Picture Overload

Josh and I have been taking a lot of pictures of Charis recently, so get ready for picture overload in the next couple posts!

Playing with her dog "Brown"
(yeah, we are really creative)

Blowing bubbles
(She blows bubble-gum size bubbles with just her spit - yum!,
but she says "Ma" to do it - YEA ME!)

Yummy peaches

Notice how she always has something in her mouth?

I love my daddy!

Peas and Barf

To finish off Charis's meals we tend to give her finger food. This can be her puffs, fruit, bread, etc. Today I decided to try peas. I should have had the camera ready.
She picked one up and looked at it with skepticism. I then put one in her mouth for her. She chewed it with a pained look on her face. Then she kinda gagged - from the taste, not the texture. I was about to go grab the camera to capture this hilarious moment when she gagged again. This time she threw up the pea and some of her "Garden Vegetables."

So I guess she doesn't like peas.

Our musical child

Josh and I hope that Charis is musical. I mean she's a Huff, right? I am encouraged that she does "sing" a lot during the day. And whenever she sits in on choir practice she "sings" at the top of her lungs - I guess she wants to be heard. We plan on putting her in piano lessons with Grandma in a couple years, but you can never start too early...

Playing the djembe
(did I spell that right?)

Playing the harmonica with daddy

And "singing"
(just kidding, she is freaking out that mama left the room)

Sleepy Saturdays

So on Saturday Charis woke up at 6:15am. That was really sad. I tried laying in bed listening to her coo and talk to her bug, but she eventually started started to whine. So I pulled her out to lay in my bed (I very rarely do this). Josh was at biblestudy, so she took over his side. I then prayed desperately to the Lord that she would fall back asleep. And praise Him, she did. We woke up to daddy taking a picture of us at 8:40am. I think that is the latest I have been able to sleep in in months.

I Just Want to Make Sure She is OK

So I have these silly dreams / kinda awake times at night where I think stuff is going on, when it isn't. And it drives Josh nuts. They always have to do with Charis. Sometimes I think I hear Charis crying so I ask Josh to turn up the monitor. Other times I think she fell out of her crib, which is physically impossible for her right now. I will then ask Josh if he heard her fall. He patiently says no. But the other night it was a little more annoying.
I was in that in-between state and I thought Charis was in our bed sleeping between us. Now, I have thought this stuff before and it has kept me "up", in that kinda awake state and not fully asleep, for a while. So I have been trying to tell myself that Charis is fine and to go back to bed. But this time I wouldn't be satisfied. I began to poke her to see if she was in the bed. Well, she wasn't and I was poking Josh for a good five minutes. He eventually woke up and asked what was going on. I asked him if Charis was in the bed and he turned to me and said, "No Moriah. Charis is not in the bed." (He is so patient with me.)
I completely forgot all about it until he reminded me the next day. I simply told him I just want to make sure that she was okay... and I am sure it will happen again.

Fun in the Grass

I played in the grass with momma and nana the other day

Momma let me walk around

The dandelions were pretty fun

I wish momma would let me eat them

Picture Update

We haven't been taking as many pictures recently, but we have been getting a lot of really fun video. Maybe one of these days I will figure out how to post those. But here are some pics for your enjoyment.

After the Fun Fair at church
She has a smiley face on her cheek, which was only partially smeared.
(I actually really like this picture of us, more specifically - me!)

This took place about 30 minutes before the Barf Adventure

Charis and Daddy ready a pamphlet on the Covenants of Grace and Works

And this is where she is currently sitting while I blog, getting into everything
