Bonding with Charlie


Last weekend I went to San Diego for a few nights and I only took Charlie with me. It was fun to just have him and actually be able to treat him like an only child for two days. Sometimes we feel badly that we're always carting him here and there and everywhere and it doesn't really get to be about him.

The exception to that is the mornings. Because he unfortunately wakes up before everyone else (usually 5:15 or 5:30am), one of us gets up with him and just plays with him before the other kids wake up. It's kind of pathetic, but lately we've been taking turns sitting in the car in the driveway until 6:15 or 6:30am when the other kids wake up. He's really fun in the morning, but he screams so loudly (happy screams) that he wakes up Skip, who then wakes up Zadie.

Anyway, this post is supposed to be about how much I enjoyed my quality time with Charlie. He's a really happy baby these days and full of smiles. He's also extraordinarily fat and so that means that he's really fun to cuddle and squeeze. He loves to be tickles and gets the giggles really easily.

We're so relieved that he grew out of that miserable period...and I'm sure he feels better, too!

p.s. This photo cracks me up. I think the look on his face is as if he's taking his senior class photo!
