These are a few of Chuck's favorite things

Charlie has a thing for enclosed places. He loves to get his blanket and snuggle down in a box or bucket or even on the floor inside his little playhouse.

We got him this swing for Christmas and Matt just got around to hanging it in the kid's room (being laid off has it's benefits!). Charlie LOVES it! He loves swinging and loves being all closed in so this swing is pretty much his dream come true. It couldn't have come at a better time because he's had a tough couple of weeks and it really soothes him to get in the swing and feel safe and cozy.

He loves getting in this bucket and drinking his medicine laced juice. (please pretend he isn't STILL using a bottle. Thanks)


He also likes to relax in this little plastic bin.



One of the only times we can get Charlie to hold still is when we lightly scratch his body. He completely freezes and gets little goose bumps all over his body.

He likes having his arms scratched so much that he will rotate them around to make sure you don't miss any spots. The cutest thing is when you do it to his tummy...every time we do it, his mouth will drop wide open and stay open until you stop.

He loves his daddy. He was so tired here and ready for bed but we couldn't put him down until he finished drinking the medicine in his bottle. He fell asleep leaning against Matt. So sweet.

Charlie loves to roughhouse with anyone who is willing. Good thing he has a big brother and Papa who enjoy it almost as much as him.

It's been a rocky road but we sure love this little guy and he's worth every bump!
