Teddy really likes looking at himself in the mirror and sucking on his hands. He also apparently likes having his picture taken.

Today when he saw a mother pig nursing her 10 piglets, Charlie pointed and said “Baby pigs, baby pigs’ Mommy!” then pointed to himself and said “Charlie” then to me and said “Charlie’s Mommy!” He was very excited. That’s right Charlie, just don’t confuse the mommies in this group.
In general Charlie likes to talk about mothers and their children (oddly, a topic I like to talk about too). He points to kids, says their names, then identifies their mothers, then points to himself and says “Charlie” and to me and says”Charlie’s Mommy.” I think he might be trying to make sure that I am his mommy no matter what happens (like a baby showing up).

At the pumpkin patch today Charlie really liked the pumpkins, a trough filled with corn kernels, a mulch mountain, and all the baby animals and their mothers. What he was not so sure about were the hayride (with scary witches, aliens, Michael Jackson, and safari animals) and the sarcastic cow-milking-guitar-playing farmer.
* Charlie may have been the only child to bring a pumpkin with him to the pumpkin patch–it is a mini white pumpkin that he carries everywhere. Try keeping track of that.

Teddy loves lying on his back and kicking super fast while you make faces and smile at him. And if you stick your tongue out he will try to do the same. He also likes to push himself up and will wiggle across the floor on a blanket. He is so cute I can’t stand it.

Turns out Huck’s favorite food is all foods. Runner up- graham crackers oddly enough.

I love hearing Charlie talk about gats (his Italian-influenced way of saying cats) and gucks (his own way of saying trucks).

People keep saying that every time they are in the park, Charlie is there.

C really likes to “interact” with books. When he reads Madeleine and the Cats of Rome, he wants to hold his little plastic toy cat in his mouth like the dog does on page 20 of the book; when he reads the Nature Conservancy magazine with the picture of a vole eating a strawberry, he wants to do the same; when he reads Inside Lacrosse, he needs to hold his stick; and when he watches Sesame Street (which is not reading, I realize) he has to hold an Elmo doll. Way to get into it C.
