The first part of January

Charlie decided to start the new year off by crawling...sort of. While trying to move forward he ended up scooting his way across the room backwards. He gets up on his arms and because he doesn't push forward with his feet he ends up pushing backwards with his arms. Here is a little video I captured of that first night of scooting...

We got a new tv for our living room up stairs so that Charlie and I don't have to watch tv on the computer anymore. We got a blue-ray player to go with it that has Netflix on it so we can watch movies and tv shows from there as well as what is on the rabbit ears.  Here is a picture of the new set up. Nick is actually in the process of building a new tv stand as this one was not really made for a tv and doesn't fit very well in the room. The one Nick is making will go in the corner. 

Charlie and Isabel are really starting to like playing together. Here is a little video of the two of them playing...

He has also started dancing when he hears music which is sooooo cute! Not only does he do it when I tell him to dance, but just the other day we were at the grocery store and I looked over at him sitting in the cart and he was dancing like a crazy man to the music playing. Here is a little video of him dancing...

Charlie, Kamden, Megan and I took advantage of the beautiful january weather we have had and went to the zoo. The boys had a fun time looking at all the animals, and then going to the park and doing a little swinging afterwards. Here are a few pictures...

We also had a fun little play date with Jocelyn and Nikki. Jocelyn insisted on bringing Charlie every toy she could find when we told her that Charlie couldn't crawl yet. It was pretty funny watching the two of them, and I can't wait until Charlie can crawl because I think they will have a ball!

Charlie had his 3rd and 4th tooth pop through this month! Here is a pic of #3

Charlie turned 9 Months in January, here are his 9 month pictures. They are inspired by the photo book called "when my baby dreams"

We had to purchase a new car seat this month because my big boy has out grown his infant one. He was still ok in his old one by the weight, but he was getting to tall for it. The one we got is still rear facing because Charlie is to light to be forward facing, but it is convertible so it can go forward facing and also be a booster seat so it should last us until around 80 lbs, which for Charlie will probably be until he is in high school! Here is a picture of Charlie in his new seat...

We also made our first adventure out into the snow this winter. Charlie was not sure what to think, and didn't really enjoy it to much so we were only outside for about 10 minuets, just long enough to snap a few pictures and make a snow angel...
