Here is a belated post of C with Gelf when she was in town from Dublin (please note adorable sweater and hat knitted by Aunt La La)

Charlies has been crawling for about a week. In addition to that he likes to do the following:
Rub the bottom of his bottle on his teeth
Pull his mother’s hair
Bounce up and down
Look at the big map of France in the stairway
Grab the dog
Give eskimo kisses (I am sure this term is out of favor and for good reason but I don’t know a better one. Nose kiss?)
Chew on books
Grab his spoon
See other kids, especially anyone around 2 or 3 years old (he goes wild and kicks his legs and arms and makes screaching sounds in the hopes that they will come play with him. Heartbreakingly cute)

Charlie is known to take some sayings too literally.

Mr. Achoo and his table for two
We’ve got a reservation just for you
Come on in, How do you do
Mr. Achoo, would you like the stew

For months Charlie has thought that people sneezing or pretending to sneeze are hilarious. So we call him Mr. Achoo. And now we sing him this song. Mr. Achoo also loves dinner and prefers to eat it standing up in his high chair.

Charlie is an excellent sleeper (except when the birds wake him up at 4am).

Charlie and his cousins celebrated his great grandmother Mama’s birthday with her. Mama knows everything about babies and Charlie adores her. She says you can’t spoil them too much.
