Local Boy Goes Viral When His Parents Post 'Charlie Dreams Big' On Instagram

SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com) —   A little boy with big dreams has gone viral thanks to his parents and their keen sense of adventure.

"Charlie Dreams Big," shows the 10-month-old in a variety of settings thanks to photoshop -- outer space and the deep blue sea to name just two.

CBS2's Adrianna Weingold spoke on Saturday to the proud parents -- Amanda Zolten and Dave Moldavon.

"He's the one who drives it, he the one that tells us what it's going to be and then I follow his lead and we make it," says Moldavon.

The future sure looks bright for Charlie -- A professional drummer, gymnast, and fireman...he's a jack of all trades.

"So week four was the skier and I love that one because that was one of the first ones where he was in this position that just felt right, he felt like he was just chillin' on a ski lift," Moldavon says.

The Moldovan's Instagram project started as a way to document Charlie's growth week by week. Each picture takes hours to create, but it is a labor of love..

At just one week old Charlie was already juggling. By week 10 he was flying high. Now at week 42, it seems we have a new candidate running for president.

"It shows all the different things that he could be someday. As a new parent I think anybody would agree its fun to think about what they could be and I hope that he finds what his passion is and that he follows it and that's really what this Instagram account is all about," says Zolten.

It seems mom and dad are also dreaming big. They're hoping to turn  Charlie's Instagram pictures into a children's book and they're working on an app so other parents can easily create images like theirs.
