Music
We had music class this morning and Charlotte was all over the place! This is her 9th class and she is by far the youngest but she is really starting to get the hang of it! Chris was here for class and I got to take a lot of video of the class. The best part is that she actually clapped for "If you're happy and you know it!". She has grown so much in the last two weeks! Today she also stood by herself, just for a few seconds but still! Lisa came over tonight and watched Charlotte so Chris and I could have a date night! Lisa said Charlotte was all over the place, walking along all the furniture! Check out Lisa's blog for a post from tonight! Enjoy the photos and video from music!

Birch Aquarium
This morning we headed to the Birch Aquarium with Lisa and Abby to see some fish! Charlotte was fascinated with the big fish tank! She couldn't quite figure out how to get the fish out from behind the glass, but she definitely tried!
They had some tide pools outside so we let the big kids play in them while the babies crawled around!
Lilly knows how to climb up steps, but Charlotte had never had the opportunity to climb and wasn't too sure what to do!
Charlotte really likes Abby and Lilly get's kind of upset when Charlotte crawls on her Mommy! Today she didn't seem to mind too much!
People must think we are crazy when they see us! We are outnumbered by four children, 3 years old and under!!! It will be even more chaotic in June with Lisa has her second baby!! Look out San Diego!

Fun with Daddy!
Chris had the day off from work today and we decided to go to the Zoo for a little bit this morning before the rain came! Charlotte was a little tired but really enjoyed looking at the elephants!
We visited her friend the Jaguar again. He was pacing back and forth between inside and out, I don't think he likes the rain!
Charlotte took a nice long nap this afternoon and woke up in the best mood! She loves pushing her wagon back and forth across the room!
It is incredible how much a baby can change in a week! She is walking holding on to her wagon all by herself! Oh and she won't stop babbling!
Tonight after dinner Charlotte had a popsicle! Abby had these great organic, 90% juice popsicles and we all love them so we bought some for us!
She is still getting used to the cold sensation!
After dinner she spent a good 45 minutes playing in the bathtub! She was definitely one big prune! We both enjoyed spending the day with Chris!

Yesterday she was still kinda all about Mommy, but today she was back to being all about Daddy!

Our turn...
Tonight was our turn to have the wild bunch of kiddo's trash our house! Joli, Syrus and Lilly came over for dinner and someone pretty special surprised Charlotte!
Chris came home early from his trip because of the rain storm we are having this week! Charlotte was happy to see him and yelled at him for being gone!
The kids all enjoyed giving and getting wagon rides around the living room!
Lilly and Charlotte had fun playing with each other. Charlotte is a little bit of a bully... we're working on it though!
Syrus was very excited to find Charlotte's binky's! I think it was the highlight of his night! He loved all of Charlotte's toys, and didn't even notice when Abby left for a minute to go out to the car!!!
Charlotte and Lilly took a bath after dinner since they were so messy! Then the big kids got in afterwords and splashed around. We have learned to bathe the children in groups now, so we don't have four crazy kids in the tub!
Aren't they so cute in their little towels?!
They really liked looking at each other through the bars... uh oh!
If you look above Charlotte's right eye, you can see a little bruise on her forehead. She fell and bumped her head while she was playing this morning. I'm sure it is the first of many bumps and bruises!
She is getting pretty good at standing and walking holding on! She was even holding onto her wagon with only one hand tonight!
Poor Chris came home and was inundated with loud children and three women! At least there was another male in the house! It was nice to play with our friends on a rainy day, and to have Chris home again!

Lisa and Joli tested out the new rocking chair and had some nice mother daughter time. This morning Charlotte and I went to watch Joli's first ballet class! Check out Lisa's blog for pictures!

Friends!
Tonight Willie, Lynsie, Heather (Lynsie's sister) and Josh came over for dinner! The best part was the boys MADE dinner!!! We had steak, salad and butternut squash! It was delicious! I was very impressed with their ability to cook... I think Chris needs some lessons!!! Charlotte was very excited to have some new playmates!
Her new favorite game is to play ball. She loves to roll it to you and have you roll it back!
She somehow suckered in both Lynsie and Heather to play with her!
She loves Willie too and did her best to climb all over him!
She was very mobile tonight and even crawled over Josh's legs to get her ball, then crawled back over his legs... what a silly girl!

Sibling's
Well, Joli is the closest thing that Charlotte has to a sibling at the moment, and now that Charlotte is mobile and wants to do things for herself, and Joli want's to be the older and bossier wiser child, it creates a very interesting relationship. I don't think you need any words for the following pictures!
