Random Moments

THIS IS ONE OF CHARLOTTE'S FAVORITE SPOTS TO READ, SO I TURNED IT INTO A READING CAVE ON A RAINY MORNING. I LOVE TO FIND HER QUIETLY PROPPED UP AGAINST A PILLOW ENJOYING A GOOD BOOK.

SHOWING OFF HER BACK MOLARS THAT ARE COMING IN...OUCH! (I THINK OUR ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD IS ANTICIPATING THE END OF TEETHING SEASON.)
AFTER CHARLOTTE TURNED ONE, JEFF MADE A SWEET LITTLE MOVIE DOCUMENTING HER FIRST YEAR OF LIFE TITLED "A YEAR IN CHANGE."
LATELY, CHARLOTTE CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF WATCHING THE 10 MINUTE MOVIE. SHE NOW ADDS HER OWN COMMENTARY AS THE PICTURES AND SONGS CHANGE THROUGHOUT. WE LOVE TO WATCH HER EXPRESSIONS AS SHE TAKES IT ALL IN, AND HEAR HER "OOHS" AS A FAVORITE SONG COMES ON. THIS HAS BECOME A FAVORITE DADDY/CHARLOTTE ACTIVITY, AND I LOVE TO WATCH THEM ENJOYING IT TOGETHER.

JEFF OFTEN LETS CHARLOTTE RUN FREE AFTER HER EVENING BATH. (JUST ONE OF THE MANY SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN PARENTING STYLES SEEN IN OUR HOME...) IT IS A HILARIOUS SIGHT TO SEE HER TEAR OUT OF THE BATHROOM RACING TOWARDS ME. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT HE DOES WITH HER HAIR IN THERE. I'M CONFIDENT IT IS GETTING WASHED, THOUGH YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT BY THE LOOKS OF IT!

WE ARE NOT SURE IF IT IS THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE OR THE PURE JOY OF SEEING HER MAMA, BUT SHE PEES IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT EACH NIGHT HE LETS HER DO IT. THIS POST-BATH ACTIVITY MIGHT HAVE TO COME TO AN END.
