Christmas

Charlotte thoroughly enjoyed Christmas. She had a very busy weekend of opening presents, eating tissue paper and hanging out with family. She received so many toys I am not sure where to put them all. Although she was more interested in the wrapping products while she was opening the toys now she has really started to enjoy playing with some of them.



This is one of her favorites, from Aunt Janet and Uncle Ken.



The classic ring stacker from Grandpa Maher is also at the top of her list.



Aunt Aimee gave her a Mrs. Clause outfit, and she looked adorable in it.

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.
