18 Month Update & Playground Photo Shoot

A Charlie update is definitely due, so here we go:
Charlie is weighing in at 29 lbs. and is now 32' long. He is right around the 5oth percentile on all stats except for the size of his head which is in the 95 percentile...lets just hope that means big brain :)
To say that Charlie is a busy body is an understatement. These days he is into everything. Sometimes I think he has forgotten how to walk... he only runs now! ha
He has recently discovered the water dispenser on the refrigerator and thinks it is hilarious to smack the button repeatedly and soak himself. He also likes to pour the cats water dish over his head. HELP!
Charlie is mommy's little helper. He now puts the wet clothes into the dryer, mixes pretend ingredients while mommy cooks, helps me sweep with his toddler sized broom, and follows me with the "pop pop" toy when I vacuum. Yesterday he discovered that a warm pile of laundry is really fun to dive into!
Charlie can now say around 40 words and is slowly starting to put two words together. Some of his favorite words are:
Bubble - "bath"
Pip- "chip"
Baybaw - "baseball"
Ice - says this one very clear...loves to eat ice just like daddy
No - go figure
Pop - Dan
Mommy - on repeat :)
Datty - Daddy
Golf - also very clear...even likes to watch it on T.V.
Charlie is a very coordinated little guy. He has learned how to swing his baseball bat, throw a ball overhand, and dribble his little soccer ball. He really would like to swing a golf club, but we don't have one that is the right size. His baseball bat serves dual purposes for now :)
His favorite movies are E.T. and Mary Poppins. I know what you are thinking...he should be afraid of E.T., but he's not. He asks for E.T. or "Poppy" at least once a day. I guess he is going to be a movie buff like his Dad.
Charlie loves school and never cries when we leave him. He is always all smiles when we pick him up, and blows his teachers kisses when we leave. He has also started to really enjoy Wumba Land (the nursery) at church. His teachers all love him, and beg me to send him more than one day a weekl. In August he will start real pre-school and will be in the 2 yr. old class 2 days a week.
We love our little guy and are so proud of the independent, sweet, and funny little man that he is.
And now for your photo enjoyment, a day at the park:
