1 Year, 10 Months, and 4 Days

Charlotte & Ruby are 1 year, 10 months, and 4 days old today. They recognize most, if not all, the letters in the alphabet and numbers 1-10. Charlotte recites "ABCDEFG" and then is done with singing, while Ruby can perform the entire alphabet song. Pretend play is a huge part of their days now, whether it be cooking, eating, or cavorting with Sesame Street figures in the neighborhood brownstone play set. Enjoy the photos!
