Sweet baby a ton has happened since I last updated. While we were in Fort Worth you had your first trip to the ER. You had been sick and you woke up with a fever that was over 104. Panicked we rushed you there at 5am. Poor baby, they had to poke you three times to get blood, it was just awful. You finally fell asleep and we watched "Dispicable Me" waited for your results. We never found out what it was, but they sent us home and with in a few days you were fine. This week, on Monday, you had your first bout with a tummy virus. Poor baby. I hate it when you are sick. It makes your daddy and I so nervous. Now, for the good stuff: You are sooo funny! Everyday you make us laugh. Your new thing is dancing along with the music, you LOVE "The Hot Dog Dance" from "Mickey Mouse" and "Yo Gabba Gabba". You are also doing the hand movements to "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (your very favorite) and "Twinkle Twinkle". You are so smart! You have learned to say "please" by putting your little hands together. It is SOOOOO cute, you get a ton of mini M&M's by doing that. Tomorrow we are flying to Denver. I am praying that you tolerate it well. My "Enter" button is not functioning because you beat up my laptop keyboard, so I am going to need to come back and fix this entry. You still are just babbling a lot, but the words are very clear, except of course, for Dada and Hi(sometimes). You started growling, which is funny. Ohhh... you can point to "cat" "Baby" and "balloon" if I show you a group of pictures. You know where your tummy and nose are and we can tell you wipe your face and you will take a wipe and tickle your face, it is so cute. I love you little girl, you are everything to us!! Muah!

Hi baby! We are in Fort Worth for the week with your daddy. You are so active now, it is hard to keep up with you and it is really hard to keep you safe in a hotel room. We had a little birthday party for you with your friends in San Antonio. It was so much fun! I miss our home in McKinney, but I love our new friends and I feel like we have built a little life for ourselves in San Antonio.

I thought I would tell you the story behind your name:
I was talking with your Aunt Kathy on the phone when she said, "Hi Charlie!" I said who is that and she explained that a little girl was over and that her name was Charlotte, but went by Charlie. I fell in love with the name right there. I told your daddy about it and he loved it too. It fits so well, because we really wanted a "C" name after your grandfather Christopher. Also, your daddy was born in the city of Charlotte Amalie, on the island of St. Thomas!
To be fair, we didn't decide on your name until three days after you were born. You were almost a Caroline or an Emily. We also liked Elenore, Marjorie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Addison. In the end, it was either Caroline or Charlotte and we picked Charlotte. By the way, your daddy volunteers your name to everyone who comes in contact with you. He really likes that you go by Charlie and people melt when they hear it. You are so girly and beautiful!

I love you baby girl!
