She Can't Possibly Be a Toddler Already?

Where did the time go? Already Charlie is only a few days away from being 6-months old. Beck and I are now giving her multiple (small) servings of rice cereal, vegetables, and fruits... in addition to her milk. Beck told me this morning, "in another couple months, she'll be eating some of our food."

I almost fell to the floor! "No way," I told her. And then I read the Gerber website and the Baby Center website. What do you know?

A couple weeks ago, she was rolling over every few days. Now, she rolls over every couple of minutes. Front to back, back to front, side to side. You name it.

She is pushing herself backwards very slightly now, when she's on her tummy. I'm sure it'll be just a few weeks before she's crawling full speed. Hoepfully, she not near as quick as her cousin Maddie (from Oregon). Now she was like a little race car when she crawled. I'm sure my old bones won't be able to keep up with Charlie if she's half as fast as Maddie was!

We were looking at pictures last night of one of Charlie's other cousins Kate when she was a baby and a toddler. It was like seeing time-lapse photography! I'm going to scan one of my favorite Kate pics in just so every can see how similar they look.

My sister-in-law's Mom told me when she saw Charlotte for the first time, "She sure is a Davis girl!" When you see the picture, you'll know what she meant.

I'm sure the resemblance has more to do with the fact that my brother and I look almost like twins. Years ago, we were golfing together and a guy in our foursome asked if we were twins, and Jim said, "We are, just had a 5 year justation period for Ed!"

So much fun to see those pictures though... We even saw some resemblance between Charlie and her cousin Micah!
