Visit from Noni and Boppa!

Charlie loved getting to see Noni and Boppa in August!
He just woke up from a nap when we took these pictures.... can you tell?
"Let's play in the grass Noni!"
Now he's a happy boy!
The fam
Boppa could hardly put him down
Playing in his toy box (precious little tiny hiney!)
Isn't that face just precious!

10 months old!!

Sorry I am just now posting Charlie's 10 month stats and he'll be 11 months in only 4 days!! Yikes, I'm behind. Charlie figured out at 10 months how to crawl up on boxes and has been practicing climbing up a few steps at his daycare too (since we don't have steps in our house, I guess he'll have to figure that out there). Dont' you love these little pjs? :)
Charlie on his little scooter... he doesn't go anywhere but he is obsessed with the green roller ball on the back! (yes, he needs a haircut but I'm dreading the thought of it)
Charlie and Daddy after his bath! Big 10 month old boy! If we say "splish splash" he goes WILD in the tub and just laughs!!
Crazy hair after his bath
Sweetest boy in the world
Uncle Justus (Carson's brother) moved into our back house a in August too! He is attending law school in FW and Charlie loves the extra attention of having Justy around... well, in this picture he's really more interested in the remote!
Charlie giving Dada kisses!
I seriously love this boy!
Playing with Lilla at Caroline's birthday party (take note because I think we might have Charlie's 2nd birthday party at this same playground... it's our church!)
Charlie, Molly and his buddy, Hank! (they are 5 weeks apart)
(he's messing with his right ear here because he can't seem to get over this ear infection... I'll keep you posted on that decision soon)
10 month stats:
about 19.5 or 20 pounds
about 30 inches long
Charlie got 4 top teeth this month! He has also officially graduated to his big boy carseat this month (still facing backwards). He is eating so well, but just likes to take his precious little time. Humm... where does he get that from? Maybe his slow-as-molasses mother? He waves "hi" and "bye-bye" and signs "all done" and "milk." He says mama and dada but not really to the correct parent yet! We're working on a few other signs too. I looked on his baby monitor one day and saw that he was about to get out of his crib so we took that bumper out that day!! His still cannot tolerate milk and very few milk products (like cheese, yogurt, etc) so we'll see what we can do when he turns one. I plan to not give him soy milk after one and hopefully try something else like goat's milk or coconut milk (so he can still get enough fat intake). Geez... too many choices! One thing he has mastered is blowing the duck call... we'll post a video soon, it's hilarious how much he loves that thing. Of course Carson is encouraging the duck call and trying to teach him to put his arms up when he says "touchdown"... such a boy! :)
Charlie we love you so much! You continue to fill our lives with joy! You truly are the biggest blessing and we thank the Lord for you everyday. Don't ever forget that, little Bear.

Prayer Request

I've been meaning to post this...

Kristin, one of my friends from high school, has a daughter, Madie, who was a near drowning on August 25th. If you have a moment, please check out her website here and pray for their sweet family.

Day care

Well from the look on Charlie's face (below), I'm assuming that his first day of daycare wasn't too bad! He went for few hours on Monday (Aug 9th) and then his first full day was on Tuesday. He didn't sleep much but had lots of fun!
Sweet blue eyes
He came home to a fun new toy too!
You might be thinking he has some kind of skin problem... nope, they did tie-dye the first day! Apparently they stripped all the babies down to their diapers, laid tarp down and helped them splash around in some buckets of dye. I heard they had a great time!
This is the final product below with his footprint in the middle... precious, right??!!?
He has made lots of new friends, gotten to make homemade apple sauce, finger paint, play in the sprinklers, learning how to drink from a cup without a lid and so much more!! The only bad thing I have to say about his whole experience there over the past month is that after only 4 days of daycare, Charlie got an ear infection. Poor baby! Other than that, he loves it and we're really happy. :)
