since you've been gone....

charly's changed quite a bit! she's growing so big and so we've taken some pictures to document her new skills and hobbies!

she can wear cute skirts and play with her toys!

she loves her keys!

i don't know why this is sideways, but she can sit up by herself for a short time....but that's all she wants to do is sit up! but slowly....

she gets slumpy....

and slumpier until she's almost a little ball!

we also found a new toy! welcome sulley to the monson family! thank you kellogs!

and she loves to suck on her fists...it's so entertaining and so slimey!

and last but certainly not least she's got the longest, curliest, most beautiful lashes that mom has ever seen! wow! all the gals will be jealous of you someday! and i swear they are longer every morning! (click to zoom in)

So here you go grandparents....seems like you've been gone for ages! i guess I would be too if I were here.....

see ya soon!

Charly's Blessing....

It's taken me forever to post these pictures because they are on my dad's memory card and it wouldn't read on my parents computer (yes we are staying at my parents while they are in Europe). So anyway, we blessed Charly on April 19, 2009. It was an impromtu blessing, we were planning on doing it the 3rd of May, but when my parents found out they were going to Europe for who knows how long, we decided it would be best to hurry and switch days! It turned out great! It was such a memorable experience! When the bishopric member was announcing that there would be a baby blessing, he was so nervous and said that Charly was a baby boy! I just told her to get used to it...I'm sure it will happen a lot! Corey gave an amazing blessing and then afterwards held her up for everyone to see, you know tradition, and she spit up all over her white dress! Everyone laughed...we will never forget that day! Here's the beauty....

Charly with Great Grandma Roberts
She's the fine lady who made Charly's beautiful dress!

She didn't want to pose with GGrandparents!

Such a special day for our family!

And all the Roberts...minus Tony!

Sorry Monson's we didn't get pictures with you but of course they were there supporting!

2 month check-up...

oh what a sad day! charly went in for her 2 month appointment and had to get 3 shots....boo! she was so happy and such a good girl for the doctor, but then was decieved by her parents that everything was just fine...when bam...one shot gets stabbed into each leg and then an additional shot gets stabbed in the right leg! she just looked at me like what on earth is happening to me! it was so sad! after screaming for a few minutes she perked up a bit and then slept the whole way home ( i think we can thank boompa for that because the diesel sound of the truck must be soothing)! she's being a trooper and is now asleep, but every once in a while she wakes up wimpering...i think it must be a reaccurring shot stabbing dream or something! hopefully the baby tylenol helps!

just waiting

in all her partial nude glory...just before the stabbing occured

the stats...weight: 11 lbs. 12 oz. (75%)
height: 22 in. (50%)
cute feet...so healthy

when we got home...half sleepy/sad

those poor legs...cute tweety bird bandaids though

there she is now...peeping like a baby
(yes mom the bed is made...and the hats are there...see??)

the beautiful weather...

i hope everyone is enjoying the weather...it is so nice...we're just lovin' it! yesterday we went to the zoo, charly hated every minute of it...oh well, what do you expect she couldn't see a thing!
