6 Months Old (Thats half a whole year!)

I was running ahead of schedule this morning for Charli's 6 month health check. So with 15 minutes up my sleeve, I decided a costume change could indeed be performed...and heck why not a nappy change while i'm at it. Once the nappy came off, I saw the beginnings of nappy rash so out came the blow dryer. While I was blowing away, Chari bear gave me the biggest grin and decided now would be the ideal time for a pee. Yes pee went absolutely everywhere. It was blown all over Charli (tip to toe), the change table, the floor and there was nothing but giggles (and wee everywhere)  followed by the worlds quickest bucket bath. Needless to say, we were late.
