Charlie turned 7 months old on Saturday, and as seems to be the case for his monthly b-days, we were out of town. We took a long weekend and met the Wolfes in Toledo. The kids played from morning until night every day, as did the grown-ups, and we had a great time. We relaxed, played at the lake, rode bikes, played games and ate!! It was a beautiful weekend and we loved seeing all the fall colors and our best friends.
As for Charlie - month 6 was a big one for him. He really started to grow-up and has hit a lot of milestones.
* He can crawl correctly, and is all over the place. Today I found him in the dining room consuming dirt from one of the plants that he crawled over to and flipped over.
* He babbles all the time, and we LOVE waking up to the sound of him chatting it up from his bedroom. Baba and Mama are current faves.
* His first 2 bottom teeth came in on Sat morning (7 months exactly)
* He has started to pull up onto his knees and feet, but he isn't very coordinated at it yet, so he wipes out and bonks his head several times a day. Like his brother, he is un-phased by injury and just gets up and does it again.
* He started sleeping through the night all on his own this month. He was never too into his pacifier, but for some reason he started to really like it this month and now when he wakes up at night he just gets it for himself and goes back to bed. I dream feed him before I go to bed b/w 10 and 11, and then he sleeps until about 7. He will also play, coo and talk in his bed in the morning for a really long time. Matt doesn't actually get him up until about 7:40, and we think sometimes he is awake in his room entertaining himself for up to an hour before that. How lucky are we?!
* He is still very chill, especially compared to how Alec was as a baby, but he has developed an opinion. He gets mad when we take things from him or when he can't reach stuff and he isn't afraid to tell us.
* He is eating solids 3 times a day and does really well with them. Aside from pees, we haven't run into anything he doesn't like to eat.
* He is adorable, and smiley, and so sweet - we all love him SO much! Here are a bunch of pics of both Charlie and the weekend.
He insisted on having my brush in his monthly photos
with Zachary
and Zoe - she LOVES him!
Double trouble at the lake. Logan may be the only other child we know who is as crazy as Alec.

Before our ride - also check out my new cruiser!
Charlie was fascinated with the baby in the trash can
so much so that he wanted to give it kisses, and yes, he was kissing a trash can
He is also so into putting everything in his mouth- I probably took 500 leaves away from his this weekend.

Happy Birthday Charlie. You and Uncle Roddy as little ones share over turning and nibbling plants!
Looks like a lot of gun and I LOVE that pic of Charlie kissing his reflection, what a cutie :)
I don't know which baby I like the best, baby with a stick or baby kissing himself! Maybe baby with a stick-just adorable.
It looks like you all had a great time. I wish more children could get grungy dirty playing in a creek. That's what we need!
