My mom came to visit for a couple of days, so yesterday we packed up Charlotte (and all of her stuff- a lot!) and headed up to Marquette. Charlotte had many firsts including her first time in a restaurant, her first (of several times) time being changed in a public bathroom, and MOST importantly, her first trip to Starbuck's! She LOVED it!


While we were in Marquette, we obviously went to Target. When I was there about two months ago, I saw an ice cream maker for $25 and my friend, Alicia, had been raving about making homemade ice cream, so I put it in my cart, but decided at the last minute that I couldn't spend $25. Yesterday my mom and I found a rack of summer stuff that was 75% off and the ice cream maker was on it!!! I got it for $6.24!!!!!! What a steal!!!!!

This is a picture of Charlotte just waking up. Like I said earlier, her wake-up faces are my favorite. It's sort of hard to tell in the picture, but this is a kissy face. And I do just want to kiss those little lips!

    I love that last video you posted. She seems to focus so well on objects now! Soon she'll be smiling at you guys! Also, I am glad that Charlotte loved Starbucks. If she didn't you'd probably have to put her up for adoption, or something. AND, I am SO SORRY I missed your birthday. I was in Rhode Island with limited time to talk on the phone, but your gift is being sent in the mail in the next few days and I hope you had a FABULOUS birthday! Love you guys!

    I think it was the vibes from your bargain hunter/coupon guru mom that helped with that ice cream maker. She has trained you well. And ah, what can I say about Charlotte? So very cute!

    Oh...she has the sweetest baby face. It truly is a pleasure to unwrap her from her swaddling blankets in the AM and watch her unwind her face, arms and legs.
    FYI everybody...we finally heard Charlotte cry. Maybe she was overwhelmed after a day of Starbucks, Target, Kohls, Applebees, and Red Lobster! Come to think of it...maybe it was the caffeine in the Starbucks!!!!!!!
