The Chi

I know I write this all the time, but Charlie is too dang cute. Look at what a proper little boy he is turning into, no more baby boy!  He was sick again last week and we had a rough few days.  He has been getting frustrated easily because he can not communicate and is strong willed. He really knows how to throw a tantrum when things don't go his way (I have no idea where he learned that).  Being sick only escalated this issue which was very trying on everyone.  At some points we thought about selling him to the highest bidder.  Thankfully, we stuck it out and he has fully redeemed himself in the last few days by being such a lovely little boy.  He is very affectionate nowadays and loves to give hugs and sit on my lap.  He now is a pro at waving goodbye, but he still isn't talking much.  Well actually, he is talking loads but it is all just jibber jabber.  He says a few words, Mommy, Daddy, Bef (for Beth our maid) and bur (for bird).  He seems to really love animals.  We eat lunch once or twice a week at a cafe by our house and there are always people with dogs and loads of birds around.  Charlie runs up to dogs and tries to pet them and also chases the birds.  Today he dropped a piece of food and was yelling at the birds that came to eat it.  But then he realized it attracted the birds and kept trying to throw his food at them.  Very clever little boy he is.  Besides being all around handsome and smart, he is also a fabulous dancer.  His main move is going in circles, see video below.  I think dancing may be his calling!  Oh and Charlie's nickname was Chi Chi and now has become The Chi.  When Justin and I text about him throughout the day he is only referred to as The Chi.
