Dear Charlotte

Dear Charlotte, 

Mummy loves you. 

Mummy will always love you.

You mean the world to your Daddy and I.

You are growing up so much. IN only 18 and a half months you have changed from a little tiny baby, so dependent on us for every moment, to an independent, cuddly, loveable toddler. 

You amaze me every day. 

New words, new actions, new understandings. Everything is new.

You are a busy girl. Active and curious.

You love baby dolls and cars, balls and shoes, bubbles and colouring. You love to feel the wind in your face, and the feeling of mummy's hair on your forehead. You cling to Mummy around 'new' people, or even people you know- but only for a few minutes- then you're ready to give anyone a hug or kiss, or have them play ball with you. 

You are fearless- if you had it your way, you'd sit on the edge of the couch and lean back, to fall, just to see what happened, you'd try to sleep with the dog in his bed, you'd go down a slide head first.

You are so loving. Giving kisses seems to be your new favourite thing- Mummy, daddy, the dog, the cats, your dolly the floor, your shoes- you'll give anything a kiss! Today while we were driving back from Chapters I looked in the back and there you were, holding your dolly like a baby, and kissing her face and smiling.

Your beauty amazes me. Your big blues eyes get comments every day from complete strangers. You radiate  innocence and hope to me, Charlotte. 

Sometimes, Mummy has hard, or bad days. Days when she really misses your brother, or really feels sorry for herself. But, you help keep me grounded, and help me remember he beauty you bring to this world. Everything when I rock you, read to you, sing to you- I watch your beautiful face become sleepy, and feel you cuddle into my shoulder. This feeling- priceless. 

You are loved, Charlotte.

No matter where life takes you, or what comes your way.

You are loved by your Mother, You are needed by your Mother, and you are worthy of everything that makes you happy. 

Love you forever, 

Mummy

SUN!

I lived in Newfoundland when I was little... but I think the 'Spring' weather is something I forgot.
We don't have Spring here... Just winter- cold- snow- rain.
Very few days before July will the sun be out and warm enough to not wear a coat.
We've had 2 of those days this week.. YAY!!!!

Here are some photos of the girly in her summer gear!

I love the summer.. and I think Charlotte does too! 

Road Trips!

Well- It's been a while since I've written. When Charlotte was little, napped a lot and I didn't work. I updated her blog every few days. I know that there are a few people who get their updates through here, instead of Facebook, so I'd like to keep it updated. Also. I want to keep it updated for her. So when she's older, and ready, she can read it too! Here are some pictures from our latest adventures!

1st- for Easter we went to Hr. Breton. and Charlotte got to meet her cousin, Jayda! They had lots of fun!

and of course- fun with Great Grandma!

 I love my daddy! and I love wearing his hat!

Here I am with shoes and a backpack! 

Charlotte made Mummy a card (with her daddy) and a little flower basket at daycare! The frame was my Mother's Day present from the Remembering Together Exchange this year! Thanks Cara!

My beauty loves playing outside! It's still pretty cold here. But some days we get nice sun! 

We found a park near our house. FUN!

Little ham! She loves Mummy's shoes 

For May 2-4 weekend, we went to Trouty. We had lots of relaxing fun!

Do Mummy and Daddy's glasses look good on me?

Colouring is SOOO fun!

Helping daddy with some work

Umm... I love OREOS!!

Casey dog!

Swing, Swing, Swing!

Lots of fun this month! 

She's growing up so much! I will write soon about all the new developments!

Charlotte Update and Easter Fun!

Charlotte is amazing. It amazes me just how much children grow and learn at this age. It's really, really fun to watch!
She understand pretty much everything that is said to her, and she can follow simple 2 step instruction ex. 'Get the ball and bring it to daddy'.

Her talking is not here yet- but her babbling is turning more intonated and appropriate for the environment everyday. She has a few words-

Momma, DaDa, Amma (Grandma), Pop (Poppy), Ball, Baby, Block, Bunny, Book, All Gone, All Done, Shhh (with her finger over her mouth- when her baby is sleeping!),  Bottle, Milk, Yes, Hi, Bye, Up, Dog, BaaBaa (when she sees a sheep).

Not many- and not always easily understood! but they are there!

She loves to dance, and be sang and read too! She can clap her hands and stomp her feet when singing 'If you're happy and you know it..'. Colouring is highly exciting right now,   She LOVES her baby doll- she feeds it a bottle, puts it in a baby bed, covers her with a blanket, kisses and hugs her and pushes her in a little stroller. She even likes to try and get the dog to kiss her.
It's all very cute!

I can't wait until she is able to say more- she is starting to get very frustrated when she babbles at me and I have no clue what she is saying. It must be a very frustrating age- it's probably a good thing we don't remember being that young!

On to Easter-- We are going to visit some extended family on the other side of the Island tomorrow, for the weekend! It will be a long drive, but it should be a good visit!

Here are some of Charlottes easter pictures-- Yes, I know, The Easter bunny at the bottom is very scary looking!

But I don't want to get my picture taken!

 Hello Easter Bunny-- I will Ninja Chop your Eyes!
