June 8, 2010 Dear Charles...

You are really trying to communicate with us now. You "point" to things you want by extending your arm and saying "meh meh". You motion to the door when the dog wants in or out or to the phone when it rings. You like us to hold you at the microwave where you try to pull the door open or to the sink to feel the water run out of the faucet or to the baby gate latch or banister post. I can't possibly carry you to all of the things you want to see. My shoulders are killing me. You are getting so strong too so when I'm holding you and you lunge for something it is hard to keep you in my arms!

Today at the store you had a sample of "Kim's Magic Pop", basically a rice cake sort of cracker filled with air. Tonight at dinner you had another piece and did really well eating some steamed cauliflower on your own, trying my food that was spicy and also eating your usual pureed chicken and some yogurt with applesauce. But then you saw the magic pop bag and kept motioning for it saying "ma ma" so I gave you two more pieces of it and you ate it up! We let you have your dump truck tonight that you got at Christmas from Grandma Phillis. It is for 1 year and up so we waited. Plus, I don't think you were really ready to enjoy it until around now. It has the big duplo mega blocks in it and so far you are really enjoying putting them in and out of the truck and pulling out the driver and putting him back in the cab. You of course like putting the driver and blocks in your mouth. I can't tell if you have any new teeth coming in or not but you sure seem to need something to chew on and drool a lot lately. Poor sweet baby.
