Charlie believes that there is a “baby” version of every adult thing*. He ask for his “baby hammer”, “baby skewdriber”, “baby football”, and now he has added “baby wine” and “baby coffee”. He thinks sparkling water is “baby wine”.

*My mom said I thought there was a Mickey Mouse version of every adult thing and once asked for a “Mickey Mouse razor.” I did not get it.

The other day I was going to drive Colin home and Charlie really wanted to come so I put a hat and coat on him but now shoes and as we were driving he said “Feet cold. Hold them” , which I did for a minute til I deemed it too unsafe.

T love lying down to kick and shake his head back and forth and back and forth. And he is really interested in the crinkly pack of wipes and keeps trying to grab it and chew it.

T is also perfecting his rolling over and keeps practicing front to back and back to front, but at night he gets stuck and I have to help him. I know I should move him to his own room and get him to sleep through the night but he is so cute I’m worried I will miss him all the way down the hall. Huck says she will be cute in the middle of the night for me instead and that it’s time to get some rest already.

T just talks and talks and talks and now has a new squeal that’s really funny added to his repertoire.

T loves trying to grab everything. His favorite thing is to play on his mat and try to bat at the hanging rattles. He is sooo dreamy.

Carol gave Charlie (among other things) a small nutcracker ornament. Charlie has been carrying it everywhere and wants his “gracker man” to “watch eat” and “watch” in general. Today he wanted “gracker man” to take a nap so he put a blanket down and laid “gracker man” on it to sleep while he sleeps.

C also keeps handing me holiday cards with pictures of small babies with light hair saying “This Teddy.”

Because of my husband, sons, and Huck, my Hannukas, Christmases and birthdays keep getting better ever year. MJ is unfailingly thoughtful and generous. There is no better father and husband in the world. I hope everyday he knows how much I love him. Charlie and Teddy are unfailingly cute and sweet and funny. There are no better sons in the world and I hope everyday they know how much I love them (they better because I kiss them and tell them all day long. I’m sure they think I’m slightly uncool).

Charlie told me last night “Raul work Charlie Charlie’s office.” Then he listed what was in his office: “paper, crayon, hammer, screwdriver, wrench, reindeer, flag.”
