Charlie turns one!!!!

Happy first birthday to our sweet Charlie!! He has been such a great baby! At 21 lbs. 12 oz (25%) and 31 inches (90%) he is a happy healthy little boy. He LOVES his siblings and always wants to be around them. They are so good to him. Charlie laughs easily and enjoys being on the move. He took his first steps at 11 and a half months and is now walking as much as crawling. He is so proud of himself. He is so excited for the weather to change. He likes being outside and riding the Gator. Charlie is a stubborn little guy and we never have to guess if he is happy or not. He lets us know that!!! I am so excited he has hit the one year milestone and can't wait to see what this year has to offer him. We love him so much and are happy he completes our family.

Below are a bunch of random pictures of Charlie throughout the last month. They are all out of order, but I think these will give you a good idea of what he has been up t o.

I can't leave him alone for even a minute these days. He made a mess of the noodles and likes getting into cupboards and the fridge.

Loves J and L.

Opening presents.

Showing us he is one on this bday.

Enjoying a cupcake

We were trying to play Wii bowling the other night and Charlie liked to get away of our game. He just can't wait to join in on all the fun.

He loves getting into the pantry too.

Such a happy little man

Riding the Gator with Lauren....

Getting ready for his bday dessert at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

He began by digging in with his hands, but then he decided to just stuff his entire face int he cake. The cake was so cute! Good job Jane!

Having fun driving the car!

Video of Charlie walking. It is funny to watch this now. After just a week and a half, he is doing so much better.

Another thing Charlie loves to play with is a ball. he will throw it and chase it. He will throw anything he gets his hands on. It is so much fun. The other video is Jack taking Charlie on a ride in the backyard.
