Charlie's 15 month stats

Weight: 23# (53%tile)
Length: 32" (75 %tile)
Head circ: 47.5 cm (68%tile)

Charlie started walking this month!  He still prefers to crawl, but it's fun to see him on his long legs!  He is a major hair puller, so he's starting to go into time out (sounds crazy, right?) which seems to actually be working.  He has started to be a lot more gentle and pets my hair gently!  He LOVES to sing, climb, dig through the drawer in the kitchen with all of his sippy cups, climb the step ladder in Matt's office and swing at the park.  He sings "ey ye ye ye" constantly from days beginning to end!  He will finally let me read to him and some of his favorite words are: Papo, duck, ball, dog, hello, and eyes.  He is such a little maniac and always wants to be on the go.  He sometimes fights me like crazy when I restrain him in his car seat or stroller, but once in, he is great for extended periods of time!

Biker boy

The kids love playing on the driveway-we've never had one before!

Charlie's favorite song, courtesy of Ramone!

Ramone would always sing this song to the girls and ever since we came back from Cabo, he busts out with Ay ya ya ya!  (He hasn't perfected the Canta y no llores!)

Pumpkins!

The girls wanted to paint their pumpkins this year!


Rainbows and polka dots
Enjoying their candy apples


Allie's cat pumpkin that she made at Grace preschool
Claire Curious George pumpkin that we created for her 1st grade story book character project.
She painted the dark brown fur color for George!  Claire also did her own face paint for her cat/tiger costume! :)

Cubbies Fan!

Our cubbies were on a roll until they got swept by the Mets in the NLCS!  Charlie wore his Cubs pride to the event at Pamma and Grandpa's Halloween event at Kemper Lakes.





Cabo!

Little man feel asleep while waiting for Kayla!  It was perfect!

 This is what we did while we waited!

Emmie and Charlie

These two are both very "busy" kids and they really adore each other!  It was fun to see them in action together!  The kids love the mail slot!

 Charlie loves his dad's desk chair and grabs everything off of his desk!
Charlie is wondering why Emmie is sitting in his chair!
I was surprised that I was able to make a Target run with both!

S'mores

We have been enjoying our fire pit and new outdoor furniture!  The kids love making s'mores!

 Nappie likes when them make s'mores too!

Aunt Jill's shower

Adorable flower girls!
Setting up their "shop" with the favors!
 Cuties and beauties!

Charlie's outfit from China

 He's too cute!  I had to get a pic of him in the while it still fit!  Matt bought it years ago in China.
