Look Mom, No Hands!

 

Charlie has started putting things in his mouth and letting go so they just kind of hang there. It's really funny when he does it and starts crawling around :)

Pulling Himself Up

 

This is all Charlie likes to do anymore. He goes from the end table to the couch to the bench to the kitchen table just pulling himself up and mostly ignoring his toys. It's really cute :)

 

 

Some Fun Vidoes

 

This is usually what we find when Charlie wakes up from his nap. We had to buy guards for his crib railing because he likes to stand there and chew on the wood. Now he chews on those, and when he's feeling particularly rambunctious, he pulls one off and throws it on the ground :)

 

 

Charlie loves to play with his beach ball :) The end of the video starts to show this, but Charlie fell and bonked hhis head twice on the entertainment center and got a sweet bruise on his forehead :)

 

Double oh boy...

This is what we found when Charlie woke up from his nap yesterday...he loves pulling himself up now!

Charlie pulled himself up on a chair for the first time today...and he's already figuring out how to get down without falling.

Playing in the Crib

When Charlie wakes up from his naps-or just doesn't want to sleep-he sits in his crib and babbles and plays. It's really cute :)

Stuck

Before Charlie could crawl, he was really good at scooting himself backwards. We'd often find him stuck under things like our bed, the bouncer chair, the table, etc.

Singin' in the Rain...in the Living Room

We had a good rain storm a couple of weeks ago, and Charlie couldn't wait to get his hands on the umbrella that we put on the ground to dry.

Now that Charlie is mobile, this is what our living room usually looks like. Watch out for Hurricane Juan Charlos!

How can a baby that small have that many clothes?!

More Crawling

Here's another video to show off Charlie's crawling skills...

Oh boy...

We are in for it now! Charlie woke up from his nap this afternoon and decided that he wanted to crawl! This video is pretty grainy, so we'll try for a better one soon, but for now-enjoy!
