Charlotte is on the move! I put her in Ollie's room and walked away, and when I came back she had rolled to the other side of the room! Some people are wary of mobile babies, but I say YEAH for independence!! One Mom I respect says that we have 18 years to teach our kids all that they need to know before they go into college and I agree with her. Don't get me wrong, I adore my sweet baby and her sweet smiles and cuddles (she has an easy and giant smile), but my back will be very happy when Charlotte can move on her own. She is at a whopping 19 lbs. 14 oz!!! Ollie was over a year before he was that big.
Ollie is still cute and cheeky, but Tim and I have discovered why some parents claim that three is worse than two. O man had not thrown a temper tantrum in QUITE a long time, but boy has he fired off some doosies lately! I "think" that we're back on top now that we have re-established a time out spot. Poor kid gets a manic look in his eye when we tell him to stay in time out, and he pleads to have good behavior again. Very pathetic. We're at the cusp of new independence (potty training is going VERY well), a new house, a Dad that went back to work, and the loss of his old friends. We'll be alright in the end, but Ollie can now claim some of my grey hairs and a little bit of Tim's receding hairline!
Hope all is well! Looks like Tim will get his first ride tomorrow and I have signed up for my first tri of the season! Feb. 27th at Los Alamitos Air Base. I'll let you know how it goes : )

That's great Dori!
BTW, I just read the other post about Ollie dropping his nap... AHHH I dread that day for us. I hope you are adjusting okay!
Oh Dori. My kids never had the terrible twos. It was the terrible threes with Cara. And now that Sydney is three I am starting to feel the same way about her as I did of Cara!
