Climbing


In the short time since I last posted about Charlie, his personality has changed so much.  He is much more creative in his play and I can see the wheels turning in his little mind as he marches around the house with purpose.  He's constantly on an adventure. 



His new obsession is climbing.  The only problem is he likes to climb on things that are too high for him to climb off of.  I'll be in another room and hear "ma! mom! mom! mama!"  That's his cry meaning "come get me!"  In the mornings, if I'm not already up, I'll wake up to this on the monitor as well.  I love that.
Do you like how he wears this whistle as a backpack? 


He is becoming quite the helper.  Tony is better at involving him in clean up than I am.  I tend to do it myself because I can get it done faster, but I'm trying to remember that's it's important to teach him to help.  He loves to help unload the dishwasher, push the hampers into the family room (so I can fold laundry) & pick up blocks. 


We're going to love these videos when he gets older.

Addison just turned into a climber too this past week! She has managed to get herself into some pretty strange predicaments as well. I keep telling her that she has to take some hits/injuries if she truly wants to be a little monkey! It's hilarious how daring they can be at this age.
