Who loves ya, baby?

While we were stuck overnight in Memphis, Charlie discovered the joy of a mirrored door.

He also reached out and touched Elvis.

And had his first taste of Corky's barbecue.

And played crawl-under-the-bridge with Caitlin before we left Texas.

Time for Steak and an Amusing Story

Not only does Charlie have 4 teeth now, he's working on at least 2 more that are very visible in the gums already. Those top teeth really just show up out of nowhere!

Amusing but really gross story:
Charlie and I are in the hotel while Ted and Caitlin are bowling. I have removed his diaper to give his tush some air time and he's crawling around having a good time. Then I hear a squishy sound. I grab a diaper and catch the deuce before it hits the floor. I wrap the dipe and call Charlie to the changing area so I can get him covered up. He looks at me, smiles, and pees on the carpet. Ah, little boys.

Right now he and Caitlin are crawling around playing with his cement mixer. Charlie absolutely loves Caitlin. She makes him laugh, and he'll just stare at her. We are some lucky parents.

Free Teef

Over the past several days Charlie has had his first real illness. We all came down with a stomach bug while we were away. As Ted said, "at least we're all stuck here together in a small hotel room with only one bathroom." We survived and are all feeling better now. Just in time for Charlie to cut a new tooth. Top right.
It's not big enough to capture on camera yet, but when it is... well, this is going to be funny.
