July update.

Finally!!!
Here are some pictures for everyone. Most of them are of our trip to Denver's 'Wildlife Experience' for my (mom's) birthday.
Dennis tried to get some video downloaded onto the blog but it isn't working... bummer. We will keep trying... we may even have to ask a computer savvy friend for help.

I would love for you to see how in a mere two weeks Charlie has learned to crawl, sit up on his own, pull himself up to standing, feed himself sweet potato puffs with his hands, etc. etc.
In other words... he is getting many bumps and bruises but we are preventing all that we can and we are there to kiss the 'owies' that slip though our fingers. He is learning at an unbelievable rate. If he keeps this up he might be a concert pianist by age 8... never mind that we don't have a piano.

Since we have to watch like hawks when Charlie is free to move we occasionally have to 'immobilize' him in one of two fabulous new toys. Charlie has a new exersauser and, even better, a swing. He loves 'hanging out' in the swing so much that he has even fallen asleep in it. So far we can move it to two different locations outside of the house and I'm working on a way to hook it up under the stairs in the living room.
A happy Charlie who can't do anything to injure himself is a precious thing indeed!

Charlie riding a wolf! Top that Kandace!!!!!!!


Charlie watching some fish (one of his favorite pasttimes).


Quick, veer to the left.

In the swing.... see how happy!!!

Charlie standing and having a 'chat' with a very scary baboon.

These photos were taken during breakfast with Aunt Karen at Einsteins just before she left for Australia and New Zealand (he misses you Karen). The shirt says "Captain Adorable" in case any of you were wondering.
