I Need Some Bunny to Love...

Both of Charlotte's grandmothers asked if the Easter Bunny visited her this year.  Sadly, he did not.  He knew that she doesn't need anymore stuff, especially after said grandmothers mailed her Easter packages, including the bunny ears!  Instead, the Easter Bunny will make an appearance next Spring, when Charlotte is old enough to hunt for Easter eggs and hold on to her own Easter basket.

We made a trip to rainy Oakland to spend Easter with my bestie, K. and her husband.  The meal: a ham, lovely sides of mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, delicious wine, and strawberry shortcake (I made the dessert, in honor of "Charlotte aux fraises").  The game: Trivial Pursuit. Guys vs. Girls.  The girls won, naturally.

Despite our best attempts, Charlotte is now refusing to take more than one nap a day.  I'm not sure why.  She also has gone from one tooth broken through at 9 months to three more, in a matter of two weeks.  In any case, she's been a bit grumpy at times.  I'm blaming the teeth.

 She also has had a nasty cold, as witnessed by the snot running down her face.  Oops!  And she will not stop wanting to climb on everything.  Chris lowered her crib mattress as far as it would go this weekend because she kept standing up in her crib and giving us enough worry that she'll climb right out of it.  Oh and today? She started climbing up the stairs (supervised, but still!).  Chris and I can barely keep up with how fast she's growing and changing...
