 Charli Sue is so stinking fun. She always wants to play. She loves to play with her big sisters and do everything they're doing. She really tries hard to keep up. If they go downstairs or outside without her  she gets really upset. She loves when we hide from her and chase her down the hall after she finds us. She is so adventurous and silly. She pulls anything she can reach out of every drawer and cupboard. Including a 500 ct box of Q-tips all over the bathroom floor, all the Tupperware and lids, splashing in the toilet, unrolling the toilet paper, sucking on everyone's toothbrushes, pulling all the books off the shelf, dumping out cereal and chips on the kitchen floor, throwing the clean laundry out of the basket so she can sit in it and soaking her shirt in tomato while she's snacking on it outside. Which leaves messes for me ALL day long!
Charli's most favorite thing to do is be outside. Exploring the yard and picking tomatoes. She loves playing with the hose, bouncing on the tramp, and cruising the sidewalk. She thinks she's big enough to ride the girls' bikes and gets mad when she doesn't get a turn. She can slide by herself on the little orange side. She can walk up the steps, sit down and slide down all by herself. She thinks she's so big! She can sign eat, more and all done.
 Charli now has seven teeth. It's so funny to see them when she smiles. It makes her look so big. We can tell when she's getting a new tooth because she won't eat very well.  She likes to feed herself and doesn't like when we help her. If I put food on the spoon she can put it in her mouth. She likes to slurp baby food (fruit) from the little 4oz baby jars. I just punch a hole in the lid and put a half straw in it. She packs if around like she's super cool.  She also loves applesauce pouches, gogurt, veggie straws, crunchies, chewing on apples and cucumber slices, watermelon, raspberries, blueberries, bread, ice cream, chocolate chips, cheese, gold fish, popcicles, noodles, not really into meat but loves to drink from her straw cup. She really likes the gosner milks too. She will pick her own tomato in the back yard and chomp on it. She doesn't care is just covers her front and drips down tot her elbows. I love my little blondie so stinkin much!
