Happy Half Birthday!! 18 months!!!

Happy half birthday sweet Charlie!!! I can't believe that we have a 1 1/2 year old- where did the time go?!  Craziness!!!!
He had his 18 month appointment last week--his doctor was pleased and all was good! He was really impressed with his weight and height. No one would know that this boy was a preemie!! Makes us very proud!!!
Weight:  27 pounds - 50-75%
Height: 34 3/4 inches - 95%

Our first month of summer has been a fun, but crazy busy one!!! Between buying our new home, packing, and countless showings trying to sell our current home we haven't had much down time.

My favorite thing so far this summer is taking Charlie to all of our mommy and me classes!!!! It has been so much fun!!!! Charlie has a BLAST!!! It has helped him developmentally and socially so much!!




Since going, he thinks our house is a gym.  He is literally climbing on everything and is so proud of himself for doing it!!!

At Art class, I'm doing most of the 'art' work, but we still have lots of fun! I think Charlie has more fun playing with the sand and water than the art though!


We've also been enjoying story-time at the Library- again Charlie loves it!!! And one day each week, he spends the day with Nana or Gigi while I tutor.  He loves the extra time he spends with them!
Other highlights during his 18th month was celebrating Justin's 2nd Father's day.  He loved playing his first ping pong game and hanging out with Dada all day! What a lucky little guy to have such a great Dad!!!


Speaking of Dad- Charlie looks up to him so much! After his dinner, you can find him glued to the door waiting for his Dada to come home with him saying 'Dada, Dada' over and over again!!!
 You can also find Charlie like this during the day- he desperately want to be like his Dada!
After all this time he is spending with Mama this summer, I've caught him doing this in the bathroom.  Yikes- he might need to spend a little extra one on one time with Dada in July! :)

He has become a little more picky with his foods this month.  The foods that once were his favorites he now throws on the floor.  :( He has found his new favorite food though- chips and salsa!! He is definitely a Boggs/Rucker kid!!
He loves saying 'hi' to anyone on the phone! Give him a phone and he puts it to his ear and says 'hi' in the cutest voice!
One thing he has become obsessed with this month is taking Justin's laundry hamper out of his closet and dragging it into the hallway and sitting on it.  Not sure why he enjoys this but he does! Silly kid!
Leave Charlie alone for 2 minutes and odds are extremely high this is what you're going to find.  Oh my golly!!! If we don't close the bathroom doors bring on the tp party...


He loves our park dates!!
He is such a happy and smiley boy- we are so blessed for that!!! 

 Happy 18 months sweet boy! We are so proud of you and love you so much!!!

It's official!!!!

Well.....it's official! We just closed on our new home and we could not be more excited about it!!  We officially will have the keys next week and can't wait to start moving into the neighborhood.  Isn't it cute?!  We think it's perfect for us!!!

Charlie is excited too!!!! Here he is playing peek-a-boo with us in the bathroom! :) He's not going to know what to do with all the extra space!!
We've been busy, busy packing up our house as much as we can- I'm learning quickly though that it's a little harder packing with a little one around.  He's actually been really good and trying to help as much as he can- he loves climbing on the boxes and taking things out and playing with them! Sweet little helper!!!

There are a few projects that we want to do before we officially move in.  Once we do, I'll post more pictures.  So excited!!!

Happy 4th!!

Happy 4th!!!!
 We headed to the Club for a fun evening with family, food, and fireworks!


 After dinner, Charlie headed to the golf green with dad- not much longer and he will be playing with him on those greens!


 He loved taking out all the flags and putting them back in- pretty cute!!! 

Charlie and Nana- he was more interested in taking out the flags than posing for a picture! 
 Papa, Nana, and Charlie
Our family of 3
 Almost time for the show! Charlie loved his glow necklace!!

 The show had started and Charlie LOVED it!!! He could not take his eyes off of the fireworks!!
 Whoa!!!!
 We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th- I know we did!!!

Bath Fun!!

Lately, Charlie has a love-hate relationship with bathtime.  One day he loves it and is pointing towards the bath in the middle of the day.  Other days he runs to the opposite side of the house when we turn the water on.  Can't figure him out! One thing that has gotten him to love bath time again is him throwing his toys in the bath.  Not sure why he loves this- but everytime he throws something in he cracks himself up laughing and bathtime is a huge success.  Here it was from last night- pretty cute!!!

After all the toys were thrown in he couldn't wait to take a bath!!! It worked!!! He's loving bathtime!!

Future Golfer

A few weeks ago, we had dinner with Nana and Papa at DAC.  After dinner, Charlie was ready to play and he walked around on the putting green for a while.  He loved the flags and took most of them out and walked around with them.  Look at our future golfer- just like his Dad!




While he was there he met a new friend named, Jackson.  He walked Charlie around and tried to teach him to play golf.  He was the sweetest thing ever and Charlie loved him!


 What a fun evening we had- I know Charlie can't wait to go back soon!!

Our little climber

Over the past few weeks, our little guy has turned into quite the climber! We started Little Gym a few weeks ago and he thinks that our house is now a gym- he is climbing on everything and he is so proud of himself for doing it!

About a week ago, I left the room for what felt like a quick minute.  I came back in the room and Charlie was like this in his stroller!
I thought there was no way he got into that stroller by himself and was starting to wonder how this little guy could do that.  I took him out and he was not happy about it and started to make a fuss.  He then showed me how he got in the stroller and I was able to video some here-


So, that answered my question on how he did it! I guess he was telling me that he wanted to go for a walk- shortly after that is what we did! :)
