big sister



Especially when looking at some older pictures from the last months -- as we catch you up on our adventures... you will notice that Charlotte has definitely lost her baby looks and traded them in for some unruly goldie locks!

And after hanging in there and patiently growing her wispy hair for two years [sporting a mullet for quite a while] she's actually excited to be wearing pig tails now -- frequently asking Mama to
"do her hair" since mid-July.

So Charlotte is a big girl now, and ready to be a big sister too!!

For months, she's already wanted to "HAVE the baby" -- only to always hear that it still has to grow a bit and isn't ready to leave Mama's belly just yet.

Now that we tell her the baby is coming very soon, she wants to alternately "hold, kiss, hit, hug and poke" it. With the promise of such stormy sisterly love, the baby hasn't decided yet whether to make a due date appearance. Compared to our busy bee, we might have a more laid-back character this second time around... or, the baby simply does not follow German heritage and convention to be punctual.
