Pumpkin Picking

Today we went pumpkin picking at Stuckmeyer's Farm. What a fun place! We went on a hayride, picked pumpkins in the patch, pet a pony, and shopped the farmer's market. Needless to say Charlie was asleep before we left the parking lot!






Charlie was VERY TIRED!

Dance Baby!

Charlie loves music. Here he is dancing while eating his lunch. Be sure your volume is up so you can hear the music!

An apple a day...

"This apple is a little sour."

"It is fun to nibble on this apple!"


"Okay Mommy, I am all done now!"

Busy Times

We have been so busy lately. Charlie keeps us on our toes. He is starting to walk! He is only taking baby steps, but we are very excited. I have a feeling he will be running soon! He is a wild man!

Charlie has also learned the baby sign for "please." Charlie signs please when he wants us to read a book to him, if he wants a toy, or if he would like us to give him a snack. We are very proud of how well he uses this sign!




"Don't I like cute in my dress outfit? Mommy made me dress up for Cousin Kim's Wedding."

"I love to throw ALL 150 balls out of the ball pit Grandma gave me for my birthday! Mommy and Daddy don't mind cleaning them all up!"

"I am signing please because I want Mommy to give me one of my toys that is out of reach."

"I am not sleeping in this picture, I am pretending. This is my new cute game. I love to cuddle with my big Mickey Mouse from my Great Grandpa Charlie."

Birthday Bash 2009

What a fun party! Charlie is so lucky to have so many people who love him!



"Mommy made me a yummy elmo cake. I enjoyed eating the cake all by myself!"


"Why do I have to take a bath now?"

Birthday Part 1

Charlie's Great Grandma Charlie and Grandma Dorothy came to celebrate his birthday today. They are not able to make the party tomorrow so we had a special celebration with them early. Charlie was able to practice eating a cupcake. Tomorrow he will have his very own smash cake made by Mommy. After seeing how much fun Charlie had with a little cupcake tomorrow ought to be VERY messy.

King of the Castle

We got this cute castle off Craiglist! What a great deal. It was brand new and still in the box! Charlie loves to explore and climb so this is a great new addition to his playroom. We think this will be great to have inside during those long cold spells this winter.
