April highlights were birthday month for Charley and me (Happy birthday, Charley! Can't believe you are 5!), Easter, Spring Break and Great Wolf Lodge. Fun month!
And happy 9 months to B! He wasn't feeling great at his 9 month checkup, but still smiled and talked and showed off for everyone at the Dr. He took a height and weight jump -- He's 18 lbs 3 oz (34th percentile) and 27.5" (15th percentile). And he gave me the best birthday present... he started saying "mama"!
