I know I say he is happy all the time, but 90% of the time he is talking, smiling and laughing. His smile is infectious and I love when he gives me the smiles now..not just random smiles, they are meant for his mommy!!
When he is tired he is usually not grumpy or cranky to much, but rather serious instead!! Which is nice when he is tired that you usually get "serious Charlie" as opposed to "cranky Charlie"..but don't misunderstand..cranky Charlie does exist!!#3 He is a daddy's boy
Not going to lie..at first when I came to the realizations that he just may like Bradley a little more it made me sad, but I am at peace with it now!!!!!! I had been warned by many that Dad's just are sometimes not as interested in all things baby until the baby's are a little older....Well, Charlie and I both benefit from a super involved Daddy that has been hands on since day one, 24/7. It paid off for him cause he is the favorite!!!! I love to watch the 2 of them play and love on each other.
#4 He is pulling up!!!
Before we move on..the crib has been lowered and we were supervising while he was in the bed and he has never been in danger!!!! With that said..he is just doing new things each day and it is just too much fun to watch. I was telling my mom #2..mother in law..that I know everyone else has a baby that crawled at one point, but it was the most exciting thing ever to us!! In one week he is doing so much!! We were on a walk tonight and I asked Bradley if he thought everything would be this exciting next time around..he just gave me the beat down look accompanied by "of course, why not?", but in my head I heard...."Yes sweetie, each child will always be exciting and a new adventure"...Anyway, pulling up is a new favorite trick!..I was just proof reading this..yes, believe it or not I do that, and realized that Bradley changed my "Yeah, sure" to "of course, why not"....
#5 His thumb sucking
I love that he does not need a paci anymore..he kinda likes it every now and then but if he is super tired he can just insert thumb!! I used to not be a fan of thumb sucking..in regards to dental issues, but it just looks to stinking cute. He does not do it often so I am not that worried!! It cracks me up that he keeps his fingers up at all times though!#6 He can say Momma
This is not his best Momma, but Allene caught it on tape!! I don't think he knows 100% of the time that I am Momma, but he says it looks at me and bust into a huge grin usually followed by a giggle!! Needless to say, I am abusing the "Say Momma"!!!!
#7 He makes us laugh
This was at dinner on Sat night at the Hibachi grill..he was fascinated by the meal begin cooked in front of him with lots of fire and so Bradley and I enjoyed our meal the whole time uninterrupted!! His eyes in this video crack me up..the noise he is blinking at is the cook making lots of fun noises!!
and one to grow on..
I love that he loves Brady so much and gets so excited to see him...he just recently began really reaching for Bradley and I but he has been reaching for Brady for months now!! He sure does love him!!

I'm sure you know this, but it only gets better abd better!! David and I say all the time that "this stage is definitely our favorite...", and we've been saying that for over a year and a half! I have to say how GREAT it is to watch you guys and see how absolutely in love you are with your absolutely loveable Charlie! Keep enjoying every minute! And kiss that little guy from me!
I can't believe how big he is getting! And still so stinkin cute. What did he wear for Easter?
I will post a pic in his Easter outfit..once he wears it!!! We were at the Dr that sunday morning for what we thought was an ear infection. I feel certain he will wear it soon...it goes great/matches Bryson's easter outfit!
He is getting so big and so cute! I really enjoy reading about him on your blog! I feel like I know you, even though we have never met! (That must also have something to do with the fact that Melanie talks about you a lot...in a good way!) :)
