Getting to know Charlie

We're coming up to Charlie being home for almost a week.

I can't believe that time has already gone by so quickly. 

a week passing means I only have a week left with Bob being home

*sigh*

but I won't focus on that... for now.

things that I have 'learned' about Charlie since being home:

he prefers to walk

he can pop back up super fast if he falls down

he's willing to try almost any food

but will spit it out if he doesn't like it

likes to fall asleep in the sitting position

and will fold in half when he passes out

he really likes his sister

even though he's bitten her twice

he loves biter biscuits

has learned to clap

tries to do the motions for 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' when I sing it

smiles a lot

squats when he has to poop

has huge lungs

put everything in his mouth

mimics a ton

Getting to know Charlie is coming along. 

I know it's going to take time before we really attach to each other

but I think I'm starting to see a little bit of progress each day.

Even though Claire is only three and a half, 

I have to say, I totally forgot what it was like to have a one year old.

It's amazing how much of a 'baby' he still is. 

Not that I actually had my act together before he came home,

but I see myself falling behind again...

forgetting to pack things in the diaper bag...

losing track of time...

you know ...  the basics. 

Alright. It's past my bedtime. This girl has got to get to bed.
