There have been so many days lately that things have happened and I've thought, "I need to blog about that." So. Here I am. Assuming I keep up with this, it'll be a place where I chronicle Charlie's craziness. And boy, does he have some.
In the last few months, Charlie has learned so much. He's a rambunctious, inquisitive, sweet, loving, vertical 15 month old. He's crazy and I love every minute of him. Well, almost every minute. Some days I want to put him outside and let Hank babysit, but I don't. I turn on Sofia the First and let her babysit him. Seriously. Kid loves him some Sofia. He's captivated her.
In the time I've been away from here, we've lost my Grandfather. Pa passed away in April, and I miss him every day. He left behind my Gma, who I think about every day. I was asked to deliver the eulogy at his funeral, and while thinking of the words to say, I realized just how amazing he was. I knew he was generous and loving and a light on his own, but I know now that I took it for granted that he'd always be around. To hear so many people tell amazing stories about how he helped them or how he made their days brighter or how he sold them their first car... it made me even more proud to be his granddaughter. I'm so happy he got to meet and know Charlie. My Charles David, named after my James David. Two special boys who will always be in my heart.
Just to give a glimpse of the personality we're dealing with... I have no idea where he gets it. Bob and I are so mild and mellow and introverted.

The BIG road trip.
Since I'm not the smartest person in the world, I decided to take a road trip alone. With a baby. And a dog. From South Carolina to Louisiana. Not smrt.
We started off the weekend in Atlanta to celebrate SJ's third happy day. How the balls is she three already?! We somehow survived the first leg of drive down there. We stopped once to eat, poop, and rearrange.
After the weekend, we headed West to LA. It took a good 9 hours to get there, with a stop at each state line rest area. Charlie did amazing... until Vicksburg, where he decided he did not want to get back in his carseat. So he then proceeded to scream the rest of the 100 miles to Hometown.
We stayed for a little over a week, celebrated Mother's Day, and then went to Mississippi to see Meme. We eventually made it back to Atlanta, and then back home, not a moment too soon. A now, a pictorial...

Sweet sleeper.
Charlie got to meet his great great Aunt Daisy! She's the original Charlie's big sister.
He also got to meet his special Aunt Lala (Fertile Myrtle).
Plenty of back porch sitting in Hometown for these boys.
Daddy was out of the country, so we sent lots of selfies to him.
Pa, Daddy, and Charlie hanging out.
No, Mommy. I will NOT smile.
