Charlie likes to call Johanna at work but when she picks up he always asks for her husband “Barkey” (which, coincidentally, is what his family calls him). I don’t think they work together, Charlie.

Today for the first time Charlie called me “Mommy” instead of “mama”. I wonder what brought about the change…

Today for the first time Teddy tried to laugh. He is so smiley.

Charlie is really into counting. He has an abridged method that goes 2, 8, 9.

He also likes playing with his baby doll. And reading the paper.

Yesterday Teddy was watching Charlie sing and dance and he was totally infatuated. It was like he realized for the first time that being in the world meant he could have Charlie as a big brother and that that is the most amazing thing in the world. It was one of the best things I have ever seen in my life.

C was thrilled that Raul came over this morning to paint Teddy’s room. He also likes to pretend to call Raul and say “Hi Raul” over and over.
