Summer Break 2016  Week 1

Cool down on a hot dat at Felliger Park in Roscoe Village

Rib Fest in North Center with the Cutler family

10 months...the very MANY attempts at a the 10 month pictures!

Charlie is a bit more mischievous (or as John says "willful") than Jack! ;) He did NOT want to sit in the chair for this photo shoot! And of course, once I told him he couldn't stand up in the chair, that's all he wanted to do! :)

Charlie's developments: 

 He started to crawl at 9 months, and he has just started to be able to "walk" with a 'walker' toy. He is everywhere you don't want him to be! If you lose something sharp/small/dangerous, Charlie will help you find it! 

He is still being stubborn about heating "real" food. He is still eating baby food. 

Charlie sleeps very well. Although his is inconsistent on his 2nd nap, he is a perfect night sleeper. 

His teeth are hysterical! He has 2 big front ones on the bottom, and 2 smaller ones next to them. But he has one big one on top that I LOVE! He may have the one next to it coming in, and I am sort of "sad" because I love his ridiculous smile! :)

Speaking of hysterical, that is how Sabina described him when I picked him up Friday! He is very intentional in his actions. He really is a riot! And a stinker! 

I think he makes more, and different noises than Jack did. I always called Jack's noises "angel voice". I would not call Charlie's screeches "angel" like! :)

Like Jack, he is super smiley and friendly! Everyone, people and strangers, all comment on how smiley and happy he is! We did get luck twice on that one. Both are happy friendly kids! 

Jack and Charlie events during Charlie's 9- 10 months of life.... (2nd kid syndrome, not enough time to update the blog!)
