I promise next entry there will be a picture of Charlie!

OK, so Carson and I have been "introducing" the potty to Charlie (or polly as Charlie calls it) for a couple of weeks now and it is going good by my standards. Even though I know Erin will point out that I love to share pictures of Charlie while she is naked, I have decided that I will keep her bathroom anonymity and not show the pics of her reading on her potty. I believe that there are some things that are only cute if it is your kid (they are pretty funny...I will take requests for private viewings for any who are interested!!!)
Anyway, the point of this entry...Charlie is always eager to share with "others" what she knows. No baby or stuffed animal is left unfed, thirsty, without a new diaper or boo-boo unbandaged etc. Our mini momma is on top of it (one of the baby's even got diaper cream yesterday, that was a first.) I don't know why, but it never occurred to me that they would also get potty trained as well. Although I have decided to keep Charlie's pictures private, I will be glad to show you all the progress that Charlie has made with her baby doll...

Unfortunately this baby is not particularly fond of the water and now cries when you put the bottle in her mouth and sucks out of her foot. FYI, we have not actually put Charlie in the potty...

not yet anyway!!!

Funny story...

I will admit I have been a lot more slack than I thought I would be with this blog page thing. House Hunting is a lot harder than I thought it would be, and seems to have become some sort of addiction. Apparently I can only handle one situation at a time. So, I decided today that I will only house hunt one hour a day and get back to normal.

This will be the only entry so far that is not accompanied by a picture. Which is sad, because today Carson and I took Charlie to the park and there were a million cute Father's Day photo op's and I forgot the camera.
Anyway, Charlie does funny stuff every hour, as most two year olds do, but the other day she did something that I thought was especially funny and have decided to share it with all of you. I will try to tell the condensed version...
Charlie has seen me put my contacts in several times and every time she sees me do it she imitates it. We went to Costco and I picked up another box of contacts and put them in the bottom of the buggy. On the way to the car Charlie saw the box in the buggy and said "have it" and proceeded to stick her little hand through the bars of the buggy and pull it out. She was holding the box with one hand and my hand with the other as she was intensely studding the box. She finally held it up and said "what's that mommy?" I said "it's mommy's contacts." Next thing, I look down and Charlie had the box smashed up against her eye. She did that the whole way home. It was so funny (almost as funny as Will Kirk getting mad that the food was fake!!!) ... I sure hope you all got the visual.

I'm throwing this in too ~ Can you all believe Charlie is almost TWO!!!! Even though I have been referring to her as being two for months now.

What are cousins for...

...they are for washing your hair when you get in from the beach...whether or not you want her to!!!! Thanks Suna!

Lazy days of summer!

Aunt Phoebe...it must be nice to have a child that actually sits on the beach.
