word·smith·ery

She looks pretty reserved right here, but don't be fooled! This 17-month-old knows up to 60 words! According to one website I looked at, an 18-month-old usually has a vocabulary of approximately 5-20 words. Yes, she's a genius.

We are proud to be the aunt and uncle of Charlotte, regardless of her speech skills. It's really quite awe inspiring to watch a tiny baby grow into a little person. To think that she has a life ahead of her, full of possibilities and surrounded by people who will encourage her to be nobody but Charlotte... it's exciting and humbling. So, Charlotte, we say to you: We love you and we look forward to hearing more about juice, milk, Nana, Grampa, Grammie, Sophie, Icky and all the rest. And Andrew doesn't mind that you call him Amy, and Amy doesn't mind either. And way to go on the vocab. Maybe one of these days you'll outtalk Andrew.

Well well... in to the world of blog-gery. Cool.

This article on Charlette is certainly "homey" and well deserved (she IS so cute!!) however I see but narry a word about Mr. Wonderful in this rag. What's the deal???

Mr. Wonderful

My thoughts exactly! Charlotte will be Charlotte and that's all we can hope for. The love from her Auntie and Uncle in Chicago is felt through the phone lines.

As she would say..."Ove, Ooo, Amy" :)

Charlotte is my favorite little baby girl! And she isn't a baby anymore, in the words of Andrew, "She's a little girl!"
