The Paper


So, a few weeks ago I was on the computer when I heard Charlie rustling some paper. I looked over to see him pulling paper out of a notebook. I figured hey if ripping up a couple pieces of paper makes him happy why not? A few minutes later I looked back to find this: Charlie surrounded by a pile of paper, paper spilling out of his mouth, and a huge grin on his face. Why did I not think about the fact that he would obviously put it in his mouth? Duh. So I cleaned it all up. A couple days went by and then Charlie was choking on something. I looked in his mouth only to find a soggy piece of paper like 3 inches long. Gross! Suffice it to say I learned my lesson - no more paper for Charlie!


Tag - Charlie's It!


Charlie's little buddy Mack tagged him so here goes.
Here are 8 unique things about Charlie:
1-Charlie loves spoons - any kind of spoon. Plastic spoons, metal spoons, cooking spoons, baby spoons, you name it.
2-Charlie loves water. Bath time, having it flicked in his face, drinking it, ice, etc.
3-Charlie loves to be tickled, but his most favorite way of being tickled involves biting. For example, if I tickle his feet he'll giggle, but if I bite his feet he'll bust up laughing.
4-Charlie still can't crawl but he can get just about anywhere by rolling and twisting.
5-Charlie is a dare devil. He loves being thrown up in the air, dropped, and being pushed really fast.
6-Charlie is a camera ham. No matter what he's involved in if he sees a camera he'll stop and just smile at the camera.
7-Charlie is obsessed with Mimi. Anytime she comes near he'll start squealing and flailing his arms and trying to grab her. Mimi doesn't dislike being around him as much as she used to.
8-Charlie is always receiving comments on his eyes and how big they are. Between his eyes being so big and his mouth being open nearly all the time he typically has a look of wonderment on his face.
9-Charlie loves to eat. I'm pretty sure he'd eat constantly if I'd let him. As it is I feed him about every hour and a half. Which can be quite restrictive when you're exclusively breastfeeding. But my little guy is worth it! :) - And yes, I know that was 9 things rather than 8 but I like to talk about my cutie pie.
Tag you're it - Cadie, Jamison, Dallin

water bottle

First of all - note the previous post on June 12th. It was actually posted today but for some reason it says June 12th...


Charlie is obsessed with water and always tries to steal my
water bottle. I was so surprised when he grabbed it from and just started drinking out of it. I was equally surprised when he drank out of a "real" straw at a restaurant. This little guy is a smartie! He also loves when I'll break him off a little piece of ice to suck on.






Every time he gets a mouthful of water he makes a disgusted face. But then he goes right back for more.
