Three crazy kids!

8 Months Old!

Charlotte you are 8 months old today!



What are you up to?
- You are starting to commando crawl

- You LOVE your baby food and star snacks, and you've already started to get the signature orange nose from all the sweet potatoes and carrots you eat.

- You are quite vocal. You are saying da,da and screaming all sorts of baby sounds.

- Your favorite toys are your noisy baby balls, your crunchy cows and anything that your sister or brother have.

- One of the highlights of your day is when Daddy comes home from work.

- You have started throwing parties in your crib around 4am. You don't cry. You just laugh and yell. Thank goodness you do go back to sleep after about 15 minutes.

- Just like your sister and brother you still don't have any teeth or signs that they are coming anytime soon.

Trier

We had a fabulous time in Trier on Saturday. Instead of looking for the sun to walk in (like we were in February) we were looking for shade. A wonderful ice cream helped us stay cool. The beautiful weather also meant there were a lot more people there. The drive up to Trier was gorgeous with all the beautiful trees changing color. I would have loved to take a picture of the colorful scenery, but Steve was driving too fast. :)

Oktoberfest Parade in Otterbach!

It's Oktoberfest time in Germany, and our village has a parade every year to kick off the festivities.
