Charlotte's Three Month Photos  ::

Charlotte, daddy calls you delicate like a rose petal, and I agree.  You are such a dainty little lady.  

You are getting so strong and can hold your head up high.  You also love to roll over.  If I lay you on the floor you never stay put.  Your voice is so sweet and I love the way you talk to me.  Your laugh is the most beautiful sound in the world!  You are full of smiles.  Sophia says, "Mommy baby smiling me!"  

Gracie girl we love you!

this seems to happen every month.
you are so happy and smiling until I lay you down.
