Annelise at 9 months - she weighs 19 lbs 14 ozs (75%), she is 29 inches long (95%), and her head is in the 50% percentile....she is a tall, lean little girl! She has been crawling since she was 6 1/2 months old and is now pulling up too. She has a LOT to say...guess she has to keep up with Charlotte!

She is excited that Charlotte let her try her sucker..

Pulling up, looking out the window..

We are so happy that Uncle George is getting married! George and soon-to-be Aunt Amy are getting married on May 7 in Princeton. David has the privilege of performing the ceremony and Charlotte will be the flower girl. She is so excited, we've actually been practicing. She wanted to make sure it was OK to actually step on the flowers after she throws them down :-) Here are some pictures of all of us over Christmas this year.

Amy jumped right into playing with the girls :-)

We just got back from Lake Toxaway, where for the 3rd year we've ventured up there with the Hornes and Appletons. Despite our children not always sleeping (sigh..), we had a wonderful time and treasure our friendships with these families.

Abigail's nickname for Charlotte is "Char"...so here are Char and Abs dressed in their golf hats and jewelry.

All the girls...Abigail (3.5), Kara (16 months), Charlotte (2.5), and Annelise (7 months).

Bath time...

Charlotte with Nate and Joni...

Annelise is trying solid foods now....she isn't a huge fan but she ate some peaches the other day and seemed to be mildly interested in them. I am skipping the whole cereal thing because of stuff I've read about how difficult it is for babies to digest grains - they really don't have the enzymes in their tummies to digest them until they are around 1. Also, Annelise has her first tooth!



Charlotte at her first ballet class! She loved it!

Annelise is getting so big! She weighs 18 lbs 5 oz (95%) and is 27 3/4 inches long (97%). She isn't a big fan of real food yet....I've tried some but she just spits it out. She is a great sleeper though, even though all she eats is breastmilk! She typically sleeps from 6 or 6:30 pm to 8:00 am!
Here is a video of her:
