD!"
CHARLOTTE'S NEW FAVORITE CORNER TO PLAY IN. I OFTEN CATCH HER RUNNING HER HANDS ALONG THE BOOK SPINES. WE LOVE THAT SHE IS ALREADY INTERESTED IN THE CLASSICS.
BEING PLAYFUL FOR THE CAMERA.
LOOKING PRETTY CUTE IN SPITE OF HAVING A NASTY, RUNNY NOSE.
