Our Wild Cavegirl Can't Sit Still!

Playtime is ALL the time for Charlotte. Now that she's an expert crawler, she refuses to sit still. She has a real zest for life, and is constantly exploring her world.

Since moving around is so much fun, probably her least favorite thing to do now, is to get her diaper or clothes changed. She will not lie down, so it usually takes both Mom and Dad to keep her safe while we keep her clean and dry.

We recently started using the medium sized covers for our cloth diapers (at least at night). They are so big on her, especially her nighttime cover, the leopard-print fleece shown in these pictures. These pictures were taken just so we could remember when these were too big for her, since we know she will grow into them soon enough!

She looks like a little cavebaby, and it turns out these couldn't be more appropriate attire for our wild little girl. You can see Dad holding her back from literally jumping off the changing table!

Charlotte got her first real injury this week. She loves to pull herself up on the furniture and cruise around and see what she can reach from this new vantage point.

While she was practicing her solo standing technique, she lost her balance and hit her cheek on the edge of an end table. You can see where she cut herself near her right eye. POOR BABY!
But as you can see, she's not going to let a little setback slow her down!

She wants to stand up and climb all over the place - and the changing table is so exciting for her. She can reach the top of the dresser, grab anything in sight and pull it to herself or onto the floor. Even though it gets frustrating, it's hard to be mad at someone who finds so much delight in the most mundane things!

These huge diapers make her legs look so short - and forget about putting pants on over this one! She looks so cute crawling around, especially when she is wearing her little ponytails. These pictures are just after bathtime, so it's just clean fluffy hair.
