Charlie Banks has become quite the little character lately! He is keeping me very busy. Jimmy gets home this week (hallelujah!) after having been gone for almost 2 months. It's be a very long 7 weeks and we can't wait for him to get home. We have tried to stay busy with visits to the library, aquarium, childrens museum, sky zone and parks when the weather allows.
When Jimmy left at the beginning of January Charlie Banks was just starting to walk...now he can run! We have transitioned to 1 nap - which has by far, without a doubt been the most challenging nap transition yet. I wasn't prepared at all because the other transitions were so seamless for us. We have had some rough days where he has only napped for 30 minutes, but we do seem to be on the ups on this front. The past week he has gone for anywhere from 1-2:30 hours...so hopefully he is getting the hang of it. He has also become quite the momma's boy...ie crying if I go to the bathroom and he realizes he doesn't know where I am or crying at restaurants if I get up to get a drink and leave his sight. While I do find it cute and sweet that he loves me so much, it also makes me yearn for Jimmy's help even more so than normal when he is gone! He is learning a lot of new words - his favorites and most perfected are ball and dog. He loves to blow kisses and give high 5's. He also loves to carry his dirty diapers to their special spot. He loves most fruits, avocado toast, pretzels, apple sauce, veggie cakes, etc. I have been offering him whatever I eat for meals, which is very nice if he will eat it...it's hit or miss. He very much so understands what no! means and more often than not will listen. He also knows most things around the house that he is not supposed to do and will typically shake his head no if he is contemplating pushing the limits! This is certainly a fun age!
