Chuck D & Mr. T

Charlie was so excited today that he got his hands in his pockets and said “Look, Charlie do it hands in pocket.”

We are all in major snow heaven.

This blizzard is the best thing that has happened here in a long time. I couldn’t be more thrilled. Charlie has gone to the window when he wakes up and says “Snow coming.”

Yesterday….
T=6 months, 14 lbs 9oz, 26.5 inches
C=27 months, about that and twice that.

Anytime music plays (and it can even be a cel phone ringtone) Charlie starts dancing. Today when I went up to get him out of his crib after his nap he said “Charlie. Dance party. Crib.” and then showed me how he had been dancing in his crib. He also got interested today in DJ’s headphones and records after he saw the image on a tee shirt.

Like Jonathan Adler or Alan Campbell, Teddy is really into textiles. He is driven wild by any fabric he can get his hands on. When he lies in bed next to be he goes crazy rustling the duvet. He reaches out for dish towels, grabs at my shirt, covers his face in any cloth diaper or blanket he can reach, It’s nice to know he’s passionate about something.

The packaging is presents enough for Charlie.

Unlike Huck, Teddy loves taking a bath. So much kicking. So much splashing. So much cute.

Mittens have been an ongoing problem. C has a love-hate relationship with them–he wants to wear them but then gets annoyed that the don’t fit right, fall off, have too small thumbs so he decides not to wear them, then his hands get cold and he gets mad. He has been asking me to rub his hands in his mittens to straighten them out. Today we got him a pair of the smallest gloves I have ever seen. He had us both put our on and then dance around.

Charlie loves his amazingly sweet and incredibly adorable cousins, Hannah and Milly so much, he had to do a little dance.
