The Monkey

One of my friends from Columbus gave Charlie a monkey blanket as a baby present. I handed it to him a couple weeks ago to see if he would pull that instead of scratching his face and he is hooked. He sleeps with it and plays with it all day. It is really cute to watch him cuddle with it and use it to rub his eyes when he's tired. Thanks Heather! It's a hit!

Charlie's 1st time at the pool

We decided to take Charlie to the pool one evening about 3 weeks ago for his first swim, thinking it would be good since the sun was low. However, the pool water had not really gotten warm yet and Charlie didn't think it was such a great idea. He never cried, but had this panicked look whenever he touched the water and started gasping. Needless to say, it was a very short swim. We'll try again once the water is warm.

1st day sitting upright in the bouncer

I finally turned the bouncer from the supine to sitting position a couple weeks ago and Charlie seemed to love it. He was so happy I went to grab a quick shower. When I came back, he was folded in half, sound asleep. I felt so bad. He looked really uncomfortable but it didn't seem to phase him.

Saying Goodbye to the Howards

We had a going away party a couple weeks ago for our good friends Sam and Gayle, who have lived down the street for the past 3 years. We are so sad to see them go. Especially with baby "Will" on the way this Fall. He and Charlie would have been joined at the hip! We love you guys and will miss you.
