I should start of by saying 'sorry that I haven't posted in a couple of weeks', but trust me, I've been busy!
Things are going well here in Linden, NC. I'm settling pretty well into my new home, and falling more in love with baby Colt every day.
After my last post, my mom and aunt Gayle came for a visit. It was nice having them around, and I know that my mom feels much more relaxed now that she knows where I am living. They also brought the rest of my stuff, which has really made my room feel more like home. Hopefully I can upload some pictures in the next couple of weeks, so you can see what I've done with the place!
Since my last post, I've met quite a few of Charlotte's Army friends. We've been to Fort Bragg a couple of times, where I was able to meet some of her coworkers, and the other day, we went to visit her friend Alicia, who is the mother of one year old twins, named Olive ad Bodie. Super cute kids!
Tomorrow is my first day watching Colt alone. Charlotte is getting some much needed rest in the form of a massage! Wish me luck!!!

#nannylife
It has been almost two weeks since I arrived at my new home, and I can already feel this place turning into my home.
Things here are very different from home. First of all, there is always a little baby around. He loves to eat, listen to music, and be swaddled and swayed back and forth. He is also pretty fond of sucking on my fingers, which is the only thing that can calm him down during long car rides.
Speaking of long rides, earlier this week the three of us, plus Bella (the dog), took a two night trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was my first time visitng the ocean, so I had a lot of fun!
Apart from the ever present new born, there are many other changes that I've had to make pretty quickly: We go to bed early around here, and get up even earlier. But I feel more rested than I ever have, and the days seem to last a lot longer when I don't sleep until noon! Charlotte is also very health conscious. We eat all organinc, which is surprisiningly easy.
We went shopping at Trader Joe's yesterday, which has a lot of local organic foods. I'm excited to try out all of the things we have planned for the next couple of weeks!
Well anyways, I guess I better get to bed! My mom and Aunt Gayle are coming in two days, so I'm sure I'll post again soon!
