Some quick updates: I finally got a new job and start Sept. 5th. I have mixed feelings about this. I haven't worked full time in over 2 years and I'm really going to miss my time I had to spend just Charlie and me. But I know we need this job (the extra $ will definitely help) and the job sounds like it's going to be a great fit for me. I think I'll really like it once I get started but I think I'll miss Charlie too...
We traveled down to Des Moines last weekend to celebrate Brayden's baptism. We had just seen him 3 weeks prior but I swear he is a whole new baby! He looked twice the size and is already holding up his weight on his legs (w/ help keeping him stable). He smiles so much now too and is such a sweet boy. I love the lil dude.

Charlie is learning so much at such a rapid rate. I think she learns several new words every day and continues to amaze me when she says something new. She's conquering fears left and right as well. Going down a slide alone? No problem! Climbing up high on playground equipment? Done. Riding her trike super fast down our driveway aimed straight at oncoming traffic? Check. Yep, we've definitely got to stay on our toes around this one now! She's fast and curious. Two lethal combinations. But her squeals of happiness while doing these things? Priceless. I love this girl so much.
We've been working on potty training, but it's just that: a work in progress. We can get her to pee in her potty but not poo. And she'll only go on it if we ask her continuously and bribe her with M&M's. We'll get there eventually so I'm not putting too much stress on her.
Since I have been a bad blogger I forgot to post her 2 year stats. She's still a tiny lil peanut weighing in at a massive 21 pounds 9 ounces, which puts her in the 1st percentile again. She's 33 inches tall which puts her in the 27th percentile for height. Seems her height has dropped down b/c up until now she'd always been on the taller side for her age. She must be getting on track to be a shorty like her mama.

Other than that nothing too major going on. Just enjoying our summer weather and being outdoors as much as possible. Winter will be here before we know it. I'm dreading it.
I'll try to stay on top of things here in blog land and post more regularly. I really have no excuses not to. Just pure laziness on my part!
Xoxo~
