It's really hard for me to believe, but today my baby is SIX MONTHS OLD! Had his check up this morning and he's in the 84th percentile for height and 29th for weight . . . gonna be tall and skinny just like his Daddy, Uncle Matthew, and Grandpa Charlie. Wow, time has just flown by, and Charlie is getting more and more fun every day! He now loves jumping around in his exer-sauser and doing "EXER-SLAMS!" as Daddy calls them. We've started rice cereal and he gets really excited when he sees the bowl come out of the microwave and knows that it's meal time! But what he loves the most is his dog, Abby. His face lights up like a Christmas tree when she comes into view! He lifts up his little arms and grabs a handful of hair when she gets close, she'll then turn around and drag her tongue across his face a couple of times causing him to grin from ear to ear! The other day she stood at the front door barking to come back in and he laughed louder than I had ever heard before!! We go on walks almost every evening and he loves watching her fetch the ball or a stick at the park. It's so cute watching him watch her, how fearless he is with her, and how good she is with him. Growing up with a dog is one of my fondest childhood memories and I hope Charlie will one day look back on his time with Abby with the same nostalgia.
