Charlotte is 8 weeks!

Time sure has flown by. Charlotte is 8 weeks old today and absolutely adorable. She can roll over and smile. She really likes the sound of my voice and looks for it every time I talk. She loves Ivan. Any time she's on the floor he makes sure to go say hi, with his face. And she stares and stares at him. She has measured in about the 70th percentile for height and weight and 50th for head circumference. We are all adjusting well to having her around. She's pretty attached to me, so that can makes things complicated at times. As long as Ivan gets as much one-on-one time as Charlotte, he's totally fine with life. Charlotte gets the hiccups like crazy. She gets them all the time and it's so violent that it shakes her whole body. And she really hates bottles. At least any time I try to feed her a bottle she gags so bad she almost throws up.

This picture is from when Charlotte was only 2 weeks old.

Ivan's favorite snack lately is string cheese. And his favorite TV show is Curious George, even if my favorite cartoon is Shaun the Sheep.

Got your toes! Anytime Charlotte has toes or fingers visible, Ivan takes that opportunity to tickle them. He even makes noises like he's saying tickle tickle. And like a good little sister, she sits there and takes it.

Ivan really likes to draw. He thinks it's the coolest ever. On this particular day I gave him a closed pen and my tiny notebook and he stayed busy for an hour! First he pretended to draw on every single page, and the cover. Then he worked on his fine motor skills and threaded the pen through the spiral. Seriously, busy for an hour, that's a miracle in my book.

He loves to hold his sister. Any time I ask if he wants to hold Charlotte he immediately goes and sits down so she can sit on his lap. Kinda sad that she's almost as big as he is!

Tummy time together! 

Here's Charlotte at 8 weeks.
