The past month has been an explosion of words for our little Charlie. It's so fun to hear his voice and his always strong opinions, especially when it comes to food and books. And he astounds us with how much he seems to understand.
In the past month, Charlie:
- Has so many new words, including "water," "waffle," "apple," "book," "thank you," and "mine." He also says a bunch of animal sounds, including an owl, cow and dog. And when we all leave the house in the morning for work and school, he says what sounds like "Bye-bye everybody!"
- Has developed a cheesy grin that he likes to flash at strangers. He likes attention.
- Has been cutting a bunch of molars but still remains a happy baby.
- Loves to help around the house, sweeping with his toddler-size broom while we clean up the kitchen.
- Eats whole apples (we take off the skin), just like his brother Grant.
- Likes to dress up -- whether it's a funny hat or necklace he finds in the playroom.
- Loves basketball. Grant has been playing on a team on Saturday mornings, and Charlie is enthralled. At home he loves to "shoot" balls at the basket in Grant's room, which involves us lifting him up to the net and yelling "score!"
- Is transitioning from two naps to just one long afternoon nap. It seemed like this happened too fast!
- Moves so fast that it's nearly impossible to get a picture of him these days.
