Charlotte Unplugged

Charlotte's speech and understanding has skyrocketed in the last month.  All of a sudden she's stringing three and four words together to make a sort of sentence and has gotten in to pretend play more and more.  It's so much fun watching her little brain grow and develop! And it does it all at such a quick pace it's astounding! She'll all of a sudden start saying words and phrases and I have no idea where she learned them (I'm guessing school or church nursery!).  It's amazing!

So I thought I'd share some of the precious things Charlotte is doing these days.

Charlotte is all about things being in their place (like Mother/Father like Daughter I guess!).  We put our laundry into baskets for whites and colors but stack our clothes that go to the cleaners on the floor until we are ready to take them.  That arrangement doesn't work for C.  She knows that clothes go in the hampers so any time she comes into our closet she picks up those clothes and puts them away where she thinks they should go!

Charlotte has finally gotten tall enough to climb onto furniture.  She found a picture of Elmo in an entertainment magazine recently and climbed up in my chair to "read" the magazine herself.  She also loves flipping through my books even though there aren't any pictures!

In these two pictures she's "pouring" herself tea and then drinking it.  She loves to pour tea for others but one caveat, you have to make big slurping noises when you pretend to drink!

Charlotte loves walking around in our shoes these days.  It doesn't matter if their slippers, Daddy's loafers, or 3 inch heels she gets her feet in them and then walks around the house in them!  It's quite impressive that she can master heels already at her age! :)

Charlotte also loves talking on the phone these days.  She says phone very clearly and has actually started responding when someone on the phone asks her questions.  But mostly she just likes walking around listening to someone talk!
