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!)

My Crazy Hippo

This past weekend we took a trip to see my Grandma & Grandpa Peterson, Uncle Adam, and Aunt Kaitlin for Christmas.  The car ride was kind of long for me soooo...me Mom, Hippo played.  I had some great convos with the Hippo.  Listen up!  

Videos

Mom has tried to keep up with videos, but she only has the video on her phone.  I overheard her and Dad talking, and I think Santa is bringing her one for Christmas!  Some of these things I don't remember, but I guess she does.  Check me out...



 Mom always wonders why I don't gain weight, well I can't sit still...I have to stay busy..Kicking!

. 

This is me rolling over...I did this for the first time about 6 weeks ago, but I haven't completely mastered rolling from my back to my stomach.  I did it once, but I'm just not ready to do it again.  But I love sticking my toes in my mouth...mmm they taste so good.

 

 This is how I talk now...I entertain my parents quite abit.  They are so easily amused. 

Firsts

Take a look at all the "FIRSTS" in my life:

First Day of Life:  It was a great day.  I got to meet my parents!  I was a hog weighing 9lbs 2 oz and 22 inches long.  I met a lot of family and friends at the hospital.  It will be hard to learn all there names but they are such good friends of Mom and Dad that I know I will see them more as I get bigger.

My First bath at home.  It wasn't that bad, I really like when Mom washed my hair!  

One of my First Smiles.  Mom was able to catch it on camera eventually.

First Husker Game.  Dad went to the game so my Grandma Potter, Aunt Julie, and Aunt MJ came to watch it with me and Mom. 

First time meeting my cousin Rowan.  He is 23 days older than me.  We are great friends already!  We cheer on the Huskers together.  Even though he lives in Iowa he is a Husker fan.  That is so cool! 



First day in Church...Baptism.  I was very lucky to have so much family join me.  My Godfather, Uncle Matt, and Godmother, Aunt Julie, Aunt MJ, Aunt LaCosta and both Grandparents came and even my Great Grandma Pryor.  My cuz Rowan was there too! 

My First full day at Babysitters...Mom's First day back at work :( 

I love Laurie's but my Mom misses me and I miss her too, and sometimes my Dad. 

First Halloween .  We started off with my First trip to Vala's Pumpkin Patch.  Mom and Dad got some kettle corn and I fell asleep on the hayrack ride... they still got me a baby pumpkin.  I was a cow for Halloween and even went Trick-or-Treating.  It was such hard work I fell asleep in action.

First Thanksgiving.  I spent it in Schuyler while Mom was on-call.  Grandma and Grandpa Peterson and Aunt Kaitlin came and celebrated with me. 

My First performance.  I was Baby Jesus in Christmas on the Hill, put on by the LifeTeens in Schuyler. 

Well I think I've updated you on all the things in my life so far.  I'm impressing Mom and Dad with rolling over and a lot of talking.  You should hear me I'm good.  Hopefully Mom will find time to post the videos she has of me.
