Charley's trip of visiting!

This past Monday, Josh and I took Charley on a trip to Baton Rouge full of meetings with new people and a few of oldies but goodies! We started the first night stay with a trip to her Mimi and Pop's house (Josh's parents). Charley got to see her great grandmaw and grandpaw Guidry and two of her great aunts. The next day we slept in and had lunch with Mimi in town. We continued on from Plaquemine to Brusly to meet Aunt Miss America (Jennifer) at her pageant dress shop. This was so much fun. Jennifer's mom, Mrs. Donna, took Charley around to feel the the sparkly dresses. We then headed to Baton Rouge to visit Nellie, Shammy, IE, Gabe, and Cameron. Aunt Elodie brought Charley more precious gifts. I loved everything and can't wait to put it all on her. That night we went out to dinner with Josh's friends from high school and Uncle Clinton. They thought she was great and we really enjoyed out time with them. We don't get to see them very often. And last but not least, we slept over at Aunt Jamie's apartment. It wonderful to hangout with Jamie and Drew. I hope we can do it again soon. On the way out of B.R. we went to Style Salon where Jamie works to meet everyone who have heard so much about Charley Bug. Our trip was full of visiting, and a bit tiring, but a fabulous time all around.

Sleepy baby girl!

My precious angel

Anyone want tickets to the gun show? Those morning volleyball workouts with mommy are paying off

So many milestones!

Over the past month of Charley's life she has met so many new milestones and I have been watching attentively for each one of them. Some bring tears to my eyes followed by a quick call to Josh and my mom, others send me running for the video camera. All, however, are so precious to me and I want to tattoo them in my brain forever! On June 8th she started putting her thumb in her mouth and just yesterday she decided she rathered her middle and ring finger. She began laughing out loud on June 10th, but this precious occurance only comes for the lucky. On June 14th Charley began swatting at my hair which soon turned into grabbing the monkey then lion on her bouncy seat. Just this past weekend she started petting and grabbing her dad, Uncle Dusty, and Uncle Rutley's faces. She rolled over one time but it was in my lumpy old bed. She took her first proffesional pictures on June 24th and they came out fabulous. And last but not least, she is starting to have cooing conversations. So much fun. Oh! We can't forget her pulling up into a sitting position while on Aunt J's lap! She's so advanced! LOL! New pics to come soon.
