Charlotte Month 7 and 8

Here are some pictures of Charlotte's seventh and eighth months.





Charlotte busted her lip on the hardwood floor. She was pretty upset until I let her suck on an ice cube! 


                   Pretty for church








First real food! She wasn't sure at first but picked it up pretty quick!

































New Outdoor Playthings

Nana and Pappy got the kids a trampoline for Christmas. They have playing on it every chance they get!




Benjamin got me a bike and trailer for Christmas! I have taken all the kids for bike rides in Conway at the trail and gone with just me and Charlotte also. I'm loving it! 










Ice Storm

We all got a few days off with the last winter storm. We couldn't get down the drive for 3 days. 







The kids got pretty bored so we had to think of new things to entertain. We dug out this this cardboard spaceship and the kids had a sleepover in it.






Warm, Sunny Mexico.....Ha!

The cruise is finally here! Mom booked this cruise over a year ago and we have counting down the days! We left the day after New Years for a four night cruise from New Orleans to Cozumel. We left Charlotte with Mimi for the duration. (That's a whole other story though...silly, stubborn baby). 



I think our favorite thing to do on the cruise was to eat! The kids couldn't believe they could eat whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. I think they had ice cream after every meal. Even breakfast!










There was another bed to pull out but the kids both wanted to sleep on the high one. 


      They loved to look out the window!








We loved kids camp! I think every vacation should have one! The kids really enjoyed it and we were able to hang out by ourselves some. 





They loved the towel animals made by the house keepers


The first couple days on the cruise were pretty cold. We were expecting warmer weather. When we docked at Cozumel it was cold and rainy and the wind was blowing really hard. We went out anyway because we hated to miss it. Graham cried at first when we had to walk through the rain to get into the port. Eventually the rain let up a little and we were able to explore a bit. 














Finally on the last full day the weather warmed up and we were able to hang out on the sun deck!
