Happy Days Are Here Again..................





Well after another sinus infection Charlie is on his way back to being himself. We still can't get rid of the congestion but it's not in his nose so what are we to do.....makes it a little hard for him to eat but this too shall pass. These days he's all over the place - I was in the kitchen the other night and Charles was in his office when I looked over and not only was Charlie off the blanket - he had managed to carry the activity gym with him and had it lifted OVER his head while half of him was under the recliner. When I looked at him, he had amazed himself as well and had that mischevious look on his face....it only lasted a second so there was no time to get a snapshot of it. I'm sure he'll do it again soon. Diaper changing is another opportunity for him to show he is in control. He will not stay still for a second and you have to make a game out of it with him when holding him down to get him changed....talk about a strong willed little boy!!!!! Next week it's back to our normal routine of work after a few weeks of not having to wake him up in the morning to get him ready to go to Ms. Kandice's. He's still sleeping 11-12 hours every night so this will be another change and hopefully it won't disturb his napping routine very much. He's such an easy going baby and adding SO much love and laughter to our lives. I never thought I could love this way again but God has opened me up to a new world and for that I am grateful. Here are a few more snapshots of our precious Charlie....growing up so fast and teaching us the wonders of little children.


Take care and love to all!

Charles, Julie and Charlie
