Charlotte discovers the tupperware cupboard

Practicing walking

After a bath

She's a very talented xylephonist

She's sucking on a little plastic turtle that she likes to carry around with its head in her mouth

Charlotte continues to improve her walking skills. She doesn't fall down nearly as much as she used to, and she has learned how to gracefully land on her very padded cloth-diapered butt. She gets really excited when she walks. She loves to flap her arms and gasp in delight as she is walking toward something.

Her newest thing is playing peek-a-boo. She has started hiding behind things and then popping out and laughing hysterically. She will hide behind a diaper (clean, of course), a book, her mama, the laundry basket, or anything else she can find. She'll even put her hands over her eyes and then pull them down to peek out! She thinks she is so funny.

For a while now she has been learning the art of mimicry. She has learned how to shake her head, pant like a puppy, stick out her tongue, and clap. She has also learned a little shaky dance that she will do when she is in a good mood.
