A Whole Lotta Firsts

In the past 10 days or so, Charlie has had a lot of firsts. I hope I remember them all.

• He waved and said "bye" to his friend Tucker, who incidentally said his first sentence to Charlie a few months ago.
• He started drinking from a Big Boy Cup and mostly gets it in his mouth.
• He kicks a ball now.
• He's figured out how to climb on his rocking horse and how to get down.
• He figured out how to put his face in the bath water and blow bubbles.
• He stacked blocks without prompting at Alex's house today.
• He mastered climbing and descending the steps at Mama and Big Daddy's deck.
• He rode a Power Wheels Dora the Explorer Jeep with Clara.

Whenever there is furniture to climb that is a little too tall, he will pull up anything to use as a step. He loves to race me to the recliner and steal my seat!

He mastered "bye bye" a while ago. Any time I say it, he waves and heads for the door. This week, when I tell him "night night" he heads to the bedroom and waits by the bed. When we move to the new house in a few weeks, I think we will transition to a Big Boy Bed.

Pants Off Dance Off

Our awesomely generous neighbors have let Charlie borrow the beloved Hokey Pokey Elmo while they are on vacation. He loves it! He's a dancing machine. Check it out...


And how 'bout that little Axl wiggle in there?
