"Talking"

The reason Charlie is not looking at the camera is that he is looking at himself. There is a lot to say to yourself.

Bath

This is Charlie's new bath thing: giant inflatable duck. It quacks when you squeeze its beak. He doesn't use it everyday because it's harder to kick like a swimmer.

Some of you may remember the initial anger over the light-up ducks. Well, we're past that and they're really cool.

Shades

Charlie hates the bright sun, so we got him some glasses. He actually likes them and leaves them on.

Teeth

If you enlarge the picture by clicking on it, you can really see those two bottom teeth.

Tub of Toys

We got a new storage system with these fabric boxes. He loves to pull all the toys out.

Owen

In case anyone thinks Owen is holding down Charlie, take a look at whose little hands are clawing fur.

Sorry, the first two won't go right side up.

Zoo

You can see a dozen toys, and what does he play with? His shoe.






He likes the zoo, but he can't reach the toys sitting, so he has to dive for them.

Be sure to have your sound on so you can hear Charlie talking to his puppy.

Pushing Up

Once he's up, he can move - but only backwards
