Watch Charlotte tuck in her sister, her mom, and her doll, then get momentarily distracted by The Backyardigans before discussing plans for the weekend.

Charlotte’s school friends have been very supportive of Katie’s arrival. We all get a kick out of signage.

A two-week-old baby doesn’t do very much besides eat, sleep, and smile when the Hawaii Five-0 theme song comes on—at least when the Hawaii Five-0 theme song coincides with the onset of gas.

But Katie’s also been getting in a lot of Dog Time.

Bailey’s fine with it. She’s got free time.

People are always asking how the girls are getting along. So far, so good.

Here’s the photo proof:

The morning routine.

Well, just a wink. Her neck muscles don’t work yet.

Today’s installment proves that my baby photography has not progressed in the last two years.

Today was picture day at Charlotte’s daycare, so we popped in for a few portraits. As you can probably tell, Ellen’s been watching a lot of old episodes of The Rachel Zoe Project this week.

Here’s the first installment of Identical Sisters, where I post pictures of Baby Charlie from 2008 and Baby Katie from 2010 to prove that they do, in fact, kind of look alike. Unless they stop looking alike, in which case the need for a recurring feature will be called into question.

Katherine Therese English was born on Tuesday, and her lengthy birth story post is coming soon. In the meantime, here’s Charlotte saying goodnight to her baby sister.

Charlotte and Bailey share a laugh about their new favorite movie, Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp’s Adventure.

Tonight’s installment of Name That Dwarf was interrupted by fireworks (or gunshots), but Charlotte managed to put up a decent score. I caught her cheating, though. A new low.

It’s the game that’s sweeping the nation! I show Charlotte one of the Seven Dwarfs and she tries to identify it. She did not walk away with any big prizes tonight.
