A Growth Spurt and New Skills

Charlie had a growth spurt the last couple of weeks that has lead to this:

Thank heavens for this:

He has also figured out how to drink out of my water bottle!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This was our present to Charlie for Valentine's Day-the ultimate stuffed animal! Charlie loves his new monkey, and he especially loves collapsing on it and cuddling with it :)

He stood up while I was taking the picture...

This bear and the bee in the next picture were gifts from Craig's students for Valentine's Day-of course they were claimed by Charlie before I could even detach them from the box of chocolates and mug they came with!

Little Monkey

Charlie loves bananas, and he will only eat them if I give him the whole thing (really half)-no more of this small pieces business!

Charlie likes to play behind his rocking chair in his room-funny little dude :)

If You Like Pina Coladas...

We went to get the mail last night, and we got caught in the rain! Charlie loved it-he laughed almost the whole way home :)

Crazy Kiddo

Charlie likes to play with this green bowl I have, and the other night he backed up and fell right into it! We weren't quite quick enough with the camera, but you get the idea.

Charlie wouldn't eat his yogurt the other day unless he could feed himself, so we just gave him the whole thing, and this is what he did...

All Things Soft

Charlie's new thing is stuffed animals, blankets, and pillows. He gathers all that he can or wants at the moment and collapses on the floor with them and cuddles with them. It is so hilarious! He freaks out if we walk past any stuffed animals in the store and I don't give him one to put up to his cheek for a few minutes.
