Weighty
Charlotte has her 6 month well check-up today.
At her 4 month appt. she weighed 15 lbs. 12 oz. I am guessing she now weighs around 18 lbs. Andrew thinks she is 22 lbs. Hmm….
(non-tumblr people please leave your guess in the comments section—for some reason your guesses aren’t showing up! Anyone know how I can view them??)
What’s your guess?!

Hello, Tumblr.
For the past few months I have had my blog, Pearls to Pampers, attached to Blogger. I was not happy with the layout quality and all the extra “stuff” that appeared all over my blog, so I made the decision to move on over to Tumblr! To all the Tumblr folks, this blog is essentially my baby book for my 6 month old daughter Charlotte Grace.
To everyone who followed me from Blogger,...

6 Months of Charlotte
Every month we have taken Charlotte’s “month picture” in a pink onesie, the same pink bow, in the same chair next to the same stuffed dog (which was made by my most talented cousin Heather). Now that she is halfway to 1, I thought I would share them with you. It is amazing to see how much she has grown! The biggest change was definitely from month 1-2. She went from newborn...

Charlotte Grace- 6 Months Old!
I can’t believe the day has come—if the next 6 months is anything like the past 6 months, than I better start planning her one year bday party NOW because 6 months flies by!! Yesterday marked Charlotte’s 6 month birthday, and she must have known because she was SO HAPPY and FUNNY all day long. We couldn’t believe how grown up she seemed. When we went to pick her up after...

Little Church Girl- 6 Month Birthday Edition
Charlotte Grace is 6 months old today! I can’t believe our little baby will be 1 in only 6 fast months. She was extra cute today in her pink for church—and extra happy and chatty all day long! 6 month post to come tomorrow!

Happy St. Patty's Day!
May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow; May the soft winds freshen your spirit; May the sunshine brighten your heart; May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you; And may God enfold you in the mantle of His heart. Happy St.Patrick’s Day to all!

Hiccup Interruptions
Charlotte got so excited after her sweet potatoes and oatmeal that she wasn’t able to laugh without hiccuping!

Time Out
I think it is so important to remember and acknowledge what our world is going through right now. The people of Japan have and are enduring one of the most tragic natural disasters of our time, and it would be wrong of me to not say anything about the subject. I thought about many things I could say, words of encouragement, a prayer, or a simple “we are thinking of you.” While...

Father-Daughter
This past Friday my Dad invited my sister Devon and I to a father-daughter dinner at our family’s club. This was the first time my Dad had taken both daughters, as one of us was usually off at college, or not living in Pittsburgh. I had not been to this event in about 5 years, and could not believe how many young daughters were there! We talked about how much fun it will be in a few years...

A Day in the Life of a Little Lady
Oh hey, little lady…aren’t you cute. What should we do today?? Yes, Mama’s new magazine! Time for me to tear up the pages…These recipes are making me hungry…where’s that Mimi lady who is coming for lunch? Oh…she’s here. I’m not really in the mood anymore. Mom, seriously?? This is embarrassing…Whoa! Who’s that baby..?? Get me...

Home Team Re-blog
“Everybody has a home team: It’s the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It’s the people who, near or far, know everything that’s wrong with you and love you anyways.These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they’re at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry. These are your people,...

Baby Fashionista
I would have to say Charlotte is a very well dressed baby. I will also say this, because I cannot take credit for it. She has many people who love her very much who have helped her to become the baby fashionista she is! The sad thing about baby clothes, is they are so darn cute, BUT, only last for a short period of time before the baby grows so incredibly fast, her wardrobe and I cannot keep...

Fat Tuesday
Today is fat Tuesday..which only means one thing—I will be ignoring it and trying to stay away from any kind of “Fat Tuesday” type food, and stick to running. Our church has an all you can eat pancake dinner tonight…if we didn’t have a wedding in 7 months I would be there in a second! I think Charlotte may still be teething. It’s really hard to tell with her,...

Little Church Girl-Back to Winter Edition
Today we woke up to freezing rain and snow :(. After a few days of (rainy) 50 degree weather, I thought Spring had sprung! Charlotte decided she wanted to wear a new spring dress despite the cold weather to church this morning. Good choice! It looks like she is reaching for me here, but she is actually reaching for a little ducky toy I was holding to get her to look at the camera. Still so...

First Date!
Today Charlotte and I met up with one of my oldest childhood friends Jake (Jacob) at our favorite restaurant of all time Sir Pizza. Jake’s sister recently had a baby boy, so the babies were able to meet! Little Alex was sooo sweet. I can’t believe how fast Charlotte has grown..Alex is about 3 months, and Charlotte looks like such a big girl now! Charlotte was all about him when we...

Spring Fever...
This weather today is amazing. Not too warm, not too cold, blue skies and bright sun. It’s making me think about the upcoming spring and summer. The best part about that is going to be taking Charlotte everywhere outside, and being able to have an adult beverage at an outdoor cafe. As sad as that sounds, it was something I missed out on last summer! Spring fever for sure…

Ligonier Recap
This past weekend Andrew, Charlotte and I headed up to Ligonier to see Gramps and Granny. As always it was a relaxing visit and we just love spending quality family time. Here are a few shots of our very short visit: Charlotte had an audience while eating her oatmeal. She certainly was showing off for everyone! Gramps with his favorite babyCharlotte found this pasta box a million times more...
