1st Easter

Charlotte had another 'first' over the Easter weekend. She went to her first church service and I'm happy to say that she was a little angel for the whole time! We were prepared to whisk her out the door if she started to make a fuss but she did great.

The Easter Bunny made a stop at our house too for Charlie. She got a little stuffed animal, some headbands and some candy. The candy just happens to be kinds that Owen and I like so we are in luck! As you can tell from Charlotte's expression she was shocked that the Easter Bunny remembered her.

We went over to my brother's place for Easter dinner and had a great time. Melanie did an awesome job with the meal...I'm still stuffed! Charlotte got to play with her two older cousins, Bailey and Austin. Bailey kept Charlotte entertained by showing Charlotte her toys.

Charlotte had her 6 month doctor's visit on Tuesday and he said that she is doing great! Not only is she doing great for her corrected age of 4 months but she is even doing well for her actual age. She is now 14 lbs. and 26 inches. We got the green light to start mixing some rice cereal in her formula. Once she can handle that we'll start spoon feeding her the cereal...she is growing up so fast!

Charlotte doesn't really understand Easter yet but she does know that the Easter Bunny is coming. I took her to meet the Easter Bunny today and as you can tell from the picture, she was really impressed.

Opening Day!

Opening Day is finally here! We were all pumped for it yesterday but Mother Nature had different plans. This year the Sox have another fan in little Charlie. If she screams for them as loud as she does at 3am they will do great this year! Owen is at the game today but we had to take a picture of Daddy and daughter in their Sox gear.

Even though Charlotte will not be at the actual game we are trying to make her first Opening Day as authentic as possible!



















Post Game Show -- In case you missed it, the Sox won their first game of the 2009 season 4-2 over the K.C. Royals. It was a bit chilly while tailgating but for those of us who braved the weather, we saw a great game. Opening Day is one of my favorite days of the year as I know I get to look forward to 6 months of Sox baseball!! Now onward for the White Sox quest to bring another World Championship to Chicago and the South Side! -- Owen

It has been a busy week at the Burritt household. Owen's birthday was on Wednesday and Charlotte turned 6 months old on Friday.

Charlotte and I started taking and infant massage class too. When we went for Charlotte's 3 month follow up with the NICU they suggested the massage class as a way to loosen up Charlotte's muscles. The NICU feels that they are a little ridged and the massage class could help. It is a fun class and it is also great bonding time with Charlotte.
