On my own & 5 months....

I finally got around to making my girls some matching skirts. I LOVE how they turned out and Alex wants to wear hers every day. Cam says I need to start making ALL their clothes to save money, I say NO way, it would take the fun out of making them something fun every once in awhile.
In this picture Alex was afraid Charlie was going to fall, but I had to post it because we rarely get a picture of Charlie looking at the camera.
This little girl has turned 5 months! It's been a fun ride so far. Some things Chuck is doing....
-rolling ALL over
-talks to the ceiling fans all day
-LOVES when Alex comes home from school
-becoming daddy's little girl (finally)
-happy happy most of the time
-eating oatmeal cereal
-trying to get her legs up to crawl
-squeals and squeals at her brother Jake when he dances for her
-losing her dark hair :( but new blonde coming in!
-serenades us at 3:00 in the morning
-says ba ba ba (I think it might be the beginning of Grandpa ;)

We couldn't love Charlie more, she makes all of our family so much happier and we can't wait for more fun changes to come!

Mandy, the skirts are so cute. What a great talent you have! Can't believe just how fast Charlie is growing. Can't wait til next month!

Thank goodness for ETSY so I can buy cute things like those skirts from amazing, talented women like you!! You have such great taste in fabric too!! Anytime you have a little left over and want Emma to match her cousins, feel free. I can't believe Charlie is 5 months except that Emma's first year went by so fast I could hardly believe it. Must be the third child. She is gorgeous . . . those eyes!! Love you and looking forward to next month!!

Super cute. It was fun catching up on your blog. I hope that your family is doing well! It's crazy how big the kids are getting.

So cute! I agree with Cam though, because you can't buy clothes that cute at the store.

Those skirts are so cute. I was just thinking yesterday that I need to start making some cute skirts for my girls and you've inspired me-- I'm off to The Gathering Place... We miss you guys. Karson was asking the other day if he'd ever see Alex again. Are you going to be around after Christmas? We'll be in AZ on Dec. 28-Jan. 1st.
