My Not-So-Baby Baby

There is a fine line between the transition from babyhood to toddlerhood. Are you officially a toddler once you turn 1? Or do you have to wait till you can walk? Well, this fine line is pretty much close to over for our not-so-baby baby. She has taken a few steps here and there, but still prefers to crawl because she's so much faster at it. I give it a few more weeks and she'll officially be running after brother (although she has a long way to go since Lucas is pretty fast).

When people ask, I tell them that my kids are 19 months apart. Technically, they're more like 18.5 months apart. As Char is getting older, it has become even more apparent that her interests are really similar to her brother's interests. She does like the occasional tea party or what not (but so does Lucas), but she prefers climbing over things with her brother, being crazy, and reading the same books as him. The first year, especially the first six months, was dreadfully hard, but there is FINALLY light at the end of the tunnel with my two toddlers!

 They like to destroy everything together!

Instead of going to play date part 2 this week, Char and I went to visit baby Gavin. Often times, Char looks like a runt in pictures because everyone is so much bigger than her. But lo and behold, we finally found someone who makes her look big! (Big bro Lucas was born bigger than lil Gavin!)

Anyway, happy belated 14 months, my not-so-baby baby! You still crazy and as sassy as ever!
