Funny kid

Christopher is a funny, funny boy. Not a day goes by that he doesn't have us laughing about something. I need to be better about writing these down!

The following happened within a 2 hour span this evening.

I picked the boys up and Christopher asked if I had a snack in the car. When I said yes he said, "What it is?"

Without going into details the topic of pooping came up and he said, "Do you go like this?" And proceeded to scrunch up his face and grunt.

While lathering him with lotion after his bath he looked at me and said, "You are doing great mommy."

And finally, to round out the day he sang the following song to me. They sing it at school before they eat but I've never heard him sing the whole thing. "God our Father, God our Father, we thank you, we thank you, for our many blessings, for our many blessings, A-men, A-men." Melt. My. Heart.

What will tomorrow hold?!

Charlie is 11 months!

Charlie is 11 months old. And. Always. In. Motion. July was a great month for us! His highlights this month were:

• Eating a lot of new foods. He's always up for trying new things. His favorites are still homegrown squash and zucchini as well as yummy summer nectarines and pears.
• He had his first trip to Lake Texoma and really liked the water and boat ride.
• We once again stayed out of the doctor's office for a whole month. 
• He loves to pull up on things - the ottoman, chairs, end tables. 
• He and Christopher play great together - for the most part - and really have a good time making each other laugh.
• We had some professional photos done (of both boys) and they are stunning. Charlie was a trooper through that process.
• We were in our pool several times and he just loves splashing in the water.

July 4th at Lake Texoma

We spent July 4th up at Lake Texoma. We actually ventured out the night before and spent the night. A lot of logistics to coordinate with two wee ones, but really such a good time! It's just never long enough.

 Charlie loved the boat ride!

...and he was so relaxed by the time we returned to the dock. Ha! 

Boating lessons with Uncle B.

Ahhhh.... 

Where's Charlie?

Father's Day 2012

This is how we roll...

Unexpected surprises

Today Charlie and I were in his room playing when I decided to change the sheet on his bed. After I got it changed I put him in his crib to keep him contained while I did a couple of things in there with him. And who knew...the little fella decided to pull up on the crib fully for the first time. It was so fun that I was right there and happen to have my camera. He was quite proud of himself!
