What's A Scherbel?: Hold Still

Hold Still

Today I tried to take pictures of Charlotte and Isabel but they weren't as cute as I was hoping for. I all the pictures where Charlotte is looking at the camera Isabel is falling down or has fallen down. Charlotte is not used to holding someone up so is kept moving around to keep Iz up. Oh well I guess at I took some pictures and as you can tell by the lok on Charlotte's face she thinks it is pretty cool to hold her sister.

What's New With Charlotte

Wow..Charlotte has been busy. Her new favorite pasttime is digging holes in the yard or just taking it easy sitting on the curb. She will spend all day outside if you let her.
......................................................
If you even say 'bellybutton' when Miss C is around she will point to her neck (she has a oneise on so she can't lift up her shirt) Then she will want to see yours. She has become a little obessed, we are starting to work on other body parts.
............
Charlotte is learning her shapes. I think circles are her favorite. She can always find a circle. We watch Baby Newton (the baby einstein about shapes) And when she see a shape she goes to her shape poster to point to a shape. So clever this girl!
........
So helpful lately....Charlotte loves to help me around the house. She helps me throw away her diapers, she helps pick up toys (they don't stay away very long, but she tries) she loves to put the clothes into the washing machine. And when we get new diapers she loves to put them away. Picture this: 200 diapers and Charlotte putting them away, one by one.
..........
Charlotte has been playing with a baby doll lately. She likes to take its clothes off and rocking her. I asked if the baby needed a nap and Charlotte tried to drop her in her crib.
.............
This one isn't new, Charlotte has been running away at first sight or mention of a diaper. She runs aways so fast that her little tummy almost leaves the rest of her behind. Why doesn't she want a clean diaper?
...........
I swear Charlotte wakes up some day s and decides that she is going to master something that day. For example one day she seems very determined to climb without anyone's assistance. She will try to climb into the bathtub, out of the bathtub, up into the highchair, onto the couch out of her bed. She hasn't succeeded ---YET. She also has days when she does a lot of walking backwards, it is more of a waggle then a walk, but she is one focused little girl.
*****
Charlotte has an alphabet poster on her door, we have been teaching her what the pictures are by saying "baby, car, fish, etc" and pointing the the object on the poster. We were really focusing on baby yesterday but she kept pointing to the fish. This morning I got her out of her crib and she walked right over to the poster and said something with two 'B's and pointed to the baby!!!!!!! And we thought Hazel was going to the smart one and Charlotte was going to be the muscle.

Charlotte is flicking her tongue to make a, well a flicking sound, if she isn't talking she is normally making that sound. A little creepy, I will try to get it on video.
..........................................................................................................
Charlotte can now spin on command (if there is music on)
........................................................................................................
After mastering the toe tapping, she then started walking backward. Only two words...A Natural. She never even stumbles.
......................................................................................................
Charlotte is always learning to do something new. Aunt Amanda has taught her to tap her toe. It is more of a foot stomp, but she has heavy legs. Whenever she hears music you can almost see the nerves sending the signal from the brain to the leg, down to the foot.
