Two of Charlie's angels...

We had dinner with our sweet friends on Labor day (after we came back from Marshall) and Charlie loved getting to play with Mary Margaret!
The husbands on a walk with the babies. I love this sweet picture! Reminds me of how much I love summer-time...
Sweet babies! (Actually Meaghan monogrammed that outfit for Charlie bear before he was born)
I can't believe MM is already 1!!!!
MM is ready to escape
Sweet bear enjoying the ride
Another weekend we had so much fun hanging out with the Beebys!!!! Charlie and Vivian even took a bath together.
Eating their toys
Crazy hair
I hope they go on a date someday and we can show them these pictures to embarrass them :) That night we put the babies to bed, ordered some pizza, drank some yummy wine and played their Wii! Loved it! It was such a fun night, thanks Beebys!!

Labor day weekend

We also had a great Labor day weekend visiting my parents, sister-in-law and nephew and nieces! (And more friends and family too...)
Charlie really enjoyed his bath time in the sink! I have this picture as my background image on my cell right because I think it's so cute!! He's getting so big!
Gigi styled him some crazy hair
Daddy, Charlie, Papa Jess and I went to feed Papa Jess' cows too! Charlie loved looking at the moo cows. We even have a new song now that we sing in the car. We just changed the words to "Old MacDonald" to "Old Papa Jess he has a farm, E-I-E-I-O...." Charlie loves to sing along with me too!
Daddy got him all dressed up for the Tech game!
Look at me, I have 6 teeth!!!!!!!
Izzie was super excited to see her cousin!
I think she wanted to pull on his hair too!
Our sweet babies are growing up fast!

MHS 10 year reunion

Labor day weekend we all headed to Marshall for my 10 year high school reunion. Some of the girls got together with our babies. Charlie was playing and found Mia's pacifier. The boy has not even wanted a paci since he was 4 months old. Looks like he enjoyed it for about 5 minutes, then he gave it back! :) Thanks for sharing Mia!
Holly and her sweet baby, Grace. Holly and I have known each other since kindergarten so it was so fun to catch up with her!
This was the best picture we could get of all the kiddos! :) (Charlie is on the couch to the right)
He was worn out after all that playing!
Some of my sweet friends on Friday night: Whitney, Sara, Carmen, Holly & Jamie
(Kendall was sick so she didn't come)
Carmen and me (Check out her pretty baby here)
Whitney, Carmen, me, Taylor & Holly Saturday night (we got a group shot but I don't have a copy of it)
Some of my oldest friends from pre-school, Doug and Lee

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. :)
