Charlotte has been quite the busy body for the last week. Grandma Maher was in town for a few days and she took Charlotte on her first visit to the zoo on Friday. I hear she had a great time looking around at all the colors, lights and animals.

On Saturday, we took Charlotte on her first trip to Terry's Turf Club for burgers. The place was very noisy but she didn't seem to mind, as she decided to join in by babbling loudly through most of our meal.



Aunt Aimee also had her first art show on Saturday. Because Charlotte is a party pooper and goes to bed at 7:30, she went to Leo's house while Dave and I went to see the show. They had fun playing with each other before bedtime. She was in awe of Leo up on his hands and knees, rocking back and forth. She can't quite match his skills so she decided to chew on his toys, sit in his chair and read his book.....that'll show him!!




Sadly, we woke up to the horrible sound of Charlotte coughing and wheezing Sunday at 4am. It was the unmistakable sound of CROUP! Dave and I decided to take her to Children's where she received steroids to help relax her airway. We were instructed to keep her home for 72 hours and sent home. She has been doing surprisingly well, although she hates having her nose suctioned and screams bloody murder each time. Today is the end of her quarantine and she is happily back with Tricia the babysitter.
