Charlie will be 14 months tomorrow! Sorry, I know it's been awhile. Life has been busy! Charlie has been busy! Here are a couple of new fun facts about his life as a 14 month old (with video proof):
* Charlie now chooses to walk most of the time rather than crawl, but it's still slow and wobbly. For some strange reason he does the sign for "milk" (opening and closing his fist) while walking, and Daddy observed that he looks kind of like Frankenstein the way he waddles with his arms out and a blank stare on his face. Haha! Here is a video (though I couldn't quite capture what Daddy was talking about):
* Charlie now weighs between 24 and 25 pounds and is 28.5 inches tall! Most of his clothes are 18 months but are a little long on him while being tight on his chubby tummy, arms, and legs!
* His hair is...well, crazy. Not sure how else to put it. Even after a nice bath as it dries curly and somewhat neatly, he takes a nap and POOF! It sticks out about 6 inches from his head in perfect Albert Einstein style.
* He loves his teddy bear, his glow worm (its face lights up and plays lullabies), and his little monkey, and as he passes them he picks them up for a quick hug (as we're about to say, "Aw, how sweet...") before hurling them out of sight in typical boy fashion.
* He loves reading his books and mimics the tone of our voices while "reading them" out loud to himself.
* He's really a very happy boy, which I never would have guessed he would be from birth to 9 months! God can do miracles! I will say, he can go from extreme bliss to devastating upset in a matter of two seconds, but I'm gonna assume that's somewhat normal for a 14 month old.
* Praise the LORD, Charlie stayed in nursery the WHOLE time last Saturday night at church! This is the first time since he was 5 months old! Here's the trick: I went in with him, sat and played with him near the other babies, and within 10 minutes he didn't even know I was there. Once he crawled away from me, I figured it was safe to leave. I could hardly believe I listened to the whole sermon baby-free! And he was even happy when I picked him up, exclaiming, "CLOCK!" while pointing at his favorite object (other than "CAAAR!") on the nursery wall.
* Every day Charlie spends a good amount of time standing on the couch looking out the window waiting for the cars to drive by so he can scream, "CAAAAR!" at them. He probably says it one hundred times a day.
* Charlie says, "Hi" now with a big cheesy smile when he sees us and when he looks in the mirror. So fun to have conversations! (Charlie: "Hiyeee!" Mama: "Hi!" Ok, so that's pretty much the extent of it, but it totally counts.)
* Oh, and Charlie likes to play indoor frisbee golf with Daddy...
