Sick Little CeCe.

So it's been forever so here is a overload of pictures of Charlotte. All of the pictures are out of order again.

Poor girl has been super sick with ear infections, colds, a rash and hives. The rash is CRAZY. it travels day to day. Luckily for me she doesn't seem phased at all.

She is huge! She's 14 pounds and 25.5 inches. And she thinks she should be feeding herself. She can roll over front to back and almost back to front.

I also included her Halloween costume picture too. She was a bumble bee. And she loved it :)

Halloween Time

As I learned before, blogging from my phone gets all jumbled. So here is a quick post of the first of my Halloween decorations and some cute pictures of Charlotte.

Pinterest Mom

So My friend and I decided the other day that we would like our husbands to start making bucketloads of money so that we can just be stay at home pinterest moms. I for the most part am I stay at home mom and I love pinterest. I've been obsessed with the do it yourself cleaning stuff. So here are a few things I have made. The laundry detergent I made back in April. This is still the first jar full. I made the full recipe and i still have half a five gallon bucket full. The shower cleaner is my fave. It works SO SO WELL! And the spot remover I used today and wallah... The spots are gone. I honestly couldn't remember where the spots were to take the after pic. It worked that good.

And lastly my super cute baby. She is hysterical and adorable and getting so so huge!!

And I just downloaded the blogger app for my phone so everything might be jumbled up.

baby, crafts, and cooking

okay time for a new post filled with mostly pictures. I have been a little more crafty lately so I'll include a few crafts plus the cake I made for Daysa's birthday. I CANNOT believe that Daysa is 18 and out of the house. its NUTS! Happy Belated Birthday Daysa Bug. 

so pretty much she is adorable :) she always makes this kinda crazy half smiling face. And she loves the addition to her room. I hung up this tree branch right above her changing table and it is no longer a struggle to change the diaper. she just stares up at the pink. 

I originally made this and stuck it in a vase for a baby shower but decided it matches Charlotte's room quite nicely so I hung it up in there.

So Charlotte is a REALLY happy baby... unless she is mad at you then she refuses to look at you and just furrows her brow. She is so funny. She cried the whole way from Lehi to Orem (15 minutesish) and as soon as Clair pulled in our driveway she stopped, so when Clair went to get her out she furrowed her brow and refused to look at him. this is the side profile just waiting, annoyed, at the world.

 

So here is another craft. Its the end of August so I decided it was time I took down my 4th of July wreath.

 and last but not least Daysa's birthday cake. It wasn't that good but it was the best bunt cake (visually)  that I had ever made. it was a dark chocolate Oreo filled cake.

Just Another Day in Mermain Land

  Okay so my very best friend Melynne just had a little girl, Bridgette, a couple months before Charlotte was born so naturally Bridgette and Charlotte are very best friends... and it just so happens that Bridgette's dad Brigg and Clair get along fantastically and I would say they are the man version of very best friends...PLUS The Barrons (Brigg and Melynne) have a two year old boy Brox and I have already arranged the marriage of Brox and Charlotte. Melynne and Bridgette just sent us the most ADORABLE little thing and Charlotte and me had a little photo shoot. Unfortunately it is all from my phone since I have no camera so there is quite a bit of blur going on. but really? LOOK HOW AMAZING THIS IS! and it doesn't help that Charlotte is really really cute.

 

Melynne you are the greatest. I cannot believe you MADE this! I am in love with it! Charlotte thanks Bridgette! Charlotte wouldn't really look at me so sorry for the crazy pictures. But I LOVE the mermaid tail!

Today we were invited to the Manila Beach. Its a little man made beach in Pleasant Grove and it was PACKED. It was super fun and super warm. We just chatted with some of the ladies from the ward. I should have snagged a picture of the actual beach but I didn't even think of it. I'm sure we'll be going back so I'll take some pictures then. But here is little Ce Ce sound asleep in her yellow polka dot bikini. You can see she is chunking on up. She is almost NINE pounds!!

And last but not least....her double chin.. ha ha ha and a kinda smile :)

Baby Charlotte

This little girl LOVES her sleep. She sleeps about 4-6 hours a time at night, but she needs her naps during the day. But here are a few pictures of her sleeping, the faces she makes and positions she sleeps in are super funny and you can tell the she is out cold in a few of them. Hopefully you can also tell that she is chunkin' up. We go back to the doctor next week and I would not be surprised if she has hit 8 pounds. Formula is working wonders for the little monkey, but right now I think she is going through a growth spurt because she is eating almost 4 ounces at every feeding! AH!! Shout out to anyone that has formula they are trying to get rid of.. We'll take it!

She folds right in half when she sleeps on my belly. Weird that this is probably how she was in the womb.

Her feet HAVE to be free or else she will scream and scream, and yes she sticks them straight out while she sleeps. The cute quilt on the crib is from Grandma Oswald. THANKS GRANDMA. Hopefully she is dreaming about being a dancer :)

Did I mention that she hates me waking her up from her naps, but I think her stretching and curling up into this little ball is super funny.

And last but not least, I think Charlotte got her attitude from her dad, but boy does she give looks that are hysterical. We went up to Malad last weekend to spend time with Clair's family and of course show off Charlotte to the extended family.  Charlotte sometimes gets an extremely concerned look on her face when she doesn't know who it is that is holding her, she will also give you this look if she doesn't really like what you are doing while holding her. swaddling her makes the looks even more funny because all you see are the concerned or angry little eye balls.

 

Who Knew??

Who knew being a parent could cause so much anxiety!?! Our little kidlet is just too darn skinny, her skin looks like its falling off of her body. But here are some more pictures. Because I don't have the cord to get pictures off my camera, all the pictures we take are on our phones so pardon the not so great quality of them.

Ce Ce LOVES her sleep and I love her waking up faces and movements. She gets super annoyed at me.

You can see on her arms the rolls of skin the poor kid has. This is a newborn dress and the little bloomers underneath fall right off once I pick her up.

I love her little crossed feet this happens every time we feed her and her hands go right up underneath her chin.

another newborn picture that I Love.

Because Charlotte was still under birth weight by at two weeks and then even further under at two and a half weeks the doctor has me giving her ONLY formula.( They wanted to admit her to the hospital but I asked if I could try formula first) We go in tomorrow to see if that does the trick of bulking her up or if there is a underlying problem. Luckily I had a friend give me a couple things of formula, and the doctor gave me a few too so that I wouldn't have to go out and buy any, but it looks like we'll be supplementing with formula for a year so if you have any extras send them my way!
