Charlie wants to dance all day long. And snap his fingers.

Last night Charlie went to the carousel on the Mall. He was so excited to get on it and wanted to sit on his own horse and kept trying to get it to go. As soon as the carousel started moving (it was sort of fast) and the horse began going up and down he was really afraid. But then he didn’t want to get off and cried a little when we left and waved bye to the horses. This carousel will be leaving the little merry-go-round at the playground in the dust.

Charlie had a really fun Hanukkah and Christmas this year. He loves latkes and ball shaped ornaments.

Charlie is currently really into books with pictures of balls in them. And he really like to growl whenever he sees a bear in a book.

Today Charlie was excited to:
Admire the lights on our new Christmas Tree
Meet Santa with his friend Sofie
Visit the artists’ studios open house up the street
And sing along with his mother as she put him to bed*
*The singing was mostly to encourage his mother to continue the singing so that he could stay in her arms and not be put in the crib.

Today Charlie went on the St Albans Christmas House Tour with some of his grandmother’s friends. He loved the musicians in each house and was really inspired by what people were doing with magnolia leaves and pomegranates.
And last night he said “Map” for the first time. He really is his father’s son.

Oh, and Charlie has got a real thing for light switched. He likes to point them out but he also really really liked to press them. He also thinks the door bell is great and laughs hysterically when I say “ding dong”.

Charlie continues to go around pointing at everything and saying “This?” to find out the name or alert you to something of possible interest. The other day he pointed his finger and yelled out “THIS?” to the choir singing Christmas songs in church.

*these words are continually repeated. He has also said something sounding like Colette for Colette the cat and will sometimes repeat words he hears but only once.

Yesterday Charlie walked across the room for the first time in his entire life. He went from Colin to MJ and then over to the back door to look at Huck. He was thrilled with the applause we gave him and kept clapping for more.
Then today he did it again and walked from Colin on one side of the room to his godmother Jenny on the other. Again, thrilled with the applause.
He also now has two molars.
