Cool Joe

His little nose is all red because we had just gotten back from taking our family photos and it was really cold. It took awhile for the extremities to defrost. (Nice Guitar Hero in the background.)

Our trip to Denver

We spent a week over Easter weekend at my brother's house in Denver with all of my family. Here are the highlights:

Comfort Spoon?

Anyone ever heard of it? He wouldn't go to bed without it last night and woke up this morning with it in his hand. Looks like I'll be needing to get another 1/2 Tbl. measuring spoon.

Fun with a hat

Lately, Charlie has been having fun with putting hats on. He sometimes gets frustrated when he can't put is little hats on. He calls out and someone comes to the rescue to help him put it on, only to have him take it off 2 seconds later. But this new "hat" from IKEA goes on real easy:

Toot toot

Grandma wants more, more, more. So here ya go. Video clips are the next best thing to being there.

Yesterday's show is old hat!

I am absolutely amazed at the rate at which this whole developmental process happens. Last Friday (Feb. 29th) Dave was helping Charlie push one of those old school popcorn popper push toy thingies and when Dave let go Charlie took a few steps by "accident". A couple days later, it was a step or two, while holding something in each hand. Yesterday it was the post below. Today it is full on walking!!! I never knew this would be so much fun. And for some reason, the time for major developmental leaps is just before bed time.

Some steps...

While playing a body-slamming game with Dave, Charlie was "tricked" into taking some steps. He is really close! (This was actually March 4th)
