I knew the hard part would be...when I'm sick and I still have to take care of another person. Man, the last two weeks have been really tough! I've been sick nonstop from an upper respiratory infection, vomitting, exhaustion, blah, blah, blah. I'm the type that when I'm sick I'm sick. I don't deny it, I don't keep on truckin', I'm just down and out! I knew one of the hardest things about motherhood would be having to care for Charlie when I'm sick. This month has been the pits! Andy's work hours are insane, I'm teaching, writing papers, and assisting a professor everyday, and poor Charlie is shuffled between two different mother's day out programs and a babysitter. I don't think any of us know whether we're coming or going! I see the light at the end though--one more week of this summer session and then a little time off! It can't come soon enough! Ok, I've used up my energy for blogging--time for a break!

Charlie will cuddle anything and anyone that's willing!













He looks like a big boy holding his bottle. It's too bad that after I snapped this pic he turned it over and put the other end in his mouth. Oh well, he's not too familiar with bottles anyway!













Charlie loves to roll around in his crib. The other day while I was cleaning his room he just layed there poking his head above the rail tyring to watch me. It was pretty funny!


This is Charlie's second try at cereal. He wasn't too happy with me! Luckily he loved it last night and had such a full belly at bedtime that he slept 9 pm-6am. God really does hear my prayers!!









I just love this picture. Charlie LOVES his pacifier and he's learning to hold it in his mouth and put it back when it falls out. That'll be a great day in my life when he finally gets the hang of it!









I don't know what it is about this table leg but he always ends up wrapped around it.











This is Charlie strapped into his swing. This is Charlie NOT strapped into his swing. Any questions?
