Weight: 23.59 lbs (61%)
Head circumference: 18.7" (65%)
Vocabulary (New words):
Sock
Shoe
Neigh
Moo
Stuck (his favorite which he uses in several accurate contexts, especially when he's "stuck" in his highchair for meal time.)
Milk
Walk
Lucy (It doesn't contain an "L" sound but it definitely is a distinct word that means Lucy).
Truck
Favorite foods: We discovered (in more ways than one) that Charlie loves any and all types of beans. I'm just not a fan of dealing with 4 poopy diapers a day, so we've needed to pump the brakes on that one.
Milestones: There is still no official walking, but we have tricked Charlie into taking up to 4 steps on his own. Now he's onto our tricks and demands to have a handhold for any walking. He would likely walk for miles with a hand though and he far prefers to be walking than crawling. He also started standing up in the middle of the room. I have a feeling that when he does start walking on his own, he will be at a mastery level and we'll need to be on our toes. Grandma Hyland taught him how to climb his slide one day and now he does the complete sequence on his own and safely (something that took Lucy close to a year it seems)!
Sleep: Bed time is still 6:30 and wake up is 6-7am depending on how much noise is being made in the house in general. The inconsistent part is how the 2 naps shake out. Sometimes a monster nap occurs in the morning and then the afternoon nap is more a play and cackle in the crib session.
Ways to describe Charlie: Looking back, I said that Charlie was "laid back" at the 12 month update. I would now trend towards "headstrong". Charlie knows what he wants and makes that clear in one way or another. Within 1 day of our Smokey Mountain trip, Maddie stated that "Charlie is by far your most difficult child". Charlie continues to be giggly and joyful as well. He is full of snuggles and love which Isaac, Lucy and I all thoroughly enjoy.
