Charli. She's full of it. We call her a ham all the time, because that is exactly what she is. This kid loves attention. Loves to get it and give it. She squeals and screams and smiles and grabs. She's so happy as long as she is being loved on or loving on someone. And trust me there is no lack of love around here. Shes a people person, a social butterfly. The only down side is we really have to work hard on alone time. Laying in her crib and going to sleep by herself, playing in her swing or chair by herself or being in a play pen. All of those are ok if someone is right there with her but don't you dare walk off to get something done. No ma'am, its Charli time all the time! She's spoiled rotten and I love her for it. Things can wait, babies only stay little for so long.

| Getting there |
Doctors appointments are going great. Not to many since the last post since we only see most of them every 3 months now. She had her head ultrasound and saw the neurosurgeon Monday and her cyst it still staying stable. We will have another US and appt in 3 months. Her head circumference is staying in the normal curve. All good news PTL! We has an audiology appointment a few weeks ago and hearing is great! The reason we so that is because she had gentamicin in the NICU and it can cause hearing problems. Shes had two tests so far and have passed both wonderfully. Although I could tell you she has good hearing because she can hear you coming down the hall while she's sleeping with her sound machine on ;) We go to hematology, neurology, and endocrinologist in the next two weeks so I will have an update on those next month.
Charli is still eating really good and now she is doing so well with the cereal I think we will start baby foods soon. Im thinking about pureeing my own. Any moms out there do this? Is it worth it? So again next month we should have some great pictures of baby food faces! Oh and she's almost 13 pounds!
She had her picture taken for the Children's Classic for the Covington Leader so if you live in the Tipton County area make sure to pick your paper up and don't miss it! I must say her picture is pretty stinking cute.
And I leave you with more pictures!
