8 Month...Wowzer.

Happy 8 months to me!  First I want to thank my parents, they are wonderful and have managed to keep me thriving for 8 whole months. Amazing!  To honor my wonderful 8 months of life I have included a few pictures, imagine that.  I actually have some pretty big news now that I am 8 months.

Here's a throw back pic of my birthday!  I've really changed, what's up with the brown hair?

This is the new way that my mom finds me sleeping.  She said she wanted me to get better at tummy time, I don't see the problem.  She always asks me, how did you get this way when you started on your back?  Like I know Mom, I'm sleeping, duh. 

 Macarena anyone?

Looks like I'm teething in this one...but good news...I have 1 tiny little tooth finally showing.  My Mom saw it today now that I am 8 months.  It's kinda sad but today I spent the whole day at home with Mom because I was sick, and Dad is out of town.  Fever, cough, congestion, and then on top of that this tooth.  Pretty miserable day for me, but nothing is better than cuddling with Mom when I am sick.  I think she likes it too.  I hope tomorrow is a better day. 

Have a good day, thanks for checking me out, I hope your last 8 months have been as good as mine!  Charlie



I'm A McCutie

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Check out the bib...my favorite yet!  

 Showing off my Irish side :)

Technical Difficulties

Well hello again!  It has been awhile.  I was having some technical difficulties with my computer, but now they are figured out and boy do I have a lot to share.  I've been a busy boy lately, doing the usual things, teething, rolling, kicking, eating, and Exer-Saucing.  I have also managed to turn 7 months with all of this and even had a special surprise for that.  Watch this:

Channel 7, KETV news celebrates 7's on the 7.  So if you turn 7 days, 7 weeks, 7 months, or even 7 years they post your picture.  I can't believe Adrian Whittsett said MY name.  I love watching these guys in the mornings. 

I also made my first trip to Gothenburg, NE to visit my Great Grandma TD.  It was a lot of fun, and the car ride wasn't too bad.

Here's me with my ashes.  Apparently Lent has begun and because I am Catholic I celebrate this day called Ash Wednesday where they put this on my head.  Mom says I will learn more about it later.  Okay I guess.  This is one of my favorite faces, "Oooooh!"

Now if you look back at the last picture, not only did I want to share my first Ash Wednesday with you, but you will notice my hair was a bit longer than this next picture.  YES, I got my first hair cut!  Mom did it and I think it is pretty cool!  Now I look older?  I over heard Mom talking to Laurie (baby sitter) and she forgot to save the clippings!  Can you believe her, it's a good thing Laurie is around to tell her to save those in time so  the garbage man doesn't take them away.  What would she put in my baby book if that happened?  Silly Mom. 

Long hair again...mmm carrots.  I've become quite the messy eater these days.

Prunes and apples!



Not much going on here, just chillin' at Grandmas, as you can tell from the bib. 

And last, but not least, this is me on St. Patrick's Day Eve.  This is my Good Luck Bear and my matching shirt that says, "Hug me I'm Irish"   

 Whoops Mom, not ready for that yet. 



And tomorrow....the Bib.

Bath time

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.  I haven't done much, but Mom has kept up on some pictures. 


So...I might have spit up a little bit on my shirt.  Mom insisted we take it off, but I swear it wasn't that much!  Next thing I know the camera comes out and "I'm a big boy" with my shirt off and pants on.   Whatever Mom. 

Here's me on my Mom's birthday. On her 30th birthday she said I was the best present around.  Trust me I didn't just get her me in a bag...Dad and I picked out other presents and somehow I ended up in the bag?

Bath time.  I have this cool robe now that I fit into.  I love wearing it before PJ time.  Let me know what you think I've started combing my own hair now....well kinda of. 

 Not sure what I'm doing in this picture, I swear they catch me doing the craziest stuff. 

Thanks for stopping by again....I'll see you soon.

Happy Valentine's Day

Now I know everyone is going to be checking for my Valentine's Day celebratory bib so here it  is:  taaadaaa!

Here are a few of me...mommy's valentine, I'm getting better at taking pictures my mom says. 

I have to get to bed but here are some pictures of me these last couples months-

Rowan and I playing.  We love to put things in our mouth and sit up now.  It's amazing how big we are getting.  In fact I'm almost tired of hearing it from people.  Did they think I was going to stay a baby forever?





