Tummy time and table setting

We started tummy time this morning after Charlotte's umbilical cord fell off. As you can see, she took to it quite nicely. In fact, we think that she prefers sleeping on her tummy to her back (a no-no of course) - she ends up sleeping on our chests or catching a few z's in positions like this whenever she can. Once she woke up, she was quite active and turned her head from side to side a few times. She also scooted herself across the mat with her legs, crying and straining the whole time.


While Charlotte has been experiencing daily milestones and requiring a lot of attention, Julia has been helping out in new ways. Tonight, she set the entire table by herself. Everything you see here she placed on the table. After seeing the configuration of the items, Dad tried to teach her the concept of perimeter. Julia just wanted to eat some blueberries

First bath and other fun



Julia helped give Charlotte her first bath. Contrary to appearances, Charlotte is actually a very calm bath taker; this has been the only peep in about three days of baths.







Julia has been getting to know Charlotte a bit better, holding her this morning and then enjoying some joint relaxation time in the "machines" as Julia calls them. Julia is saying "cheese" enthusiastically as always. Click on the photo to check out Charlotte's look towards Julia...

Welcome

This video, from the first time that Julia held Charlotte, was also on Julia's blog. It seems like an appropriate way to begin this one.
