Wow.. how time flies. Charlotte is already 12.5 weeks old... almost 3 months old! She has grown heaps. Not sure what she weighs now.. keep forgetting to weigh her at the chemist every time we go shopping. Will have to remember next time.

In general, Charlotte is sleeping much better these days. Usually waking up once or twice during the night. Almost had her sleeping through.. but this week, it has been a little up and down. Still, can't complain, she is still a better sleeper than Isabella was at the same age.

Charlotte is smiling heaps, and loves to look at herself in the mirror. Have also started putting her in the jolly jumper to make use of those strong legs of hers. We take her out of it when her head starts to hang from her still developing neck muscles. Still she enjoys being in it as it is something new. We have also put her in her Bumbo seat once or twice, but her back muscles need a little more developing.

Here's Charlotte in her Bumbo

And here in her Jolly Jumper

Christmas is fast approaching. Already we have a heap of things for Isabella. And since she has so many things already, there is no need to really get anything for Charlotte, as she will have lots of things from Isabella, all still in good condition.

In preparation for Christmas, I have already made up some photobooks for presents, and of course our traditional personalised Christmas cards with our family photo. This year, we decided to also use the photo we had done with Santa from the local shopping centre. As it is a surprise cards for some of families and friends, I will put the pictures up later... that is, after Christmas. Don't want to spoil the surprise.
