I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo!

Here's Charli being just like mommy!

Wakey Baby

So ever since we left Alaska, Charli has not been sleeping through the night.
We seriously, seriously don't know what to do anymore! It's really frustrating. I think it's the fact that she doesn't have her own room anymore, and I'm not sure (because we're asleep) but I think when Sam and I move at night she wakes up. We have white noise going, but she just doesn't STAY asleep. She'll wake up, almost on cue, every two hours. She needs either me or Sam to rock her back to sleep...
and I must admit, usually im just TOO tired to deal with it so I just bring her into our bed and let her sleep with us, because she STAYS asleep!! (I KNOW it's a "big no no" but Im stumped) So we actually get to sleep without waking up!! I don't know what to doooo! Please, some advice would be great...or something. I dont know.
*sigh*

So, Charli has started pulling herself up everywhere! In the living room on the hearth, in her crib, on the dog's back...everywhere! It's so crazy how quickly she learned. It took her about two days to learn and completely master this new trick.



This was actually the VERY first time she pulled herself up on her own. Im really glad we got it on camera! :D

Here's Charli doing it again, except using Gabby as a prop this time!


Here's Charli just being the cutest baby ever....


So yesterday Charli decided to take a journey into the kitchen...



I was laughing so hard! It was hilarious. She was after one of her toys that she dropped under the table one day at dinner.
She is just getting so adventurous, and it's so fun watching her personality emerge! She's growing so quickly, it's crazy...it's amazing. We love her so much, and we are so blessed to have her in our lives :)

um yeah WOW

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's been a really really really long time. I feel awful about not updating this! Oh man! Everyone is officially allowed to shun me. (but not for too long, please)

This month has been so crazy.
First of all, Sam got a job! YAY! It's just a for now kind of thing, but in this economy it's something to be proud of!

Second of all, I started school at Rose State College here in Oklahoma city. I'm studying Web Design, and this semester is going to be busy and hectic for me, so I know you all are going to miss my constant blogging. (lol) But seriously, I won't be able to post as much. But NEVER EVER again will it EVER be ONE WHOLE MONTH before I update it again! I swear! Man.

Third of all, CHARLI IS CRAWLING!?!?!?!?
I think all of you with crawling babies can RELATE.

Fourth of all, Charli is almost SEVEN MONTHS OLD?!?!?
Where the crap are all those months coming from?

FIFTH of all, Picture Time.
Here are some FRIKIN late pictures from Christmas. Seriously...what's wrong with me?








This last picture here is funny, because I was letting her play in the living room while I was doing a bit of homework or something or other on the computer, when Margie (Sam's sister) goes, "Um, where's your child?" and I was like....?!?!?!? And I look all the way over there and she has found her toy (BEHIND THE WALL) and started playing with it. I was like, Oh crap, she's WAY too mobile for her own good. It scared me. Well, ever since then Ive tried to keep a much better eye out for her little adventures!
Here's more...





lol! I love the one where it looks like she's a couch potato watching T.V. haha. Classic. Anyway, just thought it might be time to update you all! It kept looming over me like a grey cloud that I was abandoning my avid readers. Alas, here is your Bartlett FIX.
