Happy Birthday Charlie!!!!!

August 1, 2006 was Charlie's first birthday and we could not let it go by without a few photos and a birthday celebration. Charlie was presented with canned pink salmon, a party hat and lots of little new toy (mice), his favorite. Charlie feels the need to capture his toy mice and place them in his drinking water.

Stefanie enjoyed her very first balloon on Charlie's birthday and I took a few photos never leaving her unattended. She was so happy I do not think I have seen her this happy since we played with aluminum foil. I should probably mention we do not usually play with things like foil, I try to teach Stefanie something every day and we do a lot of repetition on everything.

Stefanie and I are currently working on colors, shapes and first words. Stefie is able to point at a picture of a rooster, peas and a cow, when asked to show me which one is the rooster, cow or peas. Stefanie will point out artwork or paintings in any room if she is asked to do so. Once in a while she needs a few extra minutes when there are too many photos or artwork on the walls, and it creates a little confusion. A good example of Stefanie becoming a bit confused is when we went to the Park City Art Festival. Stefie points at absolutely everything and is currently obsessed with lights, ceiling lights, night lights, etc.
