Charlie loved playing with Ava this morning. He was so enthusiastic in his grabbing to say hi that he made her cry. When he saw her crying he tried to put his head down on her feet in what appeared to be a way to say “sorry you are crying”. Ava had on great gold shoes by the way.
Charlie is really into making new sounds. On the flight back from Dublin it was “dugalug dugalug dugalug” over and over. For the past few days there has been a lot of “duck a duck a duck aduck”
Charlie thinks that remotes can not only turn on the TV but also be used as phones. He picks up both remotes and phones and says “haiaia”, which seems to be his attempt at “hi”.
Charlie is falling in love with fall. And with his hat (compliments of Auntie Carol).
Apple sauce is this week’s favorite food (to the exclusion of all others).
Charlie loves the bubble song and playing with the parachute at Blue Igloo.
Yesterday Charlie went to his cousin Bridget’s christening. He loved looking baby B and loved eating a sugar cookie made by Bayly (even though he spit some of it out I could tell he liked it). He also really really wanted Pat and Uncle Alfredo to hold him.
Charlie loved going to Galway with Paul and Laurence. He wanted his new best friend Paul to hold him the whole time–really allll the time– but also really loved Laurence (even though he was playing hard to get with her). We stayed in lovely Salthill on Galway Bay and went to the Cliffs of Moher, drove thru the Burren, stopped at a castle in Kinvara, looked at sheep in Connemara, had lunch in Doolin (and would have liked to play gold at their rabbit-themed mini golf), saw carrots as big as a shoe at the farmers market, and walked around the Corribe River (where Laurence got some swans to swim over to C). Charlie really hopes they will P&L will come visit us.
