Hi friends and family!

Hope you are all doing good. I haven’t felt really good in a few days. Momma said I got a cold from my friend at school. So I didn’t go to school on Wednesday or Thursday last week. Daddy stayed home with me, because he thought I needed to sleep, and I don’t sleep real good at school. Momma says I sleep like crap. But I can’t say crap. Oops.

So, Momma and Daddy say I am going to ride a plane again next weekend. I am excited about seeing my grandparents and all my other family. Momma says my great grandmommy has shingles and hurts right now, but still will get to see me next weekend. I will give her a big hug when I see her. Hurting is not fun. I fell on my changing table today and hurt myself. I was kinda sad until Daddy picked me up and kissed me.

So, not much else is really happening. I am totally getting this standing up gig. It’s cool. I can pull up on about anything…And can hold on with just one hand! And I really like to play and eat Clyde’s food, but Momma and Daddy make lots of noise when I do that. So now, I can’t really get to it, cause Daddy put the kitchen chairs in front of Clyde’s bowl. Oh well, I like the wine racks and wine bottles too, so I can always go play with that. I have one bottle that I love to pull out :)

I also really like to play on the piano. I can stand up next to the bench and play the keys. That’s fun….It’s even more fun when Daddy or Momma plays with me!

We are going to have dinner with some friends of Momma and Daddy’s this week. They live near us, in the next building over. They have a little girl who is 2 weeks older than me named Claire. She’s cute. It will be fun to eat with her!

Oh, I think I know what to say when I see Momma… “mamamama” I say it over and over while I crawl to her. She always smiles at me!

Well, hugs and kisses and love to everyone!

Charlie
