Movin' and a-Shakin'

I came home tonight to find Charlie cruising through the kitchen pushing his lawnmower toy! That's right- he's walking. And Ted got to be the first to see it.

Video to come.

Hangin' with the Big Kids

These were all taken recently by Auntie. Again she captured the beauty, fun, and occasional silliness that is a day in the life of our family.

Charlie has become a bit of a socialite recently. We've had friends over a few times this week, all with slightly older kids. Not much older- we're talking toddlers and preschoolers here, but still older.
Well, Charlie loves it. Even though he's not walking yet, he thinks he's a big kid, too. He chases them around the house, shows them his favorite toys, he even refuses to nurse when they are here. It's a great new stage that I am really enjoying. It definitely makes this teething thing easier to deal with.

And, though I've said it many times before, I'll say it again. Charlie really does have the best laugh ever. I wish I could bottle it. If you're ever feeling a little blue, give us a ring. That kind of pure, unadulterated joy should be shared.
