Charlie Cash (16 months)

It's hard to believe Charlie is 16 months old! Where does the time go?! I thought I would share some interesting things that Charlie is doing these days.

• He can point to his nose, eyes, ears, mouth, and toes.
• He claps when you ask him to or where his hands are.  He claps if you sing 'If you're happy and you know it'  (and likes when you clap for him).
• When he hears any type of ring he says "Hello" 
• He waves hi and bye-bye
• He can say hello, dada, mama (once in a while)
• He loves to go eat at the Mexican restaurant (probably because all of the workers come and talk to him)
• He really likes guacamole and olives (and of course, goldfish)
• He LOVES music and tries to sing along 
• He also likes to dance (He bounces but, he's also started to bob his head)
• He climbs on EVERYTHING! 
• He recently started to 'shimmy' when he walks sometimes.  
• He also loves to read books and I find him looking and 'reading' them to himself. :)

I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot but, this gives you an idea of what the lil' guy is doing these days.  He is quite a handful but, he's so much fun!

To me he looks older in these pictures that were taken yesterday but, I think it is because his hair is wet and brushed. He's definitely not so 'baby' looking anymore! 

Beach Part 2

As promised, here are some more pictures from the beach.  The evening that we went to take some pictures of Charlie on the beach, I didn't prepare by letting my camera adjust to the humidity and the pictures came out foggy but, I managed to create some nice images out of what I had! :)

Charlie checking everything out before heading to the beach! 

Charlie trying out his chopsticks!! 

His first ride on the golf cart! 

One day during lunch, I think he got a little aggravated by my picture taking...

First Beach Trip!

Last week we went on our first beach trip as a family of 3.  We took Charlie to Myrtle Beach to see the Atlantic Ocean.  His first time down to the sand, he didn't have much of a reaction.  We sat him down in the sand and he just sat there, motionless, too stunned to move.  He would look at the sand then at us and then he would grunt. :)  The second time down to the ocean, he acted like he had been going all of his life. He didn't care too much for the water, he was content digging and running.....lots of running!   

  (Please excuse the quality of the pictures, I had to use my cell phone camera because I didn't want to take my 'good' camera down to the beach!)

Below are our attempts of pictures with Charlie! :) Needless to say we were never able to get pictures of the 3 of us together!

Eating ice and sand! YUM!!

There are more pictures and details to come! But, thought I would go ahead and share some of Charlie!

Just a reminder.....

......of how cute this lil' guy is! :)

I see a future...... a golfer & his caddy! :)
