You read that title right, we officially have a walker! CP has been pretty stable on his feet for some time, standing up unassisted while drinking or dancing he just hasn't gotten up the courage to take off. He has taken steps here and there but nothing we would really call walking and for the most part if we asked him to walk he would just sit down and crawl. Well last night while Josh and I were relaxing and Charlie was playing and cruising around the coffee table, he let go and took about 5 steps. Later he was playing on the floor and stood up all by himself and took a few more steps. He also walked to Uncle Jordan last night and his Pops. I guess everyone was right he was going to do it when he was ready to take the leap. This morning he would not show off his new found skills for his teachers even though he was doing it at home. We still do not have a professional walker on our hands but I think if we give him a few days or so he will be much less wobbly. Josh and I are both so excited for him and we both know that now that he is walking he is going to get into even more, lets just say the beach is going to be fun chasing around that little guy! I am going to try and get a video this weekend so I can show off our little mans skills.
In other news somehow last month flew by and Charlie is 13 months old. In just this last month Charlie has shown us another side of his personality, the temper tantrum. He is now quit aware of what he wants and if he doesn't get it or is told no he lets you know that he is beyond angry, as evidence by the last few post. He is also starting to copy things we say, he can now say bye bye and "tank to" (thank you), I also got him to say duck the other night in the tub but he hasn't said it since. Right now I ma working on getting him to say Dixie and to find her for me and give her a hug. I also taught him this month to show everyone how big he is, I ask him "how big is Charlie" and he raises his arms over his head to say this big. He is still eating as good as every and he has completely mastered the sippy cup, he loves his milk and juice and will actually take water now without shoving the cup away as if to say mommy this is nasty.
Also in this past month Charlie went to his first Riverbend and saw Little Richard in concert, which he enjoyed. He danced the night away and had every one laughing hysterically as we watched him, I am pretty sure he had the most fun of all the people there, he fell asleep just before the fireworks stated. Sadly we do not have video of this and I wish we did because it was just to cute.
It is hard to believe that another month has passed us by so quickly and this next one won't slow down, we are headed to the beach in 2 weeks to celebrate the 4th of July and can't wait. Stay tuned to see how Charlie likes the beach this year, it is going to be totally different then last year with our little walker!
