Much to report!
We have been remiss in updating the website, mostly because the henhouse is always busy! The girls have had a great month, both in big events and development.
Speaking of big events, cousin Michaela Elizabeth Vennell Roberts has arrived! She was born on March 25 after a marathon labor (Nicole is a TROOPER) and according to Nana and PopPop has the same Towne nose and chin as Charlotte. Kara can't wait until this weekend to see for herself.
Grandma and Grandpa Cooper made the northeastern rounds earlier in March and had a great couple of days with the girls.
The girls took a trip to Connecticut to A. see Nana and PopPop over spring break and B. get out of Aaron's hair so he could continue his tradition of painting at least two rooms in the house. Julia got her very first tricycle, which only took about an hour and one cut finger (not hers) to put together.
Charlotte changes everyday and is now cruising on furniture and climbing up the stairs. Her nine month check-up went well and she is still a skinny minny--now in the 16th %ile for weight. We find this to be very mysterious in that she eats all of us under the table at every meal. To wit, Aaron made pancakes last weekend and the final tally was Julia: 2; Charlotte: 16. That is not a typo.
Julia has started a once-weekly pre-school program through a local high school's Child Development elective. She is slowly adjusting to being away from home and loves going to the library with her buddy Jane to pick out a book. She loves to do things "all by mySELF" including getting dressed, giving herself a bath and helping put away dishes and the laundry. Her hourly rates are being read to and Elmo juice boxes.
The girls have a great time together and we love watching them figure each other out and hope they will always have this much fun.
