Happy Birthday, Da!

Charlotte's 6 month stats

Poor Charlotte got 5 shots today!  Yeah, five!  She got the normal vaccines and the flu and H1N1 shots since she's 6 months now and can get them.

So here are her stats:

Weight: 16 lbs. 4 oz. (50%)
Length: 27 1/4" (90%)- again, you're welcome
Head size: 42.3 cm (41%)

So, for all of the people out there that think she's huge, in your faces!!  Really, it doesn't bother me that much.  But I knew she wasn't a porker-- she's just really long/tall.  It's hard, though, to not compare your kid to other kids, especially when she's the size of a few 12-month-olds I know.

Anyway, there ya go.  One post in 15 days.  Yeah, you know I'm not much into blogging.  This should suffice for another week or two!

Pictures from this last week...

This week was interesting.  We got back from VA last Monday morning (we drove 17 hours through the night.  Yeah... it was a LOOOOONG night).  Tuesday morning, I woke up totally dizzy.  All day I felt like the room was spinning.  I was bummed, too, cause I had an apt. to get my tooth looked at (another story), but knew I wouldn't be able to lay back in a chair and not lose my lunch.  That night was particularly hard, too, when I tried to go to sleep.  ANYWAY, I found out the next day at the doc's that I had fluid in my ears.  So, the dizziness has gotten better, but it's still not completely gone.  Let's hope it's gone by Wed., when I rescheduled my tooth apt.

Thursday was a really snowy day.  I think it snowed over 6 inches.  Chad clears the sidewalks and the driveway for our building so we can get some money off our rent each month.  The kids wanted to watch...

Charlotte adores Cameron.  Well, except when he accidentally trips over her head or something.  Then she acts like it was a completely personal attack.

Chad with the snowblower.  Look how happy he is!  Heh heh.

And just some pics of the kids the last few days.

I went to the basement today and brought up the walker we had for Cameron.  It's a walker without wheels.  I had to clean it up a bit and put new batteries in it and lower it.  But she seemed to like it ok.

Cheese ball

Chad wanted me to take a pic of Charlotte's hair from the back (long on the side, spiky on top, and bald in the back).

A take on Christmas from my sister, Katie (cause I don't like blogging).

Poor Ginnie.
Her mom & sister - moi - bug her to put up pictures on her blog.
(Like, we bug her all the time.
Really.)

So, to be nice, I'm guest blogging right now & putting up some of her Christmas pictures for your enjoyment.

Ones of my choosing (mwahahaha).
With my own captions.

Enjoy.

Charlotte & Grandpa Bohon & Anna at the Bohons'.

Wyatt & Braden & Brad.

(I can't believe how huge they are. I haven't seen them in person since Ginnie's wedding - in 2005. Eeeek. I feel old.)

Travis & Shan.

Wyatt making Charlotte laugh.

(She loves little kids. Especially boys. Uh oh, Gin, watch out...)

Travis & Cam.

(I heard they got along pretty well, when Travis or Cam weren't stealing each other's toys. Ha. Gotta love 2 & 3 year olds...)

Gang at the Bohon house in Roanoke.

Chad's mustache project.

(Ginnie hated it, but I thought it was kind of cool...)

Beautiful Roanoke sunset.

Grammy Shorter & Cameron

Sticky candy cane face!

Grandpa (or "Papa," as Cameron calls him) & Charlotte & Cameron on Christmas morning.

I'm hilarious!
