He is officially not little anymore..

Okay, so I am teasing you!! He will probably always be little tinny in my eyes, but he is getting so big! We went to the Dr on Monday..he was 20.2 lbs and 27 inches. He was 90th% for height and weight and 50th% on his head. The Dr was impressed with his sitting, etc....I was glad he said that, even at 6 months I can appreciate someone saying "You've done good"!!!! I picked up his 6 month pictures last night and as soon as I scan them I will post them..until then here are some recent pics and videos!



Bradley's shirt was covered in bitter biscuit by the time it was all said and done.

He was going to town on the bitter biscuit..he cared for it way more this time around when we gave it to him!!

He never gets messy usually with food, but for some reason Carrots are just messy..maybe that's why I avoid eating them! Bath time was a must last night..

I was trying to video him with both feet in his mouth, but as soon as the camera was out..so were his feet. There is something about the changing table=feet in mouth!!

He is almost never still...he is always doing this jumpy thing!!

First thing in the morning are my FAVORITE time!! He will be fussing and when you walk in, as long s you turn the lights on..the smiling and squealing begins!! I am SOOO glad he is a morning baby!!

Please check my sisters Amber's Blog for and exciting update in our family!!! Here is a hint..I am gonna be a Aunt for the 7Th time..holy cow!!! You must check out her blog..it is probably the most creative way I have seen to announce a pregnancy!! I love that he loves his toys...especially his duck!!

I could not decide which smile I like better!!
Such a goober

He is not smiling, but I loved his "serious" look!

He is kinda over pictures at this point.
These next videos are not great or exciting..but I put them on here mainly for Aric & Amber and the kids. They are not exciting, but at least they get to see him do stuff....please excuse my voice.

Naked Baby Ahead!!

Well, I have had issues with Blogger, but I think I corrected the problem I made for myself!! Nap time is almost over..so this will be quick!! This is my Valentines gift from Bradley...I Love it!! He got the idea from Kendra and I am happy she shared her great idea!! We don't usually do much for Valentines Day..more like every other year we celebrate. This was an off year, but I got a gift anyway!! He ordered this for me for Christmas, but it was not ready until late Jan so it turned into a V-Day gift. I was reminding Bradley of my favorite Valentine story..so Bradley...Our first V-day together was in 2002..I think. We had only been dating since Nov & all my girlfriends kept asking me what I was getting him. I replied..nothing..we have not been dating more then 3 months..were not doing gifts. On Valentines we go out to dinner and after dinner he bust out a little blue box..shut up! I felt like total crap, I got him nothing!! He later informed me that he actually got the braclett in Dec for Christmas. We had only been dating a few weeks and he was afarid I would get him somthing..so he had the gift on standy by in case I busted out a gift for him!!! Even I knew it was to early for Christmas gifts!! Anyway, he gave me another great Valentines gift this year!!..and this time I got him something!! A new V-day tradation..a red dinner with the Brooms!! I LOVE to color food.. and I am pumped about next years dinner!! Can't have dinner and dessert without needing a bath!! Our first mixed bathing photo!!
He's not sucking on his thumb..just chewing on it..all the time!


Sharing is fine and dandy now..let's check back in a few years!
Cass is such a helper!!

Kinda can see his smile!

Love this hooded towel!!!

On Sat night we played over at Lauras house and Charlie got in some good Libby time!! Love their blank stare...
Holding hands..its okay for now!!
She is not loving it some much here..it could be cause its dinner time!!

"Give me your paci" ........ "No, it's mine"

Okay..this cracks me up!! Charlie has two 60lbs dogs at home and he loves them!! Loves to touch them, stare at them and he loves when they lick him!!! This is Laura's dog LC .Charlie is TERRIFIED of all 15 lbs of her!! She did not do a thing but look at him and that was all it took to make him cry...we took advantage of it and got a few laughs out of it!!! He's not dmaged forever..someday he will find it funny!!!!

I am to lazy to check for typo's since spell check is still down..deal with it!!!!

Sweet Pea

Okay..blogger is acting up!! My pictures are here, but all I get is a bunch of mis-matched letters!! The first pic is Charlie before we began our "first meal"..we were pepping him up. Aparently no need to do that. He never made one "yuck" face and there was not enough swet peas for him!! I am not one of "those" people who eat baby food..you know who you are..but I will say...those sweet peas smelled so stinkin good!! I did contmeplate a bite, but good judgement kicked in to remined me that the texture alone would probally send me over the edge!

The last pic..he ate all the sweet peas..then his cereal and then took a bottle...and he slept like a baby!! Baby food rocks!! I have a viedo of him eating, but I am not trusting blogger today! Have a great day!

Happy 6 months!!

Here is my 6 favorite things my boy does these days!!

