Chalie is 10 months old!

I cannot believe that in just 2 short months Charlie will be turning 1!  It seems like just yesterday that I found out we were expecting another baby!  Little did I know the joy that wonderful news would bring.  He is such a happy little man!  He is very much in a Mommy stage at the moment but soon enough he will be walking around and no longer wanting me to pick him up.  So, I guess I should be taking advantage.

He loves to play with his big brothers.  They love having him chase them around the house.  He plays with their toys (usually tries to get his hands on their cars) and they are quite good at sharing with him.  Zachary and Nicolas have the knack to make him laugh.  When Charlie erupts in his belly laughter, it is so hard to not laugh along with him.

He is a wonderful sleeper and is a dream to put to bed.  When he's tired it is very obvious... he usually scratches his head and will start to wave "night, night".  He snuggles right into his bed and gets cozy under his blanket after being covered up.  He always wakes up in a good mood and gives us the biggest smile when he sees us come into his room.  We never really know how long he's been up since he doesn't cry when he wakes.  He can spend easily 30 minutes playing in his bed before really making noise.

He is on the verge of walking.  He is getting more and more steady on his feet and does not want to sit.  So, he will either be standing and cruising around furniture, or he is crawling around on the floor.  He is trying to figure out how to pull himself to standing but since he is still doing the army crawl, he can't figure it out.

Here is my gorgeous 10 month old boy:
