Charlotte turned 6 months old today. Lots of milestones, sitting up, rolling over, sucking toes(?!) etc. We plan on taking a photo in this chair every month from now on.

Here’s Charlotte gleefully relaxing on her new play area whilst a rogue wooly strawberry bounces past her. Happy Friday everyone! Charlotte also wanted you all to know that she sleeps without a swaddle now and has done for 3 weeks. The kid is growing up.
Not sure how this photo escaped being blogged but it’s here now. Just looking at some photos from November and couldn’t believe how much Charlotte has changed and grown. Some of the early photos are down right hilarious. Ever notice how celebrities don’t publish their baby’s photos until after 6 months? It’s true—babies look more like little turkeys than the little angels they become. This photo (at the spa) clearly shows how Charlotte felt about having her picture taken before she had reached 6 months old.
I rode my bike home from work today along the sea wall in the middle of an April shower. By the time I hung my bike up in the garage and walked through the front door, the sun had come back out. The light was so beautiful I couldn’t resist taking Charlotte for a stroll down to the community gardens for a bit of ‘lovely’. You’ll notice that Charlotte dosen’t need the ‘Cocoon‘ for the stroller anymore. We got down to the gardens and just sat—the air was filled with the fragrance of Spring. Life is indeed beautiful.
