from Colorado

Well, as has been noted in some comments, it's been a long time since I posted. Things have been so busy with guests and visits and eating and shopping... I will try to make up for it with lots of pictures.

Our big accomplishment as of this post is that Charli and I have taken our first plane ride, going with my mother and grandmother to Colorado. Unfortunately, all our pictures suck, but here are a couple anyway, at the airport and on the plane. Charli was great on the plane. She fussed a little at first, but that was just because she was hungry, and I was trying to wait to feed her until the plane took off, so that she could equalize the pressure in her ears by eating. Eventually I just fed her anyway, and everything went fine. The entire flight was after her bedtime, and after eating she slept the entire rest of the way. We arrived in Denver around midnight and didn't get back home until almost 2am, where Kim had crackers and dip and hot tea laid out for us, and Mom had set up our rooms with pajamas and slippers before she came out to SF. What service!

On the developmental front, Charli has good head control, and for the first time I felt really comfortable walking around with her facing front. Her head didn't bob around at all, and she doesn't like facing me in the moby anymore unless she is sleepy. She gets bored. Also, she seems to be enjoying tummy time more - or maybe it's just that we've found a pillow that makes it ok.

Her firsts are mostly fashion related this time:

1) Butt ruffles! Uh, thanks, Mom...

2) Check it out - shoes! It's pretty cold here in CO. Socks just don't seem sufficient.

3) And last, Charli holds her own bottle! Well, sort of... Clearly this only works if the bottle is just about empty and she happens to have her other hand in just the right place to prop the bottle up. But it looks good!

Charli is as good a traveler as her parents. It is beginning to look more like Charli has not really slowed you down at all; just mix her in and carry on. That is very healthy.

Oh, I almost forgot. Thanks for the blog entry. I heard someone impersonated me as a commenter and complained about the blogging frequency. The nerve of it all!!

Korin, don't let him bully-blog you like that! (I made that word up!) You can blog whenever and wherever you want!

Glad to hear the flight went well. Wouldn't you hate to be the annoying Mom on the plane with the screaming infant! People LOVE that!(I'm sure we have ALL had that experience.)

Have fun in CO.
Tell Charli I like her shoes.

In my defense...those butt ruffles are soooooooo cute! And on Charli they're even cuter...The evening before, Korin says, "butt ruffles? Mom, you've got to be kidding!" The next morning, Korin admitted that they were pretty cute! Shhhh, she'll only deny she said that!
