Charlie used a little fork for the first time the other day. Also, he really loves eatings bananas like a grown-up by holding it with the peel on and he gets very upset if you try to take it out of the peel. He is like my little baby monkey.
The other day I interviewed Alexander Ovetchkin and thought it would be pretty cool if C played ice hockey one day and promised myself that if he did, I would not embarrass him and stand next to the rink telling him to put on something warmer.
Today Charlie took his first train ride to New York. On the train he eat some cheerrios, drank a bottle , took a little nap, and read one of his favorite books, Andy Warhol’s Colors* 3 times.
Charlie spent a lot of time at Gran’s house this week fine tuning the answer the question “How big is Charlie?” He also stood up by himself for real for real (longer than 2 secs) the first time and was so pleased he started clapping for himself and then fell over.
Yesterday we walked by the fire department and saw a fire fighter washing an ambulance out front. Charlie loved watching so much that when we walked away he began to cry and we had to turn around and watch some more.
Charlie has now begun to point, but he can’t quite get his finger out yet so he just sticks his fist towards things he wants. He also been really into feeding me bites of anything he is eating. He is also really into feeding Huck bites of everything he is eating, but Huck does not know that she is only supposed to pretend to take the bites.
Yesterday Charlie said mummuma when he saw me. Rachel heard him say it first I didn’t believe her but them he said it like three other times when he saw me. It melted my heart. Then today came. Not a word.
