He was so excited to be able to sit in the wagon like a big boy! And he would hold onto the sides and sit there all good just looking around. And Maggie was being such a helpful cousin! Whenever Charlie would start to drool like crazy she would reach over and dab his face with his bib! So cute!! Memorial Day weekend was a very busy weekend and so much fun! We started it out with a BBQ and swimming with relatives from Bill's side of the family. Charlie also got to hang out with his cousin Hugo (2nd cousin? Distant cousin? Once removed? Anyway it's Bill's cousin Anna's baby). Let's just say Charlie enjoyed the swimming, but not nearly as much as Hugo did! That little polliwog! HAHAHAHAHA
Charlie was happier sitting on the step and splashing;
So we got out and warmed up and hung out on the grass, what a couple of adorable mugs!
The next day we headed to the highland games! Charlie got in touch with his Scottish roots;
Then on Monday it was off to the LA Zoo! Where Charlie and Maggie got to cruise around in the little red wagon. So stylish! You think Charlie enjoyed himself?
He's such a big boy! As for milestone news Charlie now has two little teeth! And I think more are coming because the fussyness has returned! Poor little guy. But he has been sleeping a lot better lately! We were having so much trouble getting him to sleep during the night, he would sleep good from about 2am and wake up at noon for the longest time and it was driving me crazy!! And we tried EVERYTHING! Putting him to a night time schedule, not letting him nap later in the day, letting him cry for a little bit before going to get him...NOTHING would work! But now we get him up earlier in the morning and so far so good! It's just now we have to get used to getting up early again! Ack! I don't know how some parents say they go by "schedules" to keep them on track. With Charlie it's a new adventure everyday! We can barely plan let alone set a schedule! He's just his own baby and no one's going to tell him what to do :) Usually he tells us what to do with all of his babbles! It's so cute!! Melts our hearts :) He'll be on the move any time now, he has all of the crawling motions down he just needs to learn how to do it at the same time so he can stop being a beached whale whenever he gets on his tummy. He's also been practicing with his finger foods and sippy cup too. He's getting there, he just needs more practice because most of it is getting everywhere but in his mouth.So until next month!!
~Karen, Bill, and Charlie
