Was a lot of fun! It was an interesting experience going as a single mom. Everyone had to park at the fairgrounds and ride a shuttle over. It was charlottes first time one a school bus! The hard part was carrying her, her bag, the picnic blanket, and her stroller onto the bus at once, by myself. Not to be a jerk, but I really wanted to punch all the happy families, not because they looked so happy, but because they had four hands. What I wouldn't give for an extra set of hands! We did make it on the bus, getting off was harder, and I was shocked no one helped me, if you see a lady struggling, and you have your hands free, help her. It's nice.
I had never been to a festival like this but it was worth it! So much fun! We got to walk around, sit with friends, and watch the amazing balloons! We even got to walk through one! They are so big it's amazing! When it got dark they all lit up at the same time and called it the balloon glow! So neat! The shuttle back to the parking lot was much better, the bus driver was a gentleman and out the stroller on the bus for me:) we got home after bedtime, and let me tell you, this kid was exhausted!! She crawled all over turf valley!!
Saturday was another busy day! We went to swim class and play partners in the morning and an evening walk together! We also made blue berry muffins together! Blue berries are her favorite food. She is such a happy baby!
Sunday we went to the arbutus arts festival, something I've been going to forever! Charlotte had her first funnel cake ever, and waved at lots of random strangers! We played lots of games in the afternoon together and enjoyed just being at home for once!
Charlotte is growing and changing everyday! Her top teeth finally came through!! Super tiny and can barely see them, but I'm happy for her that they did come through! She is 11 months old now! Crazy crazy! She is in love with any toy that nests and stacks. She is so smart!! She loves puzzles as well. Swinging is probably her favorite thing, always happy in a swing! She has a hard time playing by herself these days, constantly wants to be with you! She will crawl to whatever you she wants, then carry/push/roll over to you, then pull herself up and sit herself into your lap and play with it in your lap! She is so funny like that. She is very particular about things and easily gets frustrated and upset when she isn't getting what she wants or is having a hard time communicating. She will be walking any day now for sure! She loves to walk with you by holding hands and is so proud of herself when she does it! sometimes she refuses to crawl, would rather walk! She can stand on her own now Without holding onto anything longer and longer each day! she is adventurous, but not fearless! she could def walk if she wanted too, but she gets so unsure of herself! she took a few steps from on couch to the other the other day and it was awesome and her face was priceless! it is so hard to believe she is almost a year old! Time flies so quickly! It's so bittersweet! I miss my sweet little peanut love bug, but have loved watching her grow and change, and very much look forward to our future!
