Letter Month Thirteen
Dear Charlie,
This letter to you is long overdue, but that is just a sign of how busy we have been having a really good time! Maw Maw Yvonne was here for your birthday and stayed for a couple of weeks after that. We had a good time seeing her and watching you and Sarah Graves enjoy being with her.
You have been perfecting your walk and getting so quick! You learned how to standup unassisted and now you simply can't be stopped! You fall down a lot, but you quickly scramble up and go again! You are a pro with putting your paci in and you love to run around holding it and putting it in your mouth at will!
You do have a temper. You get angry when you can't have what you want and you will fall out on the floor crying. Your lower lip comes out when you cry and you look so pitiful. You have terrible separation anxiety and really don't want anyone to leave you, even the DirecTV man!
You are an eater. You enjoy a lot of foods and eat with great zeal. You love to drink water, too! You frequently want to have your cup of water and will start to squeal for it during mealtime. You still nurse, but you have completely given up milk from the bottle. At first, I was a little disappointed that you didn't want the bottle anymore, but I quickly realized that nursing you is the best part anyway.
Sleep is still a challenge for you. You are falling asleep a bit easier at night, but still wake up many times during the night. Sometimes you wakeup only to nurse and go back to sleep and other times you wakeup ready to play and chat giving Daddy and me head butts, climbing over us in the bed, and doing all sorts of crazy things. Daddy is better at getting you back to sleep when you wakeup, but sometimes you will settle in with me. We hope that sometime you will start sleeping more because Daddy and I are exhausted!
We went to the beach for a week and you had a great time! You loved toddling around in the sand and splashing in the baby pool that we put out on the beach for you. I don't think you loved being in the waves so much, but you were okay with it. You loved having so many of your favorite people around you all week. You love Nay and Pops and were delighted to have time with both of them!
You wave hello to everyone you meet and are rewarded with everyone engaging with you. I love how much you express joy at life and love being with people. Your sister loves you and you love her too. I love seeing the two of you holding hands while riding in the car. Your Dad and I wanted to have you and your sister so that you would have a companion and a buddy and we are so delighted to see that you feel that way about one another.
You fill our days with a lot of smiles and laughter. I love how snuggly you are and really enjoy that time with you. I feel so blessed to have you as a joyful being. You just exude joy and I love soaking some of it up. I look forward to getting to watch you enjoy more of your life.
Love,
Momma