1. I LOVE that he sleeps so good..98% of the time. He naps usually 3 times a day for about 4-6 hours and goes to bed at 8ish and sleeps through the night!!!! This allows mommy and daddy good sleep too!!!

2. I LOVE that during bath time he has learned how to splash...really splash. Last night I was wet from head to toe, but I did not have the heart to make him stop. He was having to much fun!

3. I LOVE that he eats so good. He sits perched in his chair with mouth open and I love that he enjoys every bite!! He loves his bottle also and it's nice he can hold it on his own..sometimes!

4. I LOVE his screams..his happy ones!! You just cant help smiling and laughing at him when he sits there and screams..and trys out all his "pitches"!!

5. I LOVE that he can "self entertain" and does not need to be held all day long! He is now able to turn on his rainforest in his bed..and he has randomly done it at odd hours....which so far is funny!!

6. I LOVE how he love to hold and touch your face...he may not mean it as sweet as it is, but he puts both hand on your face and smiles and smiles!! He really loves Daddys facial hair too!!

I have told Bradley many times..we are SO in for it with our next baby..cause I just dont think you get lucky enough to get 2 that are this stinkin great and happy!!
...I am at work or else you'd get a great picture along with this!

What's up with no spell check..anyone else haveing this prob???

Were rockin!!

Of course my family rocks, but what I am gettting at is that Charlie is gettting on all 4's all the time and he rocks, and rocks, and rocks!! I dont know how long they do that before they acutally start crawling, but I know my world as I know it is about to change!! No more putting a toy by him and cleaning, folding clothes or cooking. From then on out I will just be chasing!! Here are some pictures over the last few days..can you believe in 2 days he will be 6 months...HOLY COW time flies!!!

I love his outfits every Sunday morning!! He looked like such a big boy today!! I bought this shirt when I was pregnant..cause I knew it would be a boy..and I was right, are we really surprised!! I just cannot help thinking how good God is everytime I pull out something that I bought when I was pregnant. I was only pregnant for 8 weeks, but I know no one is surpriesd that I bought a ton is that short period!! He knew all along I would have my boy in 9 months..just on his terms!!
Okay..this onesie rocks!! This was his V-day gift from Moms and Grandaddy...I cannot wait to put him in it. I laugh every time I see this!!
I am not big on Disney stuff, but Bradley likes it so I got his just for him..the bottom is my favorite part!!


Rockin on the ground with the boys!


Please ignore my voice on the viedo..why does your voice sound so different on viedo then when you hear yourself talk. By the way, in my head my voice sounds better!!!

Allene got some great viedos of Charlie, but I could not get them on cause of their length, but I will have to have her get some more...him screaming, breaking toys and rockin!! Once again..no spell check.....sorry!!

Weekend recap..

So, not much has been going on..My mom, Christy, Charlie and me took a weekend trip to Canton and stayed in a B&B and then did some shopping!! We had lots of fun and Charlie did great. Bradley and my dad went to the deer lease so I took Charlie with me....I know when he gets just a little older that the deer lease will always win over shopping so I will take him now while I can!! These pics..as usual..are way out of order, but at least they are up! On Sunday when it was 70 degrees outside I had Charlie in shorts and a t-shrit and he just looked to cute and so much like a big boy in shorts...now that I typed that I looked carefully at this picture and I noticed that the shorts have been removed in this pic..oh well, there is one below..somewhere..of the shorts!
For some reason last night he just could not warm up so I got his favorite blanket and actually put it on his head and attempted a burrito wrap with a 20lb baby..yeah, that lasted!! He did warm up though..at least I assumed cause his lips were not shivering anymore!

Here he is eating breakfast in bed and the Bed and Breakfast!! We slept in the same bed together and he did great..that was a surprise to me!! Our morning did begin at 6 am as opposed to our usual 7 am!!
I went to put him into his crib last night and he must have been having a great dream cause he smiled and it lasted long enough for me to get the camera!!
Okay...remember how we were having sleep troubles..Prob sloved. Yet, somehow I feel like a bad parent due to the solution!! Atfer he eats or when he is tired..sometimes you can rock him to calm him into getting sleepy and then put him in his bed. But most of the time just lay him here and turn on the TV and he goes to sleep in less then 5 min. I swear Bradley and I do not watch that much TV and I hate it that the TV can put him to sleep..not enought to stop the bad cycle, but still!!
Cute shorts....btw..this outfit cost me less then $3!! I love to shop off season and get great deals, but I think that has to stop for a wihle casue he is wearing anywhere from 6mo-18mo...So I dont know what size to buy!!

Fingers are always in the mouth!






They were watching some secret Lost (the TV show) stuff on the internet..I am even more confused by the show now!!
Such a cheese face!
Canton wore him out!
Below are some fun viedos from our weekend getaway!!!
BTW..spell check was not working again..so sorry in advance for the mistakes!!
