The Rainy Season

Of course Seattle is known for its rainy weather, but its usually not as true as the myth. This winter, however, we are living up to it. Rain, rain, rain. I picked a great month to start bike commuting to work.

Audrey turns 2 this week. Her brain has really kicked into high gear lately. She learns new words every day and surprises us all the time by saying the name of some object we didn't know she'd ever heard before. It's amazing to watch.

Charlotte passed 9 weeks yesterday. She's been smiling more and more and babbling at us. All she wants to do is eat, which is a little tiring for Mom. She was in the 90th percentile for weight at her last checkup! Brave Aunt Tricia babysat yesterday while Carol and I did an errand. Apparently Charlotte cried the whole time until a minute before we got home. Poor Tricia!

We signed up for a family membership at the local YMCA. The membership includes childcare for both kids while Carol uses the Y, so Carol is looking forward to getting some exercise again and a break from the kids 2-3 times a week.

I have a lot of respect for what Carol does. She has a much harder job than me, I think.
