November 2011

Charlie started really having an opinion about things this month. If he wants something that he is not supposed to have, like the remote, my phone, my glasses, or the computer, and is not allowed to have said item he gets very frustrated and throws a little tantrum. I guess my perfect angel has a little bit of his stubborn mother in him ;) Here is a little glimpse of one of his tantrums lol

We celebrated my birthday this month! I woke up on my birthday morning to find a little note and my gifts from Nick and Charlie sitting on the counter. It was such a nice surprise! I was also suprised to find out that Nick had taken my birthday off of work to spend with me and my family, and then we went out on a date night that he arranged with a babysitter included. We also went out with some friends one night while Charlie stayed with my parents. I think it was the best birthday yet!

Charlie is getting closer to crawling, he can stay up on his hands and knees with his belly off the floor and do a rocking motion, but he hasn't figured out how to move forward. 

We took a trip over to  Bass Pro Shop and got Charlie's first picture with Santa. He smiled perfect for the camera, and then as soon as they got the shot he started crying, silly boy! Here is the picture...

I took Charlie's 7 month pictures and got some inspiration from some pictures I found online. I ended up using them for our Christmas card, and Nick made fun of me that I put naked picture on a Christmas card, but I couldn't resist they turned out sooooo cute. Here they are...

We enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving at my Aunt and Uncles house in Springfield. We stuffed ourselves silly, and had a nice time chatting and playing with Charlie. That's about it for November, see ya next month!
