On Christmas Eve, our little Charlie turned 8 months old. James no longer calls him Be-Cha (although Matthew & I sometimes do!), but he has recently introduced the new nickname "Chwabie", in addition to calling him "Snoopy" or "Snoopy Dog". I kind of worry that the poor boy will grow up not knowing what his name is!
He was sick when we took the photos, hence the runny nose. Big brother & Dida were on hand to help solicit some smiles. Charlie's so good natured, though, that it wasn't that hard to do :)
About a week and a half after he turned 7 months (December 3rd, to be exact!), Charlie performed his first official "crawl" while we were in Chicago:
He had been army crawling for a while, and doing a couple of single crawl/hop thingys, but this was the first time that he actually hands-and-knees crawled. Now we can't stop him!
He really enjoys exploring the house, especially James's toys (much to James's dismay) and the cats' food & water bowls (much to Wrigley & Boo's dismay).
He still doesn't like solid food, but does enjoy sucking on an apple or orange slice (it's the swallowing part he's not a fan of). He also has a new tooth - his upper left canine - for a grand total of three teeth.
Do these glasses make me look smart? |
Love this little guy!!
