OnMilwaukee.com loves a computer-savvy 4-year-old, which is why Charlie Hartenstein is the perfect kid to be the first "Mini Milwaukeean" of 2007.

"Charlie likes to 'Google' superheroes on the computer," says his mom, Dana, who works for Pursuit Live, a concert consulting business.

When he's not surfing the Internet for images of the alter egos of Peter Parker or Clark Kent, Charlie likes to swim, read and pretend to be -- you guessed it -- superheroes.

"Charlie is very lively, very funny, friendly and outgoing," says Dana.

Charlie, who was born at St. Mary's in Mequon on Sept. 25, 2002, attends a YMCA daycare center. "One of his daycare teachers told me recently that Charlie 'definitely marches to the beat of his own drummer,'" says Dana.

When out and about in the city, Charlie -- along with his mom and his dad, Ken, a sales representative for WKLH -- loves to root for the Brewers at Miller Park, hang out at the lakefront, see the Bucks and Admirals at the Bradley Center and go to plays at First Stage Children's Theatre.

"And he's been working through his fear of skeletons at the Milwaukee Public Museum," says Dana.
