Things that have happened since Charley has been born: November - January

November
I cant even believe Charley is 6 months! Wow this has flown!

We started food! First with peas, then apples. As of 11/6 she isn't that into it, which is shocking.
She started sitting up! She can sit up on her own for a few seconds at a time.
She rolled over from back to front on the play mat in her bedroom - it was so exciting!
Charley is sick again.....boooooo.
She loves Mangos.
Sneak peek of our Christmas card!
Charley went on the bus! Twice! The armitage bus from day care.
Charley experienced snow for the first time on 11/21/15
Allergies: peas and possible green beans. This sucks because she loves them. Tonight Charley broke out in massive and scary hives after eating peas....ugh.
Did I mention Im sick again? Oy. Miserable. Charley is doing better and Bill is fine of course!
She is waking up every 2-3 hours now...what gives? We need to move her crib to the other side of the room.

December

Charley weighs 16lbs, 12oz! 7 months old!
She is sleeping better, but I am an enabler, so she sleeps in bed with us a lot.
She cut her first tooth on 12/8/15 - which explains a lot of crabbiness of her behalf!
We had dinner as Russell's with Mackie and her family the day after Thanksgiving! She met Levi, and they had a great time.
Cicily, Alec, Avery and Alistair came over while they were in town from Austin - Charley and Alistair had a great time!
Charley sat in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time!
Charley went to Goldyburgers for the first time too!
We had Christmas and Charley got lots of toys! Her favorite are the blocks and the piano. Everyone was so generous!
We have had a lot of people to see this week: Molly and her girls, Amy and Joshie, Erica, Denise and Colleen, Frankie and Emily, and Erin!
Her first new years eve was spent sleeping as mom and dad had beef tenderloin and Angies stuffing.
Here is to a great 2016!!!!

January

I got a new job! That is big news for January - I am the new Academic Coordinator for the Harold Ramis Film School at The Second City. I have been so freaked out, but while I leave a job with amazing health insurance and benefits, wonderful co-workers and friends, and stability, I have decided to take a major risk to take on a new job with a new for-profit school that hasn't even been announced yet. If anything. I think that it shows Charley that you can't stay comfortable - you have to take risks and challenge yourself.

This month Charley discovered broccoli, and feeding herself little pieces. She is amazing and almost crawling!

She has two bottom teeth, and is rolling rolling rolling! So close to crawling but not yet!
