BJ, Charlie and Papa Steve have season tickets this year for the ISU basketball games and I'm not sure who is more excited - BJ for the opportunity to create a basketball/Cyclones fan or Charlie who usually gets popcorn AND ice cream during the basketball game.
Charlie seems to be entering a pretty fun stage with some (not all) of the toddler tantrums behind me. Some of his recent exclamations include "I don't believe it" (while slapping his hand on his leg) and "this is ridiculous" (oops - that one probably comes from me). He continues to look forward to seeing Lucy every morning and will frequently ask what his "baby Ludy" is doing. Luckily, the affection seems mutual.
Lucy turned 5 months old yesterday and she continues to be a source of pure joy for our family. The smiles are plenty and the cries are almost non-existent so it's easy to be smitten. She continues to be a little peanut - she weighed 12.9 pounds at her four month check-up, which is roughly 16th percentile (Charlie was always in the 90th percentile during his first year), and she hasn't shown any interest in rice cereal yet. Lucy loves her bath but her favorite pasttime continues to be "talking" and being talked to - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She continues to be ridiculously happy and, for as many smiles as she gives each day, I can guarantee that she is the cause for as many smiles between BJ, Charlie and myself.
We had a fun weekend last weekend with my sister Molly and her family. As always, Charlie and Lucy enjoyed the added attention and all of the love from their cousins.
