Oh, What a Month...

Well, there you have it...the whole post. What a month it has been for Charlie, Mommy, Daddy and the Puppies. While this post is missing Charlies' one-twelth of one year birthday by a couple of days, I can guarantee you he spent it in grand style. He went shopping, to the Olive Garden for lunch and had people over on Saturday night...it didn't hurt that he shared his one-twelth of one year birthday with his Aunt Amanda...who turned 25 this past Friday. Happy Birthday, Aunt Amanda! It has been a wonderful month. One filled with fun, excitement, anticipation and of course many, many sleepless nights. Charlie would like you to know he has gotten his first job...working at the Stuart hotel.

There are those nights where he is a little angel...whether awake or asleep

Charlie continues his growth and development. He seems to be so happy and so healthy. He is all we can ask for and more. We can only hope and pray that these trends continue. Charlie is beginning to fill out, however, he still has a ways to go. The other morning, I was getting Charlie dressed for the day and put his shorts on...they could have wrapped around him twice. On Friday, Charile gave Aunt Amanda quite the show...as Amanda attempted to pick Charlie up, his shorts fell right off. Charlie is eating well. We are still giving him medicine and special formula due to his reflux, but we are confident that he is getting adequate nutrition and will one day fit into all of his clothes. One of Charlie's two Nanas (Jenn's Mom and mine are both Nana - and were before Charlie came along) bought Charlie a very cool Halloween shirt that reads, " I want candy...". Unfortunately, Charile will be too small for candy this year. Charlie is also prepared for Thanksgiving Day. He now has his own little Dallas Cowboys outfit. As you can tell, Charlie got quite a few presents for his one month birthday. Charile is quite proud of his taste in fashion and all his cute clothes. At his request...we now present to you a fashion show.

Wow. As you can see Charlie is well-dressed. Unfortunately, outside of sleepers and onesies nothing seems to fit all that well; Maybe, one day. Outside of his fashion show and shopping endeavors, Charlie keeps busy playing in his swing, playing with his puppies and watching the Atlanta Braves. Charlie implores you all to keep cheering...because, the season isn't over yet; his Braves still have a chance.

Charlie is greatly looking forward to his trip to Savannah in a few weeks. He is excited that he gets to meet so many new people. He keeps asking me when he is going to get to see (and spit up on) the Papa guy he has talked to on the phone. Charlie says he sounds alot like Daddy, so he can't be too much trouble. Jenn is also very excited about this trip...one day Daddy will make it back to Savannah again, or so Charlie tells me I must. He likes the idea of his Nana and Nana & Papa being in the same place...so much time to be spoiled rotten. He promises to put on his best face for all his visitors.

Lastly, Charlie also got to have professional pictures taken. While I am completely bias in my perception, I have to argue that he is the most adorable child ever to grace the planet. I am pleased to see that he has inherited his mother's good looks. Again, we are a little worried about his hair line.
