Charlotte is now 6 months old.  I can't believe it, but at the same time I can't remember life without her!! 

She's figured out how to roll over and is now sleeping on her tummy (which keeps mommy up all night but she is very happy on her tummy so I am dealing with it :o).

She is really trying to crawl... Even gets up on both knees, just can't get them to move yet.  I'm sure it won't be too long now. 

She has also found her voice and likes to hear herself "talk"... She talks to the dogs especially, but I think she gets mad at them for not talking back to her!  Still working on saying mommy, although daddy keeps trying to get her to say Raiders!

Phillip is enjoying having his little fan with him on Sunday's watching football games and we are excited that it is finally starting to cool down here a bit (only around 100 this week) so we can take her outside to play.  She'll even be "walking" in the Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer on Sunday, October 5th.

Hope everyone is doing well... Love from the Flattres!!

I added more pictures today ... Charlotte turned 5 months old on the 27th of August.  She's sitting up on her own now and on to eating her veggies (hopefully she'll take after her dad and eat her veggies willingly, unlike her mom). 

We took our first family vacation to San Diego in August, rented a house near the beach w/Sheila, Wade, and Maren.  Charlotte was thrilled to be with mommy and daddy all day, but wasn't crazy about the humidity... it wreaked such havoc on her hair!  So, when we got home, we gave her a little trim (uneven, but not bad for a wiggly baby).

On Monday, we celebrated Phillip's 40th birthday (actual birthday was on Tuesday).  Charlotte and I made him peanut butter pancakes for breakfast and then took him to see the Clone Wars movie.

I added more pictures today, so be sure to check out the picture page.  She's onto rice cereal now and seems to be enjoying it, wasn't so sure at first but I think it's growing on her.  We are taking Charlotte to the beach in La Jolla, CA  next week... so check back for vacation pictures soon.

4 months old today!  She's 14 lbs. and 25 inches long now.  She's all smiles and loves to check out EVERYTHING, she really doesn't miss a thing.  She loves to play in her exersaucer.  She is completely sleeping through the night now, yeah!!  She has been in daycare for over a month now and doing great.  We are looking forward to taking her to San Diego this month!!

3 months old today!  I can't believe how she's grown!!  She has rolled over from her tummy to her back and has found her thumb.  Most importantly, SHE'S SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!  Ok, not every night - but 4 out of 7 last week.  Mommy and Daddy are very thankful :o)

Charlotte is now two months old.  She's up to 12 lbs. 1 oz.  and is now 23 3/4 inches long.

She was baptized on 5/25/08. 

Aunt Sheila, Uncle Wade, and Cousin Maren came from Carlin, Nevada for a visit. 

Went swimming for the first time in Neil and Gayle's pool. 

She is smiling and cooing now and really checking things out, she also seems to recognize faces and voices.  We are only getting up once at night with her now, so she is sleeping a bit longer.  Yeah!!

Charlotte is now 2 weeks old and doing great.  She's getting up at night a couple of times, but is a very good and easy baby.  Phillip and I are adjusting to Charlotte's schedule and surviving!!  Thanks to everyone who's visited and/or called or emailed.  We love you!!

Thanks to Grandma for helping us organize and wash all of Charlotte's new clothes and thanks to Aunt Gayle for helping us decorate.
