Charlotte (Charly) was born on January 14 at 10:24 (i think). She weighed a whopping 8 lbs. 9 ozs (which is bigger than any of my babies). She is beautiful! I.Am.In.Love. I had no idea how instantly I would fall in love with this darling little one. I didn't see her until she was a week old when I flew out to Virginia, and when I set eyes on her, it was love at first sight! She had a little bit of a rough start and was dehydrated and ended up in the ER just the day after she got home. She was a little human pin cushion but she took it like a champ.
I had a wonderful two weeks with Holli, Matt and Charly. We didn't do much but take care of the baby, all of us! I forgot how much work they are when they are first born. But I loved it! Every minute of it, even at 12:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 6:00 a.m. LOL I tried to memorize everything I could about her to tide me over for a few months. Being a long distance "Nana" will be challenging. There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss my little Charly, but I have some great ideas for keeping us close! And the good news is that Matt's sister Nikki, was kind enough to choose to be married in Salt Lake in April so Matt, Holli and Charly will be here for a visit and we will be blessing her in our ward! How great will that be?! Both sets of families here to honor and love that little girl! I can't wait!
Holli made this cute flower on Charly's headband. So much fun to accessorize!
Brinn Willis (Holli's friend) did a fabulous photo shoot with Charly and her parents.

I took a "few" pictures too!
Love the boppy! Holli made two interchangeable covers so they can be washed when one gets dirty...
Sooooo tired!
The happy family
