First Official Hair Cut

So much debate over the whole topic for me. Do I take him to my hair dresser? Do I just take him down to the kid's place in the neighborhood? How do I have it cut? I finally woke with 'today is the day' and schlepped down to the neighborhood kid spot...and it was literally done in 5 minutes. A teeny bit too short for me in the front, but he has super fine hair so not much forgiveness. I think I need to invest in some baby product.







Fascinated by the construction cone.



Loving his raisins & a little down time.

Walk!??!...no, he RUNS!

In the last few weeks I have noticed that when we are out & about, Charlie RUNS. He doesn't stop to walk - he just takes off in a full on sprint.

He is verbally exploding. You say something and he repeats it immediately. His FAVORITE words right now are light, airplane, car, and more....of which most of it is in Spanish.


A few nights ago Maggie decided to pick out Charlie's pjs and found it perfectly acceptable for him to wear one of HERs. Charlie thought he looked fabulous, which I am sure was fueled by our sheer laughter over the whole thing. We both had a bad case of giggles over it the rest of the night, so of course I allowed him to sleep in them.







I pulled a book out called First 100 Machines and it left him giddy, concentrated & at times speechless. He spent a good 45 minutes flipping the pages and when he got to the cement truck there was squealing.



His first real piece of artwork. Joel called it a 'Chandelier.'
