Visit with Grandma & Grandpa

Charlie loves to walk (w/ help) up & down the hallway

Well, Grandma and Grandpa went home on Saturday after spending the week with Charlie and I. We had a great time playing, relaxing, and shopping together. Now when Charlie gets up in the morning, he looks to see if G & G are in the living room waiting for him. I just tell him that they will return in a few weeks. Tim and I are so thankful that my parents make the drive to spend time with Charlie. Who wouldn't want to?!

Grandpa is refusing to read Dr. Seuss to me!

If I sit on him, maybe he'll stay longer

This is the new blanket that Grandma made me

This is scary (great) Uncle Terry, but Gramps said he was OK

(I don't get why he doesn't have a hairy face too)

I love you Grandma - See you soon!

We Have Teeth!

Hurray! Charlie had two teeth poke through the surface on Saturday night. We didn't realize it until the next morning when he was chewing on Dad's finger. He has been as talkative as ever and full of smiles. He is practicing standing w/ and w/o help to strengthen those legs.

We had the wonderful opportunity to play with Claire last week while Karlie was at Mayo. Charlie was so excited to have another small body to play with. Claire wasn't sure at first but warmed up to us as the day went on. We are so lucky to have cousins for the kids, on both sides, that are around the same age.

On Saturday, Charlie took his Great Grandma Millie out for lunch for her birthday. He had a great time playing with GG Millie and Rol. Grandpa Rol gave Charlie his 1st taste of cinnamon ice cream, which he couldn't get enough of. We hope everyone is well!
