13 Months

At 13 Months Charlie:
Is walking full time now!  He figured out how to stand up by himself and from there really took off!  He looked a little like baby Frankenstein for a bit walking with his arms out in front of him, but he's gotten a lot more confident and smooth

Is a total ham for the camera.  His "cheese" face is too cute!

Doesn't say many words yet but he sure can communicate.  He grunts and squeals and points and most of the time I know exactly what he wants.  He also babbles constantly and is very expressive with his hands.

He understands so much of what we say to him.  Today I asked him to get me a bowl and he went right over to the the correct cabinet and picked out a bowl.

Is still the loudest squealer/screamer I've ever heard.  It's seriously painful sometimes.  The lady in the deli at the grocery store made the comment that they know when we are there because they can hear Charlie.  Not sure that is a good thing!

Likes to help me unload the dishwasher by handing me the silverware.  He likes to sweep with the little broom.  I remember Peyton doing the exact same things around this age.

 Is a messy little eater.  He's working on using a fork and spoon but doesn't quite have the coordination yet.

So messy we had to undress him in the sink before putting him in the tub!

Arches his back and sticks his little tummy out (and squeals of course!) when he's frustrated or doesn't like what we are saying to him.  It's too funny!

Is Peyton's biggest fan.  He claps for her every time she sings!  It's adorable! 

Is at such a fun age!
