Action!

May 15, 2010 Charlie is officially taking steps! Since then he's gotten much better. He giggles a lot when he's walking though and this does not help his cause at all. He often tips over because he's laughing too much. He still prefers crawling over walking since he's so fast and now is bear-crawling in order to keep his knees off the driveway or other rough surface.

It seems as if his life is one constant work-out!

SQUIRT GUNS! What's better than playing with water guns on hot, sunny days...or when you have a little pent up aggression or stress caused by your sweet child? Unload on them with a few squirts and everyone is instantly laughing.

**in case you're wondering what Stella is saying at the end of the clip that makes me laugh so hard...she's referencing Monsters Inc. a favorite movie around here. She says, "you want to know what Mike Wizowski (one of the monsters from the movie) does?" ...and follows by squirting herself in the face. I didn't know she remembered that part, but it appears it stuck with her.

We're behind on blog entries once again. Since Stella and I returned from FL, we've been to cousin Ellen's 1st communion in Chagrin Falls, OH, Nick and I took a trip to PA for a wedding, we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary...Nick went to KY for a guy's weekend and I hosted our niece and sister and brother-in-law, and we just wrapped up a 5 day visit with Grandma and Grandpa Freeman! Next up...Cincinnati or bust! We're spending Memorial Day in the 'nati for our niece, Courtney's graduation and Charlie's 1st birthday! Let the celebrating begin!!!
