Good Hygiene

Charlie has 6 teeth now so we started to teach him how to brush. He still does not really understand why we are trying to scrub his teeth, but he likes to put his toothbrush under the water and suck on his toothbrush to get the water out. This morning, he was on my sink practicing good oral hygiene.

Easter - A Week Late

Charlie is finally feeling better after 2 weeks of illness. I had been saving his Easter basket because he was not up for anything last week, let alone his Easter basket. He found it on Saturday and dumped it out immediately. He loved the paper grass, but his favorite part of the basket was the eggs. He likes to open and close them. He does not care that there is nothing in the eggs; he just wants to open and close them!

First Haircut

Today, I finally gave in and we took Charlie for his first haircut. Once his hair was in his eyes, I knew I had no choice. Charlie did great in the chair and in 5 minutes he went from looking like a baby to looking like a little man.

There are more photos/videos in the 12-15 month album on the gallery page and on  the video page.

Opening Day

Matt celebrated opening day with all of his college friends. Although Charlie is still too young to partake in the fun, he was in gear representing the north side. Unfortunately, it did not help them win.

Charlie's First Birthday

March was a busy month for us. We celebrated Charlie’s first birthday! We actually celebrated Charlie’s birthday twice, once with friends (Charlie has 3 other friends with March birthdays) and once with family. He was sick the week leading up to his big day so we did not know what to expect, but as always he was happy and thrilled to be surrounded by all of his family. He enjoyed his first taste of cake, as you can see from the picture. It was a day we will remember for a long time to come.

You can see pictures in the gallery under “Charlie’s First Birthday”. As soon as we can figure out the camera we will get video up too.
