snuggling with her daddy
We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving in Kerrville visiting Carson's family. I need to say that my mother-in-law ROCKS!! She spoiled me and Charlie the whole visit... cooked lots of yummy food, gave Charlie lots of lovin' and let me catch up on some much needed sleep. I even had my first outing without my sweet baby, while Wendy watched him. I went to the movies with my friend Ashley to see "New Moon." Thanks Wendy, love you!!
Family picture... do Wendy and I look outnumber by the men?
Noni and Boppa couldn't get enough of their Charlie
Nathan, Charlie, Carson & Blake... two Red Raiders (old roommates) and two future Red Raiders if their fathers have anything to say about it! :)
Sweet little Blake (our godson)
Charlie also got to meet his crazy Uncle Landon over Thanksgiving
Charlie used Justus' phone to call all his ladies!!
Here he is hanging out on the couch like a big boy with Justus and Noni
This is my best friend from college, Allison who FINALLY got to meet Mr. Charlie!!!!!! To say she was obsessed is an understatement. :) The only time I held him during our visit was to change his diaper... then back into her arms. Charlie loves you too Aunt Alli!!
Now Charlie needs Allison and Jeffrey to have a baby for him to play with in Kerrville (hint, hint)
Allison, me, Charlie, Carson, Jeffrey and Macy
Our good family friends, the Morans, came over for dinner on Saturday night. Here Charlie is with Mandi, Justus and Klare. The night was cut too short girls... I could have played Mexican Train and put together puzzles all night!!
Charlie and Uncle Andrew
2 1/2 weeks old. I was trying to take a pic of his shirt that says "Here Comes Trouble"
Carson tried to take some pics of our little Charlie-bear in the fall leaves but he was too sleepy
I love how expressive he is in this picture, just thinking about life! :)
And waving at Carson... don't you just want to squeeze him!!!!!!!
Charlie and I made our first road trip this past weekend for my sister-in-law's baby shower! He did so well on the car trip there and back to Marshall and slept the whole time. (3 hours) What a trooper! This is Laura with her mom, Carolyn, and my mom at the shower. It turned out to be a beautiful shower and she got lots of great gifts. It was great to see my family!!
Here I am with Mrs. Renee' at the shower. I grew up with her boys but she was my mentor in high school and it is always a joy to see her sweet face when I'm home.
Carson's (paternal) grandparents came to visit their first great grandchild!! Mom A and Papa couldnt' get enough of him. Mom A's father was also named Charlie. :)
My cousin, Kevin, and his girlfriend had to come love on our little man too. Shelby was so good with him... I think she needs to move to FW and be our nanny!! 
Here he is sleeping on his changing pad at my parents' house, 3 1/2 weeks old. What's funny is that he sleeps like I do with one leg hiked up. For all of you mom's out there, DON'T WORRY!!! He doesn't sleep on his tummy if I'm not watching him or at night... he sleeps on his sides or back. He was doing a little tummy time and it just wore him out!! 
He put his own hand here!
His shirt here says it all!
Our little pumpkin
Charlie didn't want to take pictures... but here he is with Jack as Jack Sparrow!!
