Ruth and Stephen's baby blog

Charlotte is nearly 6 months old now, and is growing more lovely by the day. You can see her here with her best friend and big sister, Elizabeth. They love playing together and are always happy to be around each other.

Charlotte can move around well on the floor, although mostly backwards. She can play with toys and pick them up, amke a few different sounds and will follow us around the room with her head. We have just started feeding her "solids" and she loves them. If we are eating she will lean towards us and try to steal our food.

She loves sitting up and looking around at whatever is happening. She is a bit easier to get off to sleep than Elizabeth, and sleeps through the night about half the time. They are really quite different girls in looks and personality, although both are equally wonderful. I'm optimistic that Charlotte will also be Daddy's girl!!
