All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

Dearest Charlotte,

I love you to bits! You're seriously the best baby. I mean, you could barf all over me and cry all day and I'd still be happy to be your mommy. Here's a picture from today:

"All dressed up and no where to go."
(Right) I love your frowny face. By the way, I really like this outfit, even though you threw up all over it a short while later. I had specifically searched out a yellow shirt to match your new, bright yellow diaper cover. (We're trying some from a different, less expensive brand to see how we like them and expand our stash.) 

(Left) I put this toy together today for you. We have had this toy for a while, but I didn't know if you'd be able to appreciate it until now. Even now, it looked like you were afraid the toys were suddenly going to fall into your face. Oops? I promise you, though, I put them on there as securely as possible. Wouldn't want something hurting my little girl! Try to ignore the fact that you're in a disposable diaper in this picture *gasp!* Your "Poppi" was watching you, and he hasn't figured his way around your cloth diapers yet. He specifically purchased some disposables for when you dirty your diaper and he's watching you. It was actually kinda sweet!

Heck, I'm having fun with pictures. 

This is you sleeping away in our new Easycare Rainbow Baby woven wrap. I love the description of the wrap from the website:

"A beautiful splash of color for any mother, a celebration of the astonishing beauty found in nature, and a symbol of love.

The idea of this wrap is a tribute to the strength of a mother who can brave terrible loss to find hope and joy again, whatever shape that loss took, whenever it happened, no matter what it was that brought the return of hope and happiness.

'The beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm . . . What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds.'"


You are our rainbow baby, so this is perfect. It's actually a full rainbow but I had it folded in half in this picture.

I love wrapping you and keeping you close to me! In fact, there was a tornado warning last night. The spotters were saying the funnel clouds were only 9 miles away, and immediately I got up, wrapped you up on me, grabbed your diaper bag, and went downstairs. I loved having my hands free if I needed them. Thankfully, the storm let up just slightly and was just severe winds, rain, etc, but I was glad to have that experience.

I think I'll end this post with this adorable picture of you looking off into the distance. Your eyelashes are killer!

Sincerely,
Mommy.
