Charlotte is six months old now and can eat "solid" food. That really means watery oatmeal or rice cereal. But she was obviolusly ready because she gobbles it down. She never took to a bottle, so now Dad can finally take care of Charlotte's hunger instead of Mom being tied to her every 2-3 hours. Charlotte is also sitting up better all the time. Today she sat in the grass with a bare foot while we were waiting to put her footprint in the fresh concrete. She was fascinated with the feel of the grass. And she didn't even eat any.
Audrey is cute as ever and has been having a great time helping Dad dig in the back yard doing the ground work for the garage. She has her own shovel. Audrey has taken ownership of the phrase "I need...". "I need playground!" "I need Grandma!" "I need juice!" Or sometimes just, loudly, "I need, I need, I need!" Actually, it's wonderful that she can now tell us what she needs or wants.
Carol and my fifth wedding anniversary was yesterday. We've been so busy with the garage that we both forgot. Carol got a "Congratulations" card from her mother and had to think for a minute what it was for, then she came and told me. I pointed to the back yard and said, "Happy Anniversary!" At least we both forget, so no one has to feel guilty.
