7 months :)

Charlie's thoughts during our 7 month photo shoot: (Comments by AJ...sorry Charlie..your dad's crazy)

"List of things to do today: poop, spit up, shove things in mouth." 

 

"How do I look, Mom?"

"hummmm????"

"Scratch 'poop pants' off list of things to do..."

"Chicks dig stickers."

"Alas, poor Yorick..."

"Tastes like people."

"Central Michigan, REALLY?!?"

"Check out my alligator..."

"Goodbye, sticker. I will now eat you." 

"Who's the creeper in the background?"

 Happy 7 months Charlie :)

ALL BOY!

Surrounded by toys and all he wants is....

the trucks! :)
Such a BOY! 

The Proof is in the Picture!

We got Charlie's 6th month pictures taken last Sunday. His sneak peak was up yesterday and I couldn't help but compare it to his 3 month pictures. He is growing so quickly and I just wish I could slow time down. But what really amazes me is how much his hemangioma has gone down. Look at the difference the medicine has made! The proof is definitely in the picture! :) 

3 month picture-- a few weeks BEFORE we started the meds. 

6 months pictures --3 months after we started the meds.




Modern Medicine is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!! 

LONG Overdue!

Summer break is long gone and a new school year is underway. I spent the last weeks of break soaking up every ounce of Mr. Charlie Boy as I could. Can't believe he is six months old. A lot has happened this month!



Charlie is now eating solid foods. He wasn't too sure what to think at first...but now he gobbles them right up.

This morning I made peas, green beans, yams, peaches, pears, and apples. Charlie has a feast waiting for him in the freezer! :) 

Charlie went to Kelly's (daycare) for the first time. Kelly keeps telling me that he is an happy and easy baby! It seems like he really loves it there. He lights up when he sees the other kids. He is the youngest and just loves watching the 3 other boys. Won't be long until he tries to keep up with them! 

1st day of daycare

 He also turned 6 months old this month. This is by far my favorite stage!  He now has 2 teeth....

 sits up....

rolls over....

 and grabs his toes! 

What a fun month it has been! 

5 months old!

Charlie turned 5 months old on July 12th. It's crazy how quickly the months are flying by! I just love his big smile:) 

 Charlie now holds the mirror in front of himself and smiles at his reflection. He thinks it's pretty funny.

 Aunt Becky!

 And he finally got to meet his Uncle Will! Will was able to spend some good time with Charlie and also got to be his Godfather at his baptism:) We were happy he made it home for a visit.

Charlie is starting to grab his toys and will play with them for awhile. 

 But quickly gets mad when he's had enough! :)

Tummy Time! ---Still not rolling over yet....

 This is where Charlie thinks he should take all naps.... I work really hard to put him in his crib every nap...but he throws a fit. I put him in his swing and he sleeps instantly and for awhile too. GRRR... But he does sleep all night in his crib. Crazy Kid!

 Dad likes to come home and pretend to pick on his after hearing how hard I worked to get him to sleep. My rule: You wake him...you take him:)

 We also started rice cereal this week. Charlie wasn't too sure what to think about it and most of it ended up on his bib and face. 

Last but not least a family picture before Charlie's baptism! 

It's been a busy and fun couple of weeks. My mom and I are headed back to Kansas City next week to take Charlie back to the doctor. Charlie and I also start Kindermusik too. Can't wait! :)
