We took Charlie to the pool today, thanks to our friend Meghan, who invited us over. She lives in what I think must be the biggest apartment building I've ever seen, with a lobby that looks like a hotel lobby (and has DONUTS - George wants to move in) and a beautiful pool. It was such a glorious day today - sunny and warm (but 70s warm, not 90s warm). Charlie thought he was in heaven - he LOVES the water. He splashes and kicks and laughs, and generally just has a great time. Oh, and wears himself out - he was tired tonight! Which was a blessing, since I had to do some testing on the computer tonight around 8 - he was quiet and in bed not too long after I got started.

Here's a video of Charlie walking with his push toy. We had just taken his shoes and orthotics off, so his feet aren't as straight as we'd like and he isn't as steady as he is in his shoes - but he's getting it down! He was giggling to himself towards the end there - we muted out the sound b/c George and I were chatting in the background, but you can see by his grin toward the end that he's very proud of himself.
