Holy Cow, it's been a long time!

Hi everyone! I'm two years old now! Can you believe it? I've gotten to be such a big girl. I can walk and talk and drive my parents crazy. I love it! I turned 2 a week and a half ago and my Mommy turned 30 yesterday. She's waaay old. I got lots of cool stuff for my birthday though. And my parents are taking me to Disney World. I'm going to meet Mickey!! I'm going to make Mommy write more stuff here, but she's been really busy this year. We moved to a new house and I really like it. I have my own room and everything. I even sleep there most of the time. I miss Grandma's house, but I go there everyday while Mommy's at work. I really miss my Papa, but I know he's watching over me and I kiss his picture every morning. I go to the doctor next week, so I'll know how big I am. Everyone tells me I'm really tall and that I look just like Mommy. She says that's why I'm so cute. Check back soon. I love you all!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello everyone! In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I am posting in green. I haven't posted since Christmas, so I have lots to tell you all. I've gotten so much bigger. Grandma says she needs a skateboard to cart me around. I can eat solid food now. YUM!! I love my food. Apples, peaches, sweet potatoes, squash and bananas. All delicious! I don't love carrots, but Mommy says I have to eat them, so I do. I can sit up all by myself now, too. It's really cool to be able to play with some toys that I couldn't when I had to lay down. I have way fun toys. Like my spinning treehouse. And my bagel stacker. I also have kitties. Kitties are the best. I love them soooo much. Milo kisses me sometimes, but Meg seems terrified of me and runs away. Loki, my big brother, kisses me all the time too. He makes my hair all wet. Mommy says he's gross, but I think he's funny. I am so happy here. I love my whole family. (But I love the kitties most!)

Merry Christmas!

Today is Christmas and I love it! This was my very first christmas and I had so much fun with my mom and dad and grandma and grandpa and aunts and uncle. I got soo much stuff. I got toys and clothes and books and even jewelery. Grandma and Grandpa got me a gold bracelet. Mommy says I have to be very careful when I wear it. Mommy got a gold bracelet too, from Daddy. It's to put charms on. He got her one that says "Mom". Cause she's my mom. I got a highchair, too. Now I can sit at the table and eat dinner like a big girl. I love it! The trees look so pretty all lit up and all the presents looked pretty wrapped. I love wrapping paper. Mom says I'm like the cat. I have my new pajamas on and I'm ready to go to bed. It's been a big day for me! I love you!

It's been a long time!

Wow, have I been busy! I am 2 1/2 months old now! Mommy says she can't believe it. She says I'm really big too. I don't know how big I'm supposed to be, I think I'm perfect the way I am. Mom helped me write my first letter to Santa. She says he brings toys to all the good babies all over the world. I figure I have been good, I can't do anything by myself yet, so if I'm bad it's Mommy's fault. She has to work during the day now, so Grandma and Grandpa watch me. I love them sooo much. Sometimes I cry when I'm with Grandpa, but it's only cause I'm hungry and he picks bad times to hold me. I have met so many people in the last 11 weeks. My grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and some of Mom and Dad's friends. I even got baptized. I don't know what that is, but I got water poured on my head. That's one of my favorite things. I love baths and getting my hair washed. I have to go now. Burt Bird needs a good talking to. I will tell you all about my first Christmas next time. We'll see what Santa brings me! I love you all very much!

Introducing...

Charlotte Gray Ruisi!! I'm finally here!! I was born on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 at 10:04 p.m. I'm a big girl, I weighed 8 pounds 12 1/2 ounces and I was 21 inches long. I've been here for a week now and I think I like this. I got to meet my dad and my grandparents and my big brother. He's really funny, his tongue is bigger than my face and he kisses me a lot! My Aunt Hera loves me a lot too. She seems to think I'm her puppy. Mommy tries to explain, but she says Hera isn't very smart. I don't care, I like the kisses. I love to cuddle and Mommy and Daddy are happy to help me out. Grandma and Grandpa love me soo much. They cuddle me and talk to me and sing to me. Everyone has told Mommy and Daddy how pretty I am. Of course I'm pretty, I look just like Mommy! I gained 7 ounces already and grew 1/2 an inch in just a week. My doctor says I'm very happy and healthy. Yay me! I love everyone in my family so much. I'm so glad I'm here!

My "Birthday"

Well, today was supposed to be my birthday, but I'm still inside Mom. I'm not sure what we're waiting for. She keeps telling me to come out, but I can't figure out how. I'm not very smart yet, you know. Mom goes to the doctor this afternoon, so I'll probably get poked and prodded some more. I don't mind when my brother pokes at me, his nose is soft. I really hope I get to come out and meet all of you very soon. It's getting cramped and boring in here.

My busy day

Wow did I have a busy day yesterday! My mom had a doctors appointment and was going to take Grandpa and me out to breakfast (yum!) after, but they told her she had to go to the hospital. I guess her blood pressure was high. I don't know what that means, but apparently it was my fault. hehehe, I like to make trouble. So we went to the hospital and they hooked Mom up to monitors and took some of her blood. I didn't like the monitors, they squished me. So I kicked at them. That made Mom laugh, which shook me up and made me move, and then they had to move the monitors again to find me. Dad keeps telling me to pack my bags and get ready to get out, but I don't know. I like it in here. I only have a few more days of cozy comfort, and I'm going to enjoy them! The hospital was nice though. Moms nurse brought her ginger ale and ice and anything she wanted, and Dad stayed right with her and talked to us. I love his voice. Next time I write, maybe I'll be able to tell you what I can see, cause I'll be born! I'll miss my cozy house though.
