Charlie's language continues to grow by leaps and bounds everyday. He is starting to say more and more sentences, and starting to use the correct tenses of verbs...he's starting to sounds less like a baby and more like a little boy.
We recently started encouraging Charlie to say "Yes ma'am," "Yes sir," and "Yes please," in our attempt to raise a southern gentleman. Well, I think we managed to totally confuse him about when to use which phrase, so now he answers everything, "Yes please ma'am!" It comes out so desperate, as if he's trying to use every polite word we've ever taught him to get what he wants. It's even funnier when he says it to Dave. :)
The last couple days I've noticed that a lot of times when Nate starts to cry, Charlie will start singing the ABC's. It apparently has become a Pavlovian response, but I can't figure out where it started. I guess maybe he's trying to comfort Nate by singing?

That is so funny. Katherine has always sung the ABC's to Caroline when she cries and it often works.
Thanks for sharing this, Gretchen! Maybe Charlie is just trying to cover up the noise? Love to you all,
Cara