So this is how I keep you all up to date.  This is me busy at work on my laptop.  If I could only figure out how how to upload all these videos I have.  Sometime soon, but for now enjoy the pics...I wonder if I can get a webcam for my vtech laptop?  Then I could skype!

Talk to you soon...I'm off to bed...goodnight noises everywhere. 

MLK Day

Apparently my Mom doesn't celebrate MLK Day...well at least with a bib.  Hope you enjoyed your day, I went to Laurie's... played, came home...played, ate dinner...played, took a bath, read books and now bedtime.  Great day, great life.  Love Charlie.

Catching Up

Wow, it's been a long time!  Don't blame me, I've had plenty to share, but my Mom wouldn't let me play on my new laptop (that I got for Christmas fromGrandpa & Grandma Peterson) until our house was "back in order,"  whatever that means.  All I know is it mean chores.  That's a bad word in my vocabulary, Mom says I must take after my Dad because I don't like to do chores.  Oh well anyways, here is the last 4 weeks of my life summed up.

First Christmas celebration was at Grandpa & Grandma Petersons.  My Aunt Kaitlin and Uncle Adam were there also. When we first got there some lady was there taking pictures, I had no idea who she was, I just went with the flow and smiled.  Then I stayed with the boys, that was cool, while Mom went to a ballet with the girls.  Blah.   Then we opened presents and I got a lot of toys and books.  But my favorite part of Christmas was that I was able to play with Brett, I think that is my Grandparent's dog, but they keep saying, Adam's dog?  I don't know exactly, but I do know that I like her! 

Check out the pictures, these were from that lady.  The flash on Mom's camera didn't work so none of the pictures turned out from the weekend.  I'm really upset...I hope my Aunt Kaitlin sends Mom some pictures, or maybe Uncle Adam, I know he got a knew camera for Christmas. 

Then Santa came to my house, wow that guy is awesome.  I don't even care what the toys were but more what they were wrapped in!  I love wrapping paper and bows.  They are sooooo fun to play with! 

This is my new Dino...Dad says I love Dinos.  I guess I behave better whenever I have Dinos on.  He is so silly.

Mom insists on taking pictures of me in bibs every holiday...I'm not sure why but I guess this just goes with the other bibs I have, a pumpkin, turkey, and now Santa.  I can't wait until the next holiday to see what is next.  I wonder if she celebrates Martin Luther King Day?

Then we went to my Grandpa and Grandma Potter's house for Christmas.  It was just as fun!  We unwrapped a lot of toys, clothes, and books.  I can't wait to read, my Aunt Carrie gave me these books with my name in it.  I'm not sure what they are about, but Mom said I will appreciate it more some day.  I'm sure that is not the last time  I hear that.  I also found out that I am going to be a Minnesota Twins fan.  My Aunt Julie and this guy Tim gave me a shirt to support that team.  I'm not sure I've even watched any baseball yet, football, yes, but I was too young for baseball season my Dad said.  Then I got a Penguin toy from Aunt MJ, I just sit and kick it. 

Then I got to play with Rowan.  Oh it is so fun to play with him.  Rowan, his Mom, and Dad gave me a red wagon for Christmas...oh my gosh...it is sooooo cool.  Rowan and I are definately going for rides in that thing forever. 

 Rowan and I have so much to catch up on when we are together, here's one of our many conversations. 

Rowan:  Charlie do you know where your toes are?

Me:  Are they like my hands, because believe me I know where my hands are.

 Rowan:  Oh Goodness Cuz, you are so funny, I can't believe you just said that.

 Rowan:  These are you toes!  See under these socks.

Rowan:  Here I'll show you. 

Me:  That is awesome, you better show me how to crawl once you learn.

We have so much fun together Rowan and I.  Him, me, and the wagon are going to be best friends just like Mom and me :)

Since Christmas I have been laying low doing normal daily activities.  Here are some pictures:

Bath Time!

Mmmm...eating rice cereal...and the spoon.

Reading my favorite book, "You are not a kitten or a hen or a dog.  You are not a cow or a Snort!  You are a bird, and you are my mother!

 Sleeping :)

And this was my face watching that horrible Husker game.  I  should have gone to bed. 

Last but not least my other big news....I rolled over from my back to my tummy.  I did this about 6 weeks ago, but anyone that knows me, knows I love to kick on my back.  But, now in the last couple weeks I do it regularly.  My Mom caught it on video and I will post it soon.  Apparently I have to go to bed now.  Goodnight noises everywhere.  (Another fav!)
