Charlie has begun saying real words with real meaning. His first word was "kitty" because that is what we call our cat that he loves to play with. Charlie's second word is "thank you." I know that is technically two words, but for him it is one word. We always have said thank you whenever he hands us a toy or we hand him a toy. He doesn't understand the full meaning of the word, but it is generally a word for sharing.
On Sunday we saw Charlie sharing his blocks with the cat and saying "Thank you." It was so cute!!! He didn't even have to be prompted to use his words. I ran and got the camera, but the moment was over. I did get the video below. You can skip to the end where I finally get him to say, "thank you."
Charlie is strictly on a cup now. He has been using one quite well for some time, but I decided that it was finally time to give up the bottle. He has been doing great. I never let him get attached to it in the first place so that was helpful. I decided to go straight to a cup since I kind of view sippy cups as a toddler version of the bottle and I didn't want to have to break him of that down the road.
Charlie, as well, has upgraded to a toddler bed that I got from my aunt. I wanted him fully adjusted to his new bed before the next baby came. I am also hoping that it will help with waking up time. He has gotten into a habit of being cranky in the morning so I am hoping he will learn to get off his bed and play with his toys instead. Even though he can get off the couch and our bed fine, he doesn't seem to want to get off of his bed by himself. It has a little edge, which I think he is making into a mental block more than a physical block.
Charlie is sure growing up and doing so many great and cute things. We love him so much!

That's an awesome bed. Yeah for talking. Does he do any baby signs?
C
He really couldn't careless about baby signs. I think he will learn the main words soon since he keeps trying at other words and baby signs won't be needed.
