Charlie is 11 Months Old!

Charlie is 11.5 months old now!  He turns ONE two weeks from tomorrow.  He is a feisty little guy and definitely holds his own with his big brother.

Here are some other Charlie updates:

• Charlie still loves to eat.  He eats more than Will at most meals.  He feeds himself everything.  He often screams if he wants more food.
• Charlie is obsessed with playing with Baxter's food.  If we leave the gate open, he crawls as fast as he can (which is FAST) to Baxter's bowl and starts throwing it everywhere.  He also thinks its hilarious when I chase after him.
• Charlie has six teeth (four on top, two on bottom), no more in sight yet.
• Charlie loves dogs, especially dogs like Bailey and Sadie who let him "pet" them for longer than two seconds (like Baxter).
• Charlie still loves his bottles, but is getting pretty good with a sippy cup. 
• Charlie still takes two naps a day.  His morning nap is often in the car or stroller, but if we are home he will nap in his crib for 45 minutes to an hour around 10am.  Then he goes down for a longer nap (1.5-2 hours) around 1:30.   He usually sleeps for about 11-12 hours at night.
• Charlie has taken a couple of steps a few times.  He can walk behind a push toy.  Often Will sits on our toy plane toy and Charlie walks behind.  
• Charlie recently learned "So Big!" and has also started pointing to things a lot more.  He always points to the garage door button on our way in from the car, something he definitely learned from his big brother.  
• Charlie likes to read books, especially books with flaps or things to touch.
