Safety First!

Last weekend I picked up a toolbox for Charlie, complete with all the cool tools, a toolbelt, and as you can see, safety goggles. Needless to say, Charlie really liked the goggles. I thought he'd hate wearing them. Um, nope. So, for now, I guess we'll do goggle-friendly activities. Maybe I'll take him swimming tomorrow.....

It's almost summertime! (And C's almost 18 months old!!)

Ahhh, June in Seattle. Highs in the 50s, rain everyday, and gray clouds. Hmmmm...sounds vaguely familiar, doesn't it?
Well not today. The sun decided to come out (finally), so Charlie's been outside on his bike all morning. Now he's taking a nice long recovery nap. Then this afternoon he's having his friends over for a BBQ. He loves to entertain. ;-)
We can't believe he'll be 18 months old in just two days! Everyone says that he's going to look so big when the little one is born. I already think he looks huge. But, what's crazier is how old he SEEMS. He just acts like he knows exactly what he wants to do and why he should do it. (Well, maybe not always why... ;-)
Neither Brian nor I know babies/kids at all so every stage is truly an eye-opening experience (as our moms and sisters can tell you, as we call them all the time for a sympathetic ear, advice, or just to hear them say 'yeah, that's normal.')
Anyway, the next three videos are some of Charlie going on 18 months, going on 10 years old. ;-) Enjoy!
