Belly laugh

Nothing much new, just some pictures from some happy days around the house.  

Charlie's physical therapist got promoted and so we were assigned a new one.  We love her.  She is so creative.  Within minutes of stepping in our door, Charlie was rolling over oatmeal containers (to help him get the hang of pushing up on both his knees and his arms).  

Here is Charlie practicing sitting on our couch.  The play gym helps orient him up (so he's not just diving to suck on his feet) and the couch helps him stay steady (and provides a soft landing should he fall).

Lucy and I planted some seeds in pots.  We picked seeds out in the morning and I told her she had to wait until dinner to plant them.  She updated me on what time it was every 5 minutes for the rest of the day.

 Here are the completed pots: delphinium, basil, tomatoes, parsley and zinnias.  Oh, and this is what our backyard looks like at the moment.  The owners are doing some major renovations including flattening the backyard, and replacing the deck.  

 This is another physical therapy gem.  Charlie, who cannot sit up on his own, can sit up in this round laundry basket.  You can even hang toys from the holes with links-- genius!

For the first 10 minutes he was in there, all he did was peek out of the holes.

Here is Lucy faithfully watering her plants with a watering can we made out of a milk carton.  Lucy decorated it with buttons and told me that the designs were caterpillars.

Another unrelated Lucy funny.  Lucy has a new response to me telling her no.  The conversation goes something like this.

Lucy: Mommy, I want a cookie.

Me: Well, you can have one after dinner.

Lucy: Oh, honey, I want a cookie because it's just fine!

Everything is "Oh, honey, it's just fine!"  I'm not really sure how she put all of this together. 

I went to check my e-mail this morning and when I looked down this was happening.

And finally, a video just taken that can only be described as "it's a sibling thing."  I have no idea why Charlie finds Lucy so funny, but I'm so glad he does.
