10 months/10 mois

How did this happen? How did 10 months go by? Our first summer together is coming to a close. We had practically everyone we know from France come visit us this summer. It was a good summer, but as always, went by too fast.

Some new developments around here...Charlotte is now clapping and able to stand without holding on to anyone or anything. We are anticipating her taking her first steps soon. Julien is still working on crawling and pulling himself up. He's a fantastic cuddler, and is really into his toys with gears, wheels and switches.

I couldn't pick just one of each...here are a couple. The dress Charlotte is wearing is one that I had as a baby.

Quoi?! comment est-ce arrive? 10 mois deja?! Notre premier ete ensemble s'acheve. Nous avons presque recu tous les francais que nous connaissont cet ete. C'etait un bon ete, mais comme toujours, il est passe trop vite.
Des nouveaux developpements ici: maintenant, Charlotte applaudit et se tient debout sans se tenir a quelqu'un ou a quelquechose. Elle va faire son premier pas d'un jour a l'autre. Julien essaye toujours de ramper a quatre pattes et de se mettre debout. Il adore se faire caliner et aime tous les jouets qui ont des engrenages, des roues ou des interupteurs.
Je n'arrivais pas a me decider sur une photo ou une autre donc j'en ai mis plusieurs. La robe que porte Charlotte etait une des robes que je portais quand j'avais son age, fait a la main par ma mere.
