Charlotte is 3 1/2 months old now and generally sleeping through the night (as long as 8 hours sometimes!). That's a treat, especially for Carol. Charlotte seems to have come through her slight colic-y phase and is usually pretty happy these days. She still doesn't like to be left in a position where she can't see any action.
Audrey is doing well. She's very kind to Charlotte; she gives Vegas to Charlotte when Charlotte is upset. Audrey is talking a lot more (or at least a lot more in English) and is starting to put together real sentences. Her vocabulary is increasing rapidly. It's very nice that Audrey is starting to be able to ask for what she needs. Of course, her favorite word hasn't changed: "No!"
We've been making up for the social life we haven't had since Charlotte was born. In the last two weeks we've had several groups of friends over for meals and have gone out a few times with other friends. Our friends Barry and Rabih turned us on to a Greek restaurant (Vios) that is very kid friendly - it has a nice play area within view of the tables so we can eat and socialize and Audrey can play the whole time while we keep an eye on her.
I continue to bike to work most days and I've started getting out most weekends for the Saturday morning group ride I've enjoyed for several years. Carol is enjoying our new YMCA membership and she has signed up to do the Danskin Triathlon again in August with some friends.
Carol and I count our blessings every day. We feel extremely fortunate.
