Charlie says Da-Da!!

I suppose it could be our imagination but it sure sounds like Da-Da to me!!! It usually sounds like "it's daddy" which would make sense because Michelle says that all day long. We can't believe how far Charlie has come. He has even played solo for 3 days in a row now, this is HUGE!!!

Rabbit!!

I really have nothing to say except that I really don't like the picture I posted yesterday so here is just a silly one of Michelle popping out of the pack n play. She played peek a boo with Charlie for about 30 minutes yesterday. It was a bit amsuing seeing the toddler inside the pack and play and the infant (oh my he isn't going to be an infant much longer is he?)on the outside.

Spring?

Since the calendar has told me it is spring I'm in major purge mode right now. I can't get rid of enough things. I wanted to get rid of all my baby items and brought them upstairs to take some pictures. As some of you may recall, when Charlie was born Michelle particularly loved the bouncy seat. Apparently things have not changed except that Charlie supervises now.


We had a great afternoon yesterday cleaning up the back yard. We brought out the outdoor pack n play but Charlie lasted less than 2 minutes in it, however Michelle loved it!!! I should have gone back inside to get the camera but we were on a roll raking. I hear the weather is to be in the 60s tomorrow so perhaps we'll get some pictures then.

Happy Easter

New Phone

I finally got a new phone and have been trying to figure it out. Although I'm not quite certain how most of the features work I found the perfect opportunity to use the camera on it when Michelle finally found the courage to get on the school bus at the mall. She enjoyed the bus when it was not moving but wanted off the moment it started. I put Charlie on and she was okay but still not thrilled guess I have a ways to go until Disney....




Michelle and I attempted to color eggs for Easter. Although it was a project that consisted primarily of her putting stickers on the eggs and then taking them off, we had fun. Charlie was easily amused with his Easter card from Nani and Grampa and his dollar bill while we did crafts.







EDIT: Charlie has a 9th tooth!!!!!! We've been wondering why he has been sleeping so much lately (6:30pm-9:00am) and being generally fussy but I guess we know why!!!

Shhh.....

Need I say more????

Back from Florida

We had a nice time in Florida this week. The weather was not the best we've had in Naples but hey it was much better than what was offered at home. Michelle and Charle loved swimming in the pool. Michelle really got the hang of swimming and was putting her face in quite a bit!! It was hard to get pictures but we tried.





Michelle received a bunny from Mimi that she would not stop playing with, we were all excited to put the bunny hop away for a bit when we were leaving today

On one of the cooler mornings we took the kids to the Zoo. Michelle actually liked it quite a bit. We're not sure if it was because of all the walking she could do or seeing the animals. She loved the Zebras and the Monkeys but that is probably because everyone else was sleeping!! Charlie took the Zoo in on his Mommy's back and throughly enjoyed it!!
