The Last Month...


Williamsburg




Charlie learns to turn the page and starts reaching for Mimi. (Luckily Mimi is a pretty good sport :)










Graduation! Way to go Adam!











Sightseeing on the Mall.













What a cute boy!















Sucking on those toes








Charlie LOVES his tongue - sticking it out, rolling it, chewing on it, etc.



First Tooth


You'll have to look close but you can see Charlie's first tooth peeking through his gums. My little baby is growing up!

The Tube


So Mimi has this tube that she loves. As it turns out, Charlie loves it too. Now that he's rolling all over he has been known to roll over to the tube and push on it or kick it because it makes a crinkly noise. Today I put Charlie on his play mat in the living room and went into the kitchen to make dinner. I heard him crinkling the tube so I figured he'd rolled over there (quite a distance by the way). As the minutes passed I just heard more and more crinkling so I went to check it out and this is what I found...
It was so funny I just had to grab my camera. I never would have guessed that he was even capable of getting himself into the tube. As I took pictures I was surprised to see him continue to work his way through the tube. He was half crawling half rolling.




By the time he was 2/3 through the tube he decided he didn't like it so much. But before I even had time to pack up my camera he was all but the through the tube so I waited it out.




And finally he pulled himself through the other side. Too funny!









Oh, and by the way, Mimi was watching the whole thing unfold with a look of great concern on her face. Oh Mimi, if only you knew that Charlie will be stealing your toys for the rest of your life...

Enjoying the nice weather









After a long hiatus here I am again. Life has been really busy the last month. Adam graduated, Charlie got a tooth, we all had the flu, Adam's parents visited, blah, blah, blah... Anyway, I'll try to post more often.
Adam made us a nice lunch and we went outside to enjoy it in the nice weather. Charlie mostly enjoyed playing with and eating the grass.
