Desperation Blog Post
Just short of a month since my last post--outrageous. This theme of my struggle to get blog time is getting tiresome to me, so I can only imagine how it is for our loyal readers. Tons of pics to come--Charlie was busy in February--as well as some long-overdue letters to baby from Daddy. In the meantime, a few highlights since he's blown past the eight-month mark:
--He was terribly ill with the Satan-spawned stomach flu going around these parts. He didn't eat much for about a week. He's now back to full health and full appetite, but what a miserable, sleepless, crabby weak for Sweet Baby J.
--He decided tonight to take part in my spelling practice with Brandon. As Brandon was reciting his test words, Charlie was right along with him sounding out letters, although in his usual alien language.
--Mommy has been teaching him to walk! With fairly little help, he walked to me today. Mind you he has never crawled.
--The kid is a ninja when it comes to picking the five-second window between diapers to pee on the bed. It's on Lisa's side every time, so I don't mind at all.
--I challenge anyone not to laugh when he gets going on something that he finds hilarious. Recent amusements include peekaboo from behind a wall, my dad doing the Boston Fox Trot and rushing towards him, and the ever-favorite Baby Drop, where I pick him up and let him freefall for a second. His adventure face during the latter is priceless.
Thanks for reading, everyone.

10 or So Things About Jason Charles
Facebook users have been inundated this month with prompts to write notes containing 25 things about themselves. I've been finding out some gems about my friends, so I thought this would be a nice forum to share tidbits about the hero of our story as well as those in his life.
1. Charlie's 12-year-old cousin Michael in Nebraska asks about him every time we speak on the phone. We're hoping they can meet this summer.
2. Charlie absolutely despises anyone pulling things from his nose. This causes problems since almost every day this winter we've had to pull things from his nose. Huge things. Like a magician pulling an endless hankie from his pocket.
3. Brandon is a comedy genius in Charlie's eyes. He emits full-on belly laughs as Brandon dances, does karate, or just plays with him.
4. When Dija so much as walks by Charlie in the hallway, he will ignore Lisa and me in a second in hopes that she will come and hug him up.
5. The child drinks from a straw as well as any adult, and has since he was five months old. With a Capri-Sun in his hands, he will go to town on that juice until it is gone.
6. He loves mangos--he truly is a Caribbean child. He also likes mashed-up potatoes in homage to his namesake (or something like that).
7. As Auntie Linda predicted, he loves his jumper, in which he acts as quite the madman.
8. He open-mouth kisses, eyes closed and all. Baby Lothario!
9. Rattles are fun. Tasty, too.
10. Charlie takes the world in quietly but completely.
