Charlie

I thought it was about time I posted a little something on our gorgeous son Charlie. We desperately try to ensure that we balance our time and attention with the children (as does any parent), however in our situation we find that he can sometimes be slightly overlooked. As we are often to and fro'ing from the hospital at a moment's notice he is left waking up with a grandparent looking after him wondering where we are and more importantly where his big sister is (we are lucky to have great grandparents who are able to step up to help at short notice).

Charlie turns 17 months old tomorrow (3rd) and he is our little lovely monster. He climbs everything possible and attempts impossible feats of bravery! If he can grab it, he will. If he can eat it, he will. Charlie can trash a room in about 30 seconds flat (with much help from Francesca). He has a great sense of humour, is a charmer and uses it to gain much attention. At the moment he is a very keen on being held which is hard work, he just wants lots of cuddles from me and gets very cross if I am unable to give them.


He is ultimately a fantastic cheeky monkey who absolutely adores his big sister, copying most things she does. We have been so lucky to have a younger sibling to Fran who is so laid back and accommodating. One of the best times of day in our house is bath time, as they both have great fun splashing about creating chaos!

It is no surprise that he sometimes gets fed up with the constant hospital trips. We are hoping that during Francesca's next maintenance period she will be able to go to nursery more often, this will result in me being able to spend much more quality time with Charlie and go with him to playgroups etc.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our little man, who we all absolutely love and adore.
