11 Months

WOW!  Charlie is 11 months old today.  Time sure flies by!

Here are just a few of the many things she does;

*Says*
"Mom"
"Da"
"Jack"
"Hi"
"All Done"  which sounds more like "All Da"

Crawls everywhere as fast as she can.  She must think she is going to miss something if she doesn't get there fast!

LOVES reading her books.  She will sit and read forever if no one bugs her.

LOVES chasing and tormenting Jack!

She has 4 upper and 4 lower teeth in the front.  She is working on all 4 back molars at once.  2 are in and 2 are just about to pop through.

She is a champion sleeper, sleeping anywhere from 10-12 hours a night!  Mommy LOVES this!!  :)

Walks along the furniture and pushes her toys around.  It won't be long till she walks everywhere.

LOVES her baths, if the bathroom floor isn't soaked from her splashing she wasn't in long enough.

New boots from Papa


She loves to crawl under anything she can


Her shirt says "Born to wear diamonds"


She looks SO much older in this picture


Reading


Just resting with Daddy


Just like her sister did, feet up on
the table





Typical morning hair


Go Vikes!


Peek-a-boo




So Big!


Ha-ha


Charlie and Jack watching for visitors


It's hard to believe she is going to be 1 next month!  I've already started planning her party.  It's going to be a Hoot!  (hint hint)

Mississippi River Tour

This past weekend we did a tour of the Mississippi River from Harriet Island to Fort Snelling.  Originally it was a birthday present for my Dad, but life has been a tad busy, so we were finally able to use it now.  If you ever have the chance I highly recommend the Padelford Riverboats.
The weather and scenery were amazing!



Views of Downtown St. Paul from the boat








The Highbridge 





One lonely tree has changed color





The Railroad Swing Bridge
We were lucky enough that on the way back downriver a train
crossed the bridge!
