  2 Weeks in Pictures wrapped into one quick blog....

  Blogs as I know them ( wordy, and hours worth of time spent putting them together ) are about to change. For starters, I literally CAN'T put my daughter down - one b/c she likes falling asleep on me, and then I can't set her down cause she's so cute and snuggly, and - two because if she's up then I want to be playing with her, and -three because we've had / and are going to continue to have lots of guests, and you can't just sit around and blog when you have guests here, right??

  So, here come the first 2 weeks in pictures - and a few highlights ( there have been MANY!! )

  Week One-

  I already shared the birth, and hospital part of her life, so we'll move to when she got to come home, on Christmas Eve ( which was so special ) and wake up with her mommy, daddy, grandpa, grandma, and Auntie Erin on Christmas day.

  

  Here's our TEENY little sweetie Christmas morning laying on her 3 month clothing new wardrobe from her daddy's Auntie Martha!! Can you believe how tiny she is?? Some babies are too big for this size when they're born!!

  

  Laying on Grandma's lap with her new jeans, and Grandma loves (and spoils ) Me onesie!! Cute!

  

  And with her Grandpa, Auntie Erin, and daddy Christmas night before bed. We had such a fun and relaxing Christmas day, opened gifts, ate lots of food, and mostly just spent time hanging out and staring at baby Charlotte!!

  

  The cats are needier than ever - nothings changed there!! HAH!!

  

  Auntie Erin loves her little green bean....

  That week while they were here, we got out a bit - pediatrician appt, Target, Babies R Us, Starbucks run, a few lunches out - but mostly just stayed at home, watched movies, and spent time as a family - it was SO great!!!

  We also started having our first guests - Charlotte has had SO many friends over to visit her - and some of the first ( they also brought CPK which was fantastic!! ) were Candace and Vitaly- Here they are with her...

  

  Once again, she's swimming in her clothes - we had to go out and buy a whole bunch of new things once we realized how little she was!! =)

  

  Charlotte had her first bath while Grandma and Grandpa were here too!!

  

  She LOVES bath time!!! =)

  

  We also had to get out and take a few walks - the weather was fantastic over Christmas time!! It was SO weird though not having snow!!!

  

  Some clothes that actually fit, well kinda!! =)

  

  Daddy and his little girl!!! The first of many walks together!!

  Week Two-

  

  Mommy's first day alone with her little girl ( daddy went into work for a little bit on Monday and Tuesday AM ) She loved looking at the floral arrangement that was sent to her at the hospital.

  

  We also had to stop into daddy's work to show her off! Of course!!

  And we had a lot of visitors come to see us, and bring us meals -

  

  Lauren got to finally meet Baby Charlotte ( She's the little girl I nanny for )

  

  And I love this one of Brett, and Lauren both checking her out ( and her umbilical cord - Ewww!! )

  

  Levi, Missy and Annelise came over that night to bring us dinner - Levi was pretty excited!! =)

  

  And here he is with his mommy!

  

  And Annelise ran into Charlie's room and found Stitchy and one of Charlotte's binky's. That chick is such a binky stealer!! HAH!!

  

  Also, Auntie Lisa came over and spent the better part of the afternoon with us. So helpful, and SO much fun catching up with her!!

  

  And again, Shrinky needed EXTRA attention!!! Can you believe this guy?

  

  This is typically how our nights ended the entire second week! I LOVE IT!!!

  We also rang in the New Year with our little girl the second week.....

  

  Here's our little family!!

  

  Joshua singing to baby  Charlotte! He just LOVES her, it's so darling!!

  

  And the family shot of the Parisians - ringing in the new year at our friend Sean and Dana's house with our new little bundle of joy!!!

  

  Charlotte enjoyed playing a lot too!!! Here she is on her changing table with all of her toys!!

  

  And her checking herself out in her mirror. What a pretty girl!!

  

  One of my favorites - getting a bath, and again looking at that pretty girl in the mirror....

  

  Daddy also did a lot of diaper changes ( we both did, but it's cutest when he does it! )

  

  Awwwwwww..... So gentle, SO precious!!!

  

  Jennie and Ian ( the other little boy I nanny for ) also had to come and meet the little sweetie!!

  

  Nighty night sleepy head!!!

  And that's her first few weeks! I should also share that I went back to the doctor ( she had gotten jaundiced in the hospital )and 3 days after being home she had gone back up to her birth weight - yeah!! We also had an appt the next week and she had gained almost a pound - 7 lbs and an inch. She's still tiny, but gaining slowly but surely!! Whoo-whoo!! She's amazing!!

  Okay, well that's all the time I've got to put into this. I'm planning on sharing our maternity pics tomorrow or the next day as we just got those back, and they turned out phenomonal!! Seriously, we are SO excited and happy about them!!!

  That's all friends and family,

  All of my love,

  Megan Brooke
