Happy Halloween!

Happy early Halloween! Charlie had his first taste of Halloween over the weekend. We went to the Prudential for the PruBoo event and opening of the new Isis store. He got to wear his peapod costume and walk in the parade. he also had his picture taken by a photography studio. We also did a little (too much) Xmas shopping at the Isis sale. We need to figure out if he really needs all of those toys!


Charlie has really grown a lot over these past few weeks. He smiles and laughs a lot -- especially in the morning. His favorite toy is his Wally mobile over his changing table. He talks to him the entire time he is being changed. he has also started to notice some of his other toys as well, and occasionally and accidentally he'll grab one and hold onto it.

He really enjoys tummy time and is very good at holding his head up without being propped up. he can prop himself up on his elbows now. and if we put his on the boppy, hewill play with toys in front of him. his favorite toy is his mirror. all if this tummy time has helped strengthen his back and neck and he has moved on to sitting, with assistance. he can sit well in his bebe pod positioner and is working on a tripod sit.


he also is a big fan of music. we think it may be due in part to all of the rockband we played this summer :) he loves when i sing to him (probably the only person who does!). we have learned lots of songs in playgroup, although his favorite is take me out to the ballgame. man he will love fenway next summer with the singing and the life-sized wally!

playgroup ends this week. i am so glad i went to a class. i have learned a lot about infant development and ways to play with charlie. plus i met some great moms. i am sad this will be ending, but we will take the next session starting in a few weeks.
