Catch up!

It has only been a week since I last posted- but I have a lot to write... so it will be in a few different posts!

Things around here have been busy- I turned 30, Charlie started swimming, the kids have been playing SO well together, and Charlie said his first word, ate his first cookie, and so much more!

Here are some pictures and watch for more posts tonight!

Disney on Ice: Let's Celebrate!!

Yesterday Lily and I went to Disney on Ice: Let's Celebrate. It was a great show and she LOVED it! We were supposed to go with our friends Kellie and Taliyah... but poor Taliyah has pneumonia and RSV, so the poor thing is in the hospital :( Luckily our cousins Sherri and Emma were able to come last minute! A great time was had by all.

Lily loved it when Belle came on and went nuts when the Toy Story characters came on!

I really can't believe how much they charge for things there... $20 for a program and ears, $12 for a snow cone and mug and they wanted $10 for cotton candy!! I don't think it is right that they charge SO much for things and throw it all in the kids faces... I feel so lucky that Lily doesn't freak out and want things- she is very grateful for the things I did get her! She is still walking around with her program talking about the show!

The cutest thing happened tonight while we were all lounging around... her and Charlie were playing on the ground and she ran over to Charlie and put her arm around him... she started saying "you stayed home with Daddy and I got to go to Disney (she says Disaneey) with Mommy and Sherri and Emma... Taliyah was sick at the 'hopistal" and not come... I give her ears". It was adorable!!

Here are a few pics from the show:

6 month pictures and stats

Here are Charlie's stats from his 6 month doctors appointment:

Weight -17.5lbs

Head- 17.3inches

Leng- 26.5inches

He is in about the 35-40th percentile... just a bit on the small side :) He did amazing with his shots, cried for a few seconds and then smiled!

We also went for his 6 month pictures! He was so happy and full of smiles that the manager asked if she could take some sample Easter pictures for the in-store flyer... So we got a free sheet of those as well :)

Enjoy!

Evening Walk!

It looked so nice outside after dinner that we decided to go for a nice walk to Tim Horton's for a coffee! I took advantage of the light outside to take some pictures along the way!!

Sharing her timbit with Daddy!!


Gotta wipe her hands- can never have dirty hands!

Rolie Polie Olie

Charlie rolls, and rolls and rolls... everywhere!!! We put him down, and he is off... he will see something he wants, and roll right to it! He never wants to sit still anymore. I can only imagine what he is going to be like when he starts to crawl and walk!!

Happy Half Birthday Little Man!!!

Charlie is already 6 months old- time is really flying!!

He is a pretty happy little guy, but has his fussy periods!! We love his huge smile, dimples, and adorable giggles!!

He is so great with people, doesn't play strange, and smiles for everyone! His favourite person by far is his big sister Lily- she just has to be in the same room, or earshot, and he is all smiles!!

Charlie is all over the place now- we set him down and he starts to roll! He is also starting to sit up on his own, he topples easily, but is getting steadier every day!

Food wise he has quite the appetite... he nurses every 2-3hrs at night, and every 3-4 during the day (backwards, I know!). He also eats cereal, veggies and fruits twice a day. So far he has had rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, pears, applesauce, bananas and mangoes! Some of them he has enjoyed- others, not so much! Overall he loves to eat!!

His 6 month appointment is next week, so I will update with his stats then!

In the meantime- here are some pictures to enjoy!!

Little man loves his toes!

First sippy cup... he likes to chew on it, but hasn't got much out of it yet!

He loves to be on the ground kicking and rolling!

All smiles in his car seat!

Wide eyed with Mommy

Reading a story with Lily and Daddy

Mmmm... Sweet potatoes

Fun with Lily, Travis & Taliyah!

Best Buds... Charlie & Travis

Playfit!!

We Love you Buddy!!!

Lily has Bieber Fever!!

Lately Lily has been crazy about Justin Bieber... it started when we were at my Grandparents one day and she danced to it with my little cousin... since then she wants to listen to him ALL the time! She dances and sings when his songs come on, and she notices every picture, at any distance, of him in the stores! She paused last week when they said he got his haircut on the TV, and talks about this now too!
