Charlie had a big summer! Between trips to the beach, visiting family in Louisville and -- last but not least -- a trip to Peru, he proved himself to be a great little traveler.
In his eighth month he also mastered some fun milestones, such as learning to clap, which he learned from his great-grandmother, Doris ("Darwa").
He also took his first scoots to mobility. We crossed our fingers that he wouldn't start crawling before Peru, because a seven-month flight with a non-crawler sounded much more appealing than trying to hold onto a little guy on the move. Luckily, he waited until the week we got back to start his explorations.
He also became a little more wary of strangers, though he's still one of the friendliest little guys you'll ever meet.
And at eight months, we were able to capture his two new bottom teeth easily, though he also had some teeth emerging on the top, too.
Although Charlie's christening was in May, we couldn't resist getting a few official photos in his christening outfit during his seven-month portraits.
Finally, just a few more sweet pics from seven months:

I love how similar this last photo is to one of Katie at nine months. Coming soon, a big milestone for Katie, her fifth birthday!
