Charlie 15mos

Charlie is 15 months old this week and he had his well-baby checkup on Monday.

Weight: 24lbs 14oz (55%)

Height: 32.25in (85%)

Head: 19 3/8in (92%)

I have been horrible about pictures and updates lately, but make sure to check out my youtube account (link is on the left side of the blog) because I try to be pretty good about posting videos. Here's one from today:

Everything checked out great at the doc. Charlie is pretty much on target for his age. And even though I FEEL like he is speech delayed, the doctor tells me that I need to stop comparing him to his older sister. He is actually right there with all the other boys his age. :) A side note from the doc- she says she can predict with almost 100% accuracy that Charlie will be over 6ft tall. We'll see what actually happens!

Ella plays soccer!

Ella started soccer this fall. It's a program for kids 4 and under. No practices and 6 "games" the whole season. Sign me up! Here's some pictures from Ella's 1st day.

First Day of School

Ella and Charlie both had their first day of school on Tuesday, September 13th. There were a few tears but both kids love school and there are hardly any tears in the mornings now.

This is Charlie's first time ever attending school. He is in the youngest class at Hope (the 1 year old room) and he is the youngest kid in his class. He only goes 1 day a week, Tuesday from 9:30a-1:30p, and his teachers are Ms. Jen and Ms. Gina. So far he seems to really love his class and is actually starting to try and talk! Maybe its because most of the other kids in his class are talking!!

This is Ella's 2nd year at Hope Preschool and her 3rd year in a school program. Ella attends school Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-1:30 and her teachers this year are Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Rich.
