How Time Flies!!!

The past few weeks have been busy with work, training for the marathon, and visits from my sister and my mom. Heather was here June 13th - the 20th and watched Charlie while Adam and I were at work. Charlie and Heather became fast friends. It is great to see that Charlie quickly warms up to new people. Heather and I took Charlie swimming a couple times. Even Heather was impressed at how much Charlie loves the water.




My mom is currently here watching Charlie during the day. She will be here until the 7th when we all fly back to Montana together. Again, Charlie quickly took to my mom and loves having a new playmate during the day. Last week it was incredibly hot but my mom did take Charlie out for a few outings during the day. Charlie is not much of a cuddly baby (there are too many other things to explore) so Mom took advangtage of this pre-nap cuddle time:

Charlie has learned many things over the last few weeks. One of her new tricks is to blow kisses:


She loves to play peek-a-boo:


And hide and seek:


Yesterday was a big day as she started walking with the assistance of her toy lion. It is amazing how quickly she started zooming around the living room:

And she also learned to climb up the stairs yesterday. Mom was a little tentative but I love seeing all the new things she can do:

And of all the new trick Charlie has learned, she has mastered the skill of being cute. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the last few weeks:
