Mr. Charlie turned 1 year old on April 22nd.  It's been 1 year since he has joined the family and we can't imagine life without him.  He is silly and sweet and curious.  He is all boy.  He loves being outside, loves climbing and loves everything his sister is playing with.   Charlie month by month It was another busy month.  We took a small vacation to Monterey, celebrated Passover, Easter, and of course, Charlie's birthday.   Charlie started going down slides all by himself this month.  Small ones, he can sit, and bigger ones, he goes on his belly.  He loves it.  He also loves climbing around play structures and swinging.  The park is quickly becoming his favorite outing.
