Well, our big boy Charlie turned a year and a half yesterday. With it came a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house with chocolate cake for dessert, and the start of a cold. At least that's what I think it is. He woke up this morning with a runny nose - and now he doesn't like it when I wipe it :). He has only had one cold before - at one year. We'll see if this is really a cold, or something else, like some new teeth!
Lets see - what have we been up to for the past few weeks? Charlie got his first hair cut, ummmm, trim, a few days ago from Mommy. I was too nervous to do much, but I did cut his "bangs" and a little spot in the back corner of his head that was way too long! I will do more soon, just need a distraction or Doug to be around!
Charlie is talking, talking, talking. He has started to recognize McDonald's and yells out excitedly, FRIES or SIES - when he sees those wonderful Golden Arches. It is so cute - I have to admit. He can see the building from our hotel - a good three blocks away, and when we are parked somewhere else, if he spots the arches, he says SIES. It is pretty adorable.
He is now saying Grandpa and Grandma, Pookie, Jon, sometimes Crystal. He can say his cousins names and a few of our friends. He know when there is a truck outside and says "Noise". There isn't too much he doesn't say - even rhubarb, W, enormous, Berkeley. He spots out the letter T and was even looking at a cross on Sunday and said T :). He can recognize the letter M, but also thinks W is an M. Which is why he learned to say W.
That's all for an update - some pictures will be coming soon!!!!
