Yesterday Charlie went to his cousin Bridget’s christening. He loved looking baby B and loved eating a sugar cookie made by Bayly (even though he spit some of it out I could tell he liked it). He also really really wanted Pat and Uncle Alfredo to hold him.

Charlie loved going to Galway with Paul and Laurence. He wanted his new best friend Paul to hold him the whole time–really allll the time– but also really loved Laurence (even though he was playing hard to get with her). We stayed in lovely Salthill on Galway Bay and went to the Cliffs of Moher, drove thru the Burren, stopped at a castle in Kinvara, looked at sheep in Connemara, had lunch in Doolin (and would have liked to play gold at their rabbit-themed mini golf), saw carrots as big as a shoe at the farmers market, and walked around the Corribe River (where Laurence got some swans to swim over to C). Charlie really hopes they will P&L will come visit us.

C liked taking the train to Wimbeldon which was so tiny and cute. And he liked spending a day walking around with Jo, Kaya, and Noa and going to the new library in Swiss Cottage.

Charlie loves the V&A and was particularly interested in the plaster casts. He also loved Hyde Park, the ducks there and the Serpentine Gallery where he saw a Gerhard Richter exhibit and the Frank Ghery installation.
And most of all he loved hanging out with Liz and Caroline.

Charlie walked all over London and had a really nice lunch at the Duke of Clarence. He took the bus which he liked and saw things like Exclusive Orthodontics and a cute little playgroup space–the Blue Igloo of London.

Keith and Lucia had everyone over for drinks and a beautiful dinner at their new house in Fulham. Charlie loved Noa. He showed it by biting her arm.

Charlie has become fast and furious (furrious?) friends with Cashmere the cat and can’t get enough of the cat door. He keeps sticking his hands out through the door and Cashmere comes over and nuzzles them. He also sits and looks at her through the door and babbles to her. He also chased her around and around the tables but she finally let him catch her.

He also became fast and furrious friends with Keith and Lucia (and was so happy to stay in their lovely new house) and with Noa and Kaya.

Today Charlie went to Trinity College, Merrion Square, and Saint Stephen’s Green. Later his parents went to Gelf and Flang’s wedding party in an old Georgian house off Parnell Square.
Also, Carol swears Charlie said “Shake it” today. Shaking anything is one of his favorite things. Carol is another.
