Max loves to kick his feet. He loves to sit in the bouncer on the counter because then he can watch me cook. He seems to need to watch me or he gets unhappy. He just follows me with his eyes, sucks his hand and kicks his feet. He loves to be tickled and we all love to hear him laugh.
Lately, when I change his diaper, he'll put his hand on my arm and just rest it there while I change him. I love it.
He found his toes! He loves to hold them and bounce his legs up and down. This is the only way he will roll over to his side but then he just lets go and rolls back to his back.
Charlie has really enjoyed baseball. This is the first year that they have the kids pitching. Its very difficult to get a hit in for Charlie. He's had some good swings and is even better at NOT swinging at balls. He gets on base from a walk most of the time. The coach started him out in 8th batting position but then moved him up, eventually to 3rd or 4th because he consistently gets on base and will follow the coach's instructions. He mostly plays 2nd base, one time he played first base and another time he pitched! His team was ahead by a lot so the coach switched the pitcher and catcher around and put his own son in as pitcher in the last inning. The other team got a lot of hits and was scoring fast, so he took his son out and all of a sudden gave Charlie a chance to pitch. He just needed to get 2 outs. Despite having NEVER pitched before in his life, Charlie was willing to try and gave it his best shot. The ump had a 2 key bad calls (in my opinion where Charlie SHOULD'VE gotten a 3rd strike) and our team lost our lead. He stuck in there even when it was hard and got a strike out to end the game. WHEW! It was a good experience and I'm so proud of Charlie. I have never been so NERVOUS at a kid's sporting event, ever.
