Fun While Dangling: Part 2....

Charlie hanging out in the excersaucer...
Will at the same age, hanging out in the same way...
           
Charlie always seems amazed when William comes over to "Help"...

I have started putting Charlie in the excersaucer for longer and longer periods and today he actually reached out and made contact with a toy and seemed to have developed the ability to do it with purpose.  It is so fun to see him developing and changing.  I am just not a fan of the newborn stage.  I like it so much more when they can do stuff and interact.  Seeing these pictures brought back memories of the pictures of William in the excersaucer at the same age.  The pictures show how different they look.  Sometimes I think they look a lot alike, but these pictures show otherwise.  William loves to come and mess with Charlie when he is dangling in there, Charlie seems to find him endlessly entertaining.  It is so fun to watch them interact! 
In other news, my Aunt and Uncle came to visit for 10 days, and the kids had a great time getting to know them.  William entertained them with his craziness and took lots of walks with Aunt Tissa.  He was loving all the extra attention.  It was great for me to have an extra hand too.  Charlie is a much higher need baby than William ever was, so the more people willing to hold him, the better.  Thursday Charlie will be 3 months old!  I can hardly believe it!  It seems like it has gone by in a flash, and yet, it also seems like he has always been here.  I am busy these days, changing the office into Charlie's nursery, and setting the office up in the playroom.  I am also busily trying to get organized for our trip to Maine and New Hampshire.  I am so excited to have a few days at the sea....I always feel so fantastic after a trip to the beach!

Apparently I should get mine out. I haven't tried it yet with Reid but if Charlie is old enough then Reid has to be right?

I find that they are ready to use it for short periods way earlier than they tell you. I just watch and see what happens. He only stays in it now for about 10 minutes at a time, but has a great time! Then, his back and neck get tired and he looks exhausted, but I figure it's good excersise...

And I am so glad that you added the names to the pictures. Because I was positive that one of Will not only was a different toy but that it was a different kid as well. Glad to know that I didn't get your kids confused!
