Charlotte

Charlotte not only sees Winston now (she used to pointedly ignore him - it was weird) but actively smiles at him, grabs onto his fur and kicks her legs at him.  After months of trying to get her attention, Winston excitedly reciprocates by attempting to lick her face!

Today we went into a French children’s clothing shop filled to the brim with the nicest clothes I have ever seen.  John and I went madly through the sale rack and came away with 4 new outfits for her!  I have yet to do my research but I think the clothes *might* be available in the USA.  Fingers crossed!  The orange top and jeans are one of the new outfits.  Of course I changed her straight into the new clothes as soon as we got home.

Charlotte Photo Bomb

My Mac has been playing up recently.  I think maybe iPhoto is overwhelmed with the volume of photos since Charlotte was born.  After a week on strike, my Mac appears to be playing nicely again so here are a bunch of photos of Charlotte taken this week.

I always thought that John’s dark features would be dominant in any child we produced.  Instead we have a fair, blue-eyed baby.  

With the hot weather upon us (hello hottest summer in NYC since the 1800s) I scooted down to Macys this week to buy a few more rompers for Charlotte.  They have a great selection of inexpensive baby clothes.  I bought three rompers (the one below included) for under $20 - all on sale.

Oh, found this photo on my camera too.  Winston is the strangest dog.  When you give him a dog biscuit he immediately runs off with it, then puts it down and snuggles up to it for about 10 minutes before slowly eating it.  I mean, what kind of dog doesn’t immediately wolf down a dog biscuit.  Instead, Winston savors every morsel.  It’s clear he is an only-dog.

Today we went to Buy Buy Baby to have a poke around.  We bought Charlotte a couple of swimsuits.  She is all ready to go swimming in France.
