Big Week for Charlotte!

In preparation for Charlotte turning the big "2" we had her two year doctor's appointment today. In typical Charlotte fashion, she kept her eyes covered for the walk from the parking garage, the check in process and getting to the room. Imagine a two year old walking to a patient room with her eyes covered with both hands...it was pretty funny! She is doing great and she is "ahead developmentally." Of course!! The Dr. pointed to a few things and asked her what color they were or what shape they were and Charlotte nailed it! It was so funny...she was standing on the scale and the Dr was trying to measure her height by putting the thing close to her head and Charlotte kept looking up and screwing up the measurement. So, I pointed at the numbers on the scale and said, "Charlotte...look here, what's that" in an effort to get her to look straight ahead. The Dr looked at me and said, "If she knows her numbers too...I would be REALLY impressed." I laughed and said, "No..I was just trying to get her to stop looking up." The only thing we need to work on is trying to get her to eat more vegetables.

Nate is doing wonderful...as opposed to Charlotte, he IS eating plenty of vegetables. He loves squash, carrots, peas. He also loves fruit...his favorite is fresh mango and prunes with apples (we feed him that for obvious reasons). He is crawling all over the place now. He is hard to keep up with. He's doing better about sleeping at night. He slept 8 hours last night even with the storm.

We should have some fun posts coming up with all of the birthday celebrations ahead!
