Charlotte is 7 months old!

It's July 11, 2009 and Charlotte is now 7 months old. She is growing so much! Rolling over from front to back and back to front, sitting up (a little wobbly, but still doing good), drinking from a sippy cup and enjoying eating with us at the dinner table. She continues to say "dada" and "mama" and continues to hold her own bottle. She loves playing with all her toys and her absolute favorite thing to do is to play "where's Charlotte". She initiated the game all on her own. She grabs anything she can find near her and covers her eyes (or entire head in some cases) and then we have to ask, "where's Charlotte?" We pull the blanket or what have you off her face and she giggles, coos or laughs hysterically. She is so much fun! Olivia and Jack are enjoying watching her learn and grow too....they are terrific big siblings!!!

My baby is growing up so fast...why can't we just freeze time? Will she always know I love her as much as I do? Will she always shake her legs in excitement and bounce to get my attention? Will I remember her toothless smile and chubby cheeks with dimples? This is so bittersweet to me....being so happy that she is getting bigger to do more things and experience life as an integral member of our family but at the same time....I just want to freeze her or time.
