March

March started off with some fun, Charlie and I took a trip to Springfield to visit Apple Grandma, and Grams. We had a nice time visiting Apple Grandma, and eating all food in sight. Grams of course spoiled Charlie as usual and gave him some home made strawberry ice cream!

We also had some fun at our friend Anne's baby shower. Charlie was the star of the party dispite his grumpy demeanor that day. Charlie liked touching Anne's belly!

We also took another trip to the park with Megan and Kamden. Every time we go to the park Charlie seems to enjoy it a little more. He is so much more mobile, and able to do so much more at the park that he can really have fun. He likes playing in the mulch and going down the slide the best. 

Charlie and I also had a fun time playing out on our back deck in this unusually nice weather that we have had in March. It was rather windy that day and the sheet we were sitting on kept blowing up around us and Charlie was loving it. Then we decided to make a tent out of the sheet so we sat underneath while the wind lifted the sheet tent, Charlie was laughing and smiling like there was no tomorrow. 

Charlie loves his Ugly Doll, and it's really the first toy that he has shown any affection toward. He sleeps with it in his crib at night, and he loves giving it snuggles. We named it Uggy. He also really enjoys his morning cartoon time. Every morning when he gets up he drinks his bottle and watches PBS Kids cartoons. Our favorite is Word World!

Charlie is now 11 months old, and we are busy planning his 1st birthday. Here are his 11 month pictures, one of which we used for his party invites.
