CRAWLING!

Dennis is working on some video to add to this post but in the mean time I had to let everyone know. Charlie is crawling. I have been home for weeks and I just went back to work today... Murphy's Law... Charlie was crawling when I got home.
He only gets a yard or two before falling on his nose but I'm sure that by the time my parent's get home from Iceland on Monday he will have crawling mastered.

Still no teeth.

Charlie has a new smile... he scrunches up his nose, squints his eyes and grins from ear to ear. It is the CUTEST! He is going to be a charmer... or the class clown... either way he will be entertaining! He elicits smiles wherever he goes.. already.

So much to tell...

Sitting up, log rolling, scooting backwards, getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth... this boy is ready to move!

Thankfully he isn't crawling yet because the baby gate for the stairs doesn't go on sale until Friday ;)

Charlie is really starting to develop by leaps and bounds. Everyday he is doing something new. He is eating all sorts of fruits, veggies and grains with no signs of any allergies yet, he is grabbing, punching, whacking and pulling all with great force and he is babbling like a maniac. Sometimes this babbling is extremely loud (usually in quiet restaurants) and sometimes he speaks very softly and gently as if he is telling a nice little story - this is my favorite!!! I wish you could all hear his beautiful little voice.

He has had a great many adventures and met many new people since our last posting so we'll sum everything up into a photo montage.
This is me in my favorite bathtub... it's a big inflatable duck that my friend Chris got for me...


Here I am in my stroller at the zoo... I've been there about 100 times already!



These are a few pictures of my last trip up to the cabin... I sure do like Dad's fishing hat.
