So many funny moments...

On a day to day basis, Charlie is doing hilarious and new things.  It's hard to keep track of it all and it's hard to write it down with such a busy boy!  So here is a list of funny things that Charlie has done recently:)

*Loves to act like the dog - When Delilah goes down to drink out of a nasty puddle, Charlie tries to do the same.  When Delilah sniffs the bushes when we are walking, Charlie goes down on all fours and does the same.  Oh, and he loves to pick up her poop.  We live in apartments so have to pick up the poop with doggie bags.  He loves to go get the bag and he pretends to pick up poop with it, I do the real thing;).  Then it is super fun to throw it in the trash...who knew!

*Eating - When Charlie really loves something we are eating he says "Yummmmm, yummmm, yummmm!"  Very loud and purposeful over and over again!  It always makes me feel like my food is good:)!

*Poopy diapers - When I change his diaper he starts coughing out of control and gagging on the smell.  He says "Ick, ick, ick!"  (I'll have to change my reactions to diaper changing, obviously, if I ever want him potty trained!)  He also loves waving goodbye to his poopies, down the toilet, hilarious.

*Praying - We all hold hands when we pray for dinner.  He makes sure we are all holding hands and gets really serious.  It doesn't matter how long we pray, he is very serious about it:)!  Same with going to bed prayers, he grabs my hands so we can pray.  Warms my heart, really:)

*Words - "Hi" to any stranger, with a wave, most of the time.  We live around a lot of women and babies from India and that does not stop him from trying.  They are very seclusive in their own culture and it can be very hard to get eye contact, but he gets a smile!!!  It's really fun!  "Ba-ba" for bottle, he is IN LOVE with bottles now that he's not nursing:)  "Jet" we live right under the flight path.  I taught him Jet during the air show this weekend with the F22.  "Ba" sometimes "Ball" for his favorite all time...soccer ball.  He is very good a dribbling already!  Better than me:)  "Shoo-shoo" Cheerios, the addiction continues.  "Da" is Dad.  Loves Dad.  We were out fly fishing the other night and lost Tim.  I was calling for Tim and Charlie was calling for "Da" :)  "DEEEEE" the never under enthusiastic call for the dog!  Now his good friend Stella runs around saying DEEEEEEE.  And there are more, but moving on.....

*Singing - Charlie loves to sing Jesus Loves Me with me, when he is going to bed.  He can kind of say Jesus now, but sings his own words for the rest.  He loves it when I play guitar, he dances on my guitar case for as long as I play:)

*Dancing - We pretty much have a dance party every night.  This is Charlie's favorite time of the day.  The kid keeps coming up with his own moves.  I can't get the good stuff on video yet, but I have a little of it.  He LOVES, loves, loves the music.

*Friends - Charlie has one little friend, Stella, that he sees all the time.  We think they are soul mates because of how much they love each other.  It is seriously cute.  Last time she came over, he gave her a kiss right away.  He doesn't even give me and Tim kisses!  Their out of control laughing is too cute and funny!

I'll have to add to this list later.....there are so many things!  The moments go by so quickly!  I'm trying to get more video.
