Play Baby Play!

Charlie has been very into "playing" lately. Gone are the days that he would be content sitting in our arms for long periods of time. He loves to practice standing, jumping (in the jumparoo of course), grab toys, bang toys on the table, etc...He keeps us on our toes!

"Mommy had to put my little bathtub in the big bathtub because I kick and splash so much! When she puts it in the kitchen sink I get EVERYTHING on the counter soaked! I love my splashing tubby time!"

"Daddy are you as embarrassed as I am to having Mommy take your picture in the grocery store?"

"Mommy, this sitting up thing is getting easier!"

Put some clothes on me!

"I love to splash in the tubby!"

"Mommy, put down the camera and get me dressed! Leave my feet out though....I love to play with them!"

Is a tooth in our near future????

We think Charlie MIGHT be teething. He is biting everything! He has been a bit more crabby in the middle of the night too. We have been giving him cold teething rings and they seem to make him happy. My baby seems too little to be getting teeth. We will keep you updated.

"Thanks Daddy! This ice cold teething ring hits the spot!"

"So, Uncle Alex....what are teeth?"

Leia-Our Personal Photographer!

My friend Leia took some wonderful pictures at Charlie's Baptism. She dabbles in photography and was nice enough to be our "personal photographer" for the day!

I'M TALKING TO THE MAN IN THE MIRROR

Charlie has discovered a very cute baby in the mirror. He loves to babble, coo, smile, and laugh at the baby. Mommy tried to use the camera and capture a moment between Charlie and the baby in the mirror!

"Wow Mommy, this baby in the mirror is VERY cute!"

SNOW DAYS!

Ed and I have had 2 wonderful snow days at home with Charlie! It is amazing to get an extra day home with your baby! Last night we braved the weather to go see Grandma and Uncle Alex. We are lucky she only lives 2 minutes away. She made us a warm spaghetti dinner with toasty garlic bread...yummy! It was great comfort food on a snowy evening. Other than that we have stayed in the warm house playing. Charlie is so fun to play with lately. He grabs toys and puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. He has been working hard at getting his paci in his mouth after it falls out. This is very funny to watch!


"What's a snow day?"

"How do I get this toys off and into my mouth?"

"Mommy, this is fun! I am so happy I am big enough to play in it now!"
