Shades, Bouncing, Sitting, Teeth and Haircut

More development to report since my last post. Charlie has figured out what to do in the door bouncer and now jumps around in an uncoordinated fashion, which is better than just hanging there.

We found a pair of sunglasses in one of the boxes of clothes and felt the need to take an obligatory comedy photo. Fortunately, Charlie shared the joke with us.

His teeth finally started to cut through the gums yesterday afternoon. He's been pretty miserable for a few days with the discomfort from them.
He is quite good at sitting up now and can balance for about 30 seconds before slumping to the side.

Finally, Lindz gave him his first haircut today because he was starting to look like a hippy. She accidentally uncovered a bald patch at the back of his head.

Charlie's Chums

On Thursday Charlie had his mates round to play. They all had a good laugh.

He seems to be going through a growth spurt again this week and celebrated his 5 month birthday. Latest weight is 18lb 3oz, which is roughly the same as this fish:

Charlie currently dislikes eating banana and butternut squash. The baby cook-book suggests that we need to try a food 30 times before ruling it out. It only took me one attempt to decide I didn't like parsnips.

This weekend Charlie is enjoying chilling out in his dressing gown and reading the weekend papers.
