Charlie has discovered the playground. He gets a clue that we might be headed in the direction of a playground, he gets excited, and don't even think about going the other way. It's gotten to the point that since there is a McDonald's near one playground, he thinks every McDonald's is a playground. First, we start with the swings.
Then, we like to run around, climbing steps and just missing getting knocked over by the bigger kids.
Sometimes, we have to wear Mommy's sunglasses.
Although my picture taking and cataloging has significantly declined since Charlie's first birthday, here he is at his 16 month birthday. First five quarters completed!
Nilda still refuses to cut his hair, though it's getting a little crazy. She finds support in people at the playground who say "DON'T YOU DARE CUT HIS HAIR!!" You can almost comb it, though his curls make that tough. It's probably more timely to compare him to Don Draper, but I would rather say he looks like Gordon Gecco. Always on the phone.
Charlie had a good time at the local beer garden.
But then he had to sleep it off.
This kid gets most active when he's tired, right before bed time. Here he is working on his moon crawling.
I tried to get a video of him dancing to Sesame Street, but he's become very camera shy. Here he is eating breakfast and realizing that I was supposed to eat that particular waffle.
On the house front, we are closing on our apartment in early June and will need to be out. We found a house we like in New Rochelle where we want to be, but things are getting a little rocky with the sellers, so we're looking at other houses this weekend just to be safe. We'll keep you updated.
P.S. - Charlie enforces a strict "no one poops alone" policy, so don't even think about closing the bathroom door on him.
