charlotte 18 months

she is officially a toddler.
as evident by my chasing after charley all over the backyard just to grab a few pictures.

she loves her baby doll, aka "bebe." (good thing, since her baby sister will be here in a few short weeks!)
she loves to swim/bath time/anything with water.  and LOVES putting her face in the water to blow bubbles.
she has become more particular in what foods she will eat.  still no meat.  she will even go as far to separate out the bacon from her beans in her mouth, swallow the beans and spit out the bacon.  who does that?!
she LOVES lucy!  i think i have broken the adorable habit of charley riding lucy like a horse.  the two play for hours.  charley has recently taken to chasing lucy in circles around the family room. lucy loves it too.
all animals are "doggie."  i love it.
charley has almost mastered opening the pantry door by herself.  if i forget to close the door all the way, she has no problem walking in, getting whatever food she wants and bringing it to me.  oh boy.
God is certainly teaching me patience with this one. her toddler tantrums can be embarrassing.  we have left several establishments due to the on her back, kicking and screaming frenzy when she doesn't get her way.
she loves to be tickled and will request tickles at least once a day.  of course i oblige.  i can't get enough of her sweet laugh.

we are blessed with this little one!
