All Hail Queen Charlotte!

If we lived in a kingdom, Charlotte would be our Queen. She pull's the strings, she's the head honcho, the big cheese. She pretty much determines how each particular day is gonna go and we hope that she takes it easy on us. She is a complete opposite baby than Ayden was. Ayden was SO easy going, he would pretty much only cry when he was hungry and then just hang out till it was time to eat again. Charlotte is NOT this way at all. She does not like to be put down and want's to be held ALL DAY LONG. In my arm's she is totally calm, as soon as I set her down she will scream at the top of her lungs. She is a turkey! Things actually have been getting better, in the past few day's she is naturally starting to get on a schedule. I was waiting until she was a little bit older to start her on a schedule but it seems to be working out sooner than I thought. The past 3 day's she has been on her eat, play, sleep 3 hour cycle and it's working out GREAT! She has only been waking up once a night to eat (I do feed her around 11 before I go to bed). I'm so happy to finally be on a schedule and know better what the day will look like.

I feel like I'm just getting out of a fog! Adjusting to 2 kids has been crazy! Adjusting to Charlotte has been fairly easy, adjusting to Charlotte AND Ayden not so much! I feel a little outnumbered and overwhelmed most of the time! I don't know how you people with more than one child do it! Seriously, it's crazy! Hehe, other than the craziness and my inability to think straight life is pretty good! I am SO excited for the fall season and can't wait for all the fun holiday's!

We went to Tucson about a week ago and my wonderful sister took some pictures of Charlotte for us! Charlotte was grumpy, awake, had baby dandruff, and a goopy eye but somehow my sister got some amazing pics! Here are some of my favorite's, it was so hard to choose just a few!

(And in case you were wondering, I do realize that I have another child and will share some pics and what's going on with Ayden in the next post :))

Any new baby is an adjustment especially if they just want to be held :) Carsten was the same way drove me crazy sometimes but enjoy it they grow sooo fast!! I LOVE all the pictures! They all turned out so cute!

Those pictures are absolutely beautiful! She is so sweet! Well, you were just spoiled with Ayden for sure! Now you know how Tiff & I felt with Brittlee & Madison. :) And now I know how you felt with Ayden! Two was the hardest for me. Three and now four haven't been bad at all cuz I have older kids to help (and Briggs & Josie were/are fairly easy babies). Time flies, so try to enjoy it!

She is so adorable! AHH

Also, I'm very scared for my next child. I know they won't be easy going like camden is and I won't even know what to do with TWO kids PLUS a grumpier baby than I'm used to.

Yay for cute pictures!! It IS a huge adjustment, but once they get out of the baby baby stage it gets MUCH easier. Trust me! I bet things will calm down a lot now that she's getting on a routine. That always helps. I heard about the house, yay!! Congrats!

What a cutie! You see all these people with a ton of kids, but just thinking about having two makes me worry that I will NEVER sleep again! Your little girl is a doll though, and I'm glad she's getting on a schedule.
