Happy Halloween 2009

Chris's mom made Charlie a turtle costume this year for Halloween. She lives 3 and a half hours away so we did a couple emails back and forth asking for measurements.

Then Chris's mom and dad came up to visit on Halloween and stayed one night. My parents also came over to see Charlie in his costume.

If it wouldn't have been so close to bedtime, I think we would have gotten more smiles out of him.

We didn't take him trick-or-treating but he enjoyed standing at the door while all the trick-or-treaters came to our house.

Happy 4th of July

For 4th of July we went to Pomme De Terre Lake and spent a whole week camping (in my parents RV.) We didn't go out on the lake every day and when we were out on the lake we stayed in the shade as much as possible. But Charlie really loved the water. Although he didn't much care for his lifejacket!
I was really anxious to find out how he reacted to the fireworks. He took a nap before it was time to watch them. Then we went down to the boat that was on the shore and watched the fireworks from there. He just stared at them and seemed to really enjoy it. He didn't jump with the load noises or anything.

Easter Bunny

From 2009_04_04

Bass Pro Shops had pics with the Easter bunny that were free. So we went today and it wasn't even crowded. Charlie slept right through the whole thing, which I suppose is better than crying!

St. Patty's Day

Chris's Spring Break fell on the week of St Patrick's Day. It was also mid 70's today so we decided to go to the Zoo. Charlie Slept in the BabyHawk carrier for the first part. We stopped for some overpriced lunch - I got nachos, yum! I fed Charlie in the shade and then he was awake in the stroller for a little while and then fell asleep.
