What? They’re only four months late.
Oh, y’all. Our little blob. So neglected. All these children in my lap, and all this laundry. Pottytraining. Et-setra, et-setra. And to save the life of my sad little laptop, Joey just blew away all the pictures I had on here. Don’t get mad at him, I asked him to do that. Anything and everything I did on this computer would blow its little mind, and make it run so hot it would burn my lap, and that is why we lightened its load by getting rid of all the pictures. So, I’ll just have to go use another computer whenever I have the time and energy to make a picture post. But not this one. This one, see, is a link to a Flickr set. Of pictures Martine took of Charlie when she was 8 days old. 8 days old! What?! Now she’s ginormous (16lb 4oz at 4 month checkup) and grabbing things and shoving them in her mouth, getting ready to scarf food from the table. And I’ll get around to more recent pictures sometime. But for now, please marvel with me at how tiny she was, how helpless, how ittybitty. I’m not sure how I avoided eating her whole. But I did, and now she’s too big. So I guess she’s safe.

I just want to pinch her cheeks! Miss her and you guys too. It’ll have to wait for another day.

She is not only gorgeous, but also delicious. I remember when we were 18 and having talks of wanting yummy-ish babies. Wow–16 years later–and here we are. Ours are way better than those Anne Geddes babes. If I do say so myself. And I just did.
They’re still yummy when they’re 7.5 and almost-4. Like when they say such as this: Mommy, I just tooted and shooo-weeeeee! But it was just a toot and not shadoobie. EXCUSE MEEEEEEE!
Love her little almost-4 year old heart. She is SO my child.

Kelly, those are amazing and so precious. You’ll cherish those forever. They should be on baby websites and picture ads and stuff.

Last night during our Bluegrass jam someone picked Rolly Polly to sing. It was fun and reminded me of Charlie and her fat thighs.
