Making some noise!

I'm not sure how to describe it, maybe its buzzing your lips or blowing bubbles, making a fart noise or a motorboat noise. But I think all kids do it at some point. I know the little 6 month old or so boy in Church does it every Sunday.

Charlotte did it for the first time tonight. And it wasn't just the fact that she did it that we are so excited about, it was the fact that I did it joking around and then she copied me. I was shocked and very excited because she is so smart! She learned, just from watching and listening to us, how to make a noise! Better really start watching the language!

Easter Sunday

The highlight of our Easter was taking Charlotte out of the car seat during Mass. I unbuckled her, pressed her against my chest, held her under her bottom, and we walked to the front of the church together. She received a blessing and I received Communion.

This was a bid deal for us. Church was very full. It was good to see so many people celebrating Easter, but it was a little challenging for us. We normally like to sit in the very back-the section reserved for families with children- but we decided to humor my parents by sitting in the middle. We probably won't do it again. Coughs erupted from all around us, the child behind us kept rocking Charlotte in her car seat, and the family in front of us brought lunch! Long story short, we made it through Mass. It was a very nice service and it wasn't too long!

We had Easter dinner in the early afternoon with my mom and dad, then swung by their new house, and we wrapped up our day with a little opening night baseball! Charlotte sat in my lap for the first three innings of the Yankees and Red Sox and I told her everything that she needed to know about the game. I hope she loves the game! I will do my best to teach her why it is the most aesthetic game in the world!
