Mr. Charles

I guess now that we live a bit far from family members it would be wise to do a Charlie update seeing how he is growing too fast. I love my baby boy more each day. He is 6.5 months old weighing somewhere between 18 and 20 pounds. His hair has be growing a lot recently 

Some milestones include:

Sitting up. He started this about a week before he turned six months and is stronger than ever now.

He can scoot in circles on his belly...as in his belly button stays in the same place and he can move 360 degrees.

HE started rolling over pretty early but now rarely rolls over. he never does it to get places. 

Charlie has been practicing a new cheesy smile accompanied by a wheezy laugh. It cracks us up which makes him do it more. 

He started solid food right a 6 months. He hasn't rejected any food yet and seems particularly fond of green beans, applesauce, and pears. 

He loves going for walks and runs in his stroller. 

 He is great at helping daddy do his work

Charlie and I like to play in front of the mirror. It makes us feel like we have the coolest friends around.

Some things that I absolutely love about my son include.

His Giggles. He gets in moods where everything is funny and if you just look at him he will crack up until he gets severe hiccups.

Whenever Max comes home, Charlie lights up, giggles, smiles, and flaps his arms in excitement.

Charlie will start biting his tongue when he is tired just like Max. This melts my heart!

Charlie will give me kisses occasionally.

Sometimes when he is sitting next to me on the couch he will pat my back or hug and suck on my arm. 

He loves being thrown around by his daddy. 

Anyway, I feel so blessed to have this wonderful son. I am so lucky that I get to stay home and care for him. He is a joy to have in our family and he definitely has parents who love him.
