Bumpo Sitting



Charlie is now able to sit in the bumbo (or bumpo, as it is pronounced around here) seat for 10-15 minutes at a time. He loves it!




He likes to sit in the kitchen and talk to me while I cook and he likes to watch the dogs and see what Lullabelle and Sandy are up to.

Shhh


I may have mentioned this before, but Charlie is a natural in the car.  Give him a minute and he is fast asleep.  He may complain if we get stopped at a red light, but as long as the car is moving, he is snoozing!

Droolin'

Lately Charlie is a droolin' fool.  See the glisten on his chin? it's a constant around here.  We don't see any teeth yet, but with this amount of drool they can't be too far away from making an arrival.

Hope He Used Deoderant


Today, Charlie decided the best place to nap was with his face planted in Marc's underarm.  When Marc tried to move him, Charlie gave some screams that rivaled when he got his first vaccination shots. So we left him there! Good thing Marc was freshly showered :-)

A Few Things

Charlie experienced his first snow on Sunday!  No pictures, because it was just too cold.  But he saw it in the car to and from lunch with Grandma Dot and Papa Kirby and when he walked in and out of the Outback Steakhouse.

Monday, Charlie tried rice cereal for the first time.  I've been putting it in his milk for a few days, but this was the first time with a spoon.  He was not a fan.  Charlie couldn't just suck it down like in the bottle. It took too long - he would scream in between spoonfuls.  Next time we will have a bottle first and then try the cereal.

On a non-Charlie related note, it is Fun with Septic Systems around here.  We are lucky that the problem is with the distribution box and drain field and not the septic tank itself.  There's no sewage backing up in the house and we can still shower, flush and wash clothes. But I was hoping that Santa would be bringing me something fun, not more drain fields.

Charlie Loves. . .

The mobile on his crib.  It's a hand-me-down from his cousins, and Charlie is so grateful to now have it.  If we need to put him down for a while, we can lay him in the crib, turn it on and he will talk and talk and talk to it.


He also loves to try and suck both thumbs at the same time while watching the mobile.
