Cats, Dogs...and Giraffes?

Charlotte has really taken a liking to the dog. She loves when Zoe kisses her cheeks and licks her toes. Charlotte sticks her little hand out when Zoe is around and tries to pet her...or pull on her ears. Zoe doesn't mind one bit and usually lays near Charlotte every chance she gets. The cats on the other hand basically refuse to acknowledge Charlotte - as far a they are concerned she doesn't exist.


We recently had our kitchen cabinets painted, which required all of the drawers and cabinet doors to be removed. This allowed Linus to find all sorts of new hiding places...which drove Zoe nuts!!!



And finally, to wrap up my animal post, below are pictures of Charlotte with her favorite stuffed giraffe. "Geoffrey" usually sits on her changing table so that she can play during her diapers changes. Last night we brought him into our room so she could play and she refused to let him go.

Bath Time

Charlotte has a new habit of squeezing her belly fat while she is in the tub. She just squishes it over and over again. I tried to get her to stop when I realized it was making her skin red and blotchy...but she doesn't seem to mind. Silly girl.


Here is another shot just because I think it's cute.

Meet Katie Scarlet

On November 29th I got a call from Chrystal, a good friend from my days in Oxford at McCullough Hyde Hospital. Her water broke and she was having a baby!!! Now this was truly as surprise, as she was only about 36 weeks pregnant. I was so hoping to see her pregnant belly before she delivered, no such luck. The little peanut was breech so Chrystal got to the hospital and was in surgery for her c-section within a few hours. Katie Scarlet was born at 12:08pm weighing in the 6lb range. On December 6th Miss Charlotte and I made the trip to Oxford to meet the new baby. Let me just say she was the smallest newborn I have ever seen, I just wanted to cuddle her.


I was also happy to introduce Charlotte to Reba, another one of the ladies I used to work with. It was quite a fun afternoon.
