Favorite Things To Do:

Most times, Charlie is a sweetheart and loves to:

Watch Lauren and Daddy play ice hockey
Play Dress-up
Race Lauren around the house
Play with trains/cars/super heros
Cuddle with Mom and Dad
Sneak snacks out of the fridge and pantry
Climb up into the car and strap on his own seatbelt
Get dressed on his own
Wrestle around with Lauren, Daddy, and Mommy
Riding his tricycle very short distances


   

                           

But other times, Charlie can be a handful.  Since he is unable to speak too many words right now, he often gets frustrated and acts out.  And boy can he whine and make a mess!!!


       

But we all love our Charlie Jack very much and could not imagine life without him.  From his flirtatious little grins and big hugs to his major (and sudden) meltdowns, Charlie fits right in and brightens our day.  Watching how much he has grown, even in the past few months, has been fun, and we cannot wait to see what the future has in store for him.

Happy 2 and a half years Charlie Jack!!!
