Sitting Up

Charlie sat up today. He has been trying for a few weeks, but today he made it on his own for at least 5 minutes. I think we have reached a milestone. No real tripoding either - just straight sitting. I think he was proud of himself.

Teething

Charlie is teething. He fusses a lot and chews on everything in site. Nanny tried to calm him down by reading to him the other night. He looked really interested in the book, but really, he was trying to figure out how to get it in his mouth. It worked for about 10 minutes of quiet.

Easter

Happy Easter! Kate and Charlie enjoyed an Easter visit from both of their grandmothers this year. We took a few pictures after the church service. All Kate wanted to do was spin around in her Cinderella dress. She felt beautiful in the dress Aunt Katherine wore 30 years ago. Nanny made it by hand, and it is just as beautiful today. Kate didn't understand much about Easter this year - I tried to explain, but I don't think a whole lot got through. The only thing I know made an impression were the candy-filled eggs in her Easter basket. If anyone has any bright ideas on explaining Easter to a toddler, please feel free to share.
