Being 2 1/2

Charlie is officially 2.5!! He has graduated from the monthly posts- but I wanted to highlight his life as a crazy 2.5 year old.....

He is a very picky eater.  He would eat mac and cheese, spaghetti, beef/cheese rice or peanut butter and jelly for every meal if he could! Sometimes he can be a bit demanding when it comes to requirements for eating time.  Not sure why he needed his golf bag with him--but we are just glad he is eating and don't ask! Maybe we have a future golfer on our hands!
This is what dinner looks like after he enjoys spaghetti
He also enjoys eating breakfast with his sunglasses on
He is obsessed with fire trucks and firefighters! This is his "firetruck hat" that he wears everywhere! I guess I can see the resemblance?? He also runs through the house making the fire truck noises all day long!
He likes to be called the Big Bad Wolf- again not sure where this came from but he tells everyone he is the Big Bad Wolf.  Oh my golly!!!
He can have a "terrible 2" moment at any time of the day.  This happened when we came home from a playdate and he realized he was home and wanted to go back and jump on the trampolines....
 or when he doesn't want to go on a walk with Mama or baby Luke!
 We are currently potty training and he loves having no clothes on.  This is how you will find him most days in the morning or after his nap time! Yikes! I think the monster shirt is about right!
He likes to tuck all of his animals in  and cover them up with his blanket before falling asleep.  He also gives them a kiss good night- pretty cute!!
He goes from walking to sprinting in a matter of moments.  I get my daily workout from chasing after him! Maybe we have a future track star on our hands.

He enjoys hanging out with me while I get ready in the morning
He likes to dress up like Mama and Daddy
He can be really sweet and help with baby Luke's bath time

Happy 2.5 years crazy boy!!

Another one down :(

Just as things were starting to calm down a bit after Justin's neck surgery, Luke's birth, and buying and selling our house, this happened....
I've been working out at 5:30am because I quickly realized that was the only time I can fit in in now with 2 boys.  I recently joined a boot camp class that was awesome.  I was loving it and starting to feel like I was getting back to normal after having Luke. Friday I was running on the pavement, tripped and fell.  I busted up my knee really bad and fractured my elbow.  Really?! Who does this? I can't straighten my right arm, lift the boys, feed Luke, drive, etc.. Basically I can't do much of anything without something hurting! It really stinks!! 

I am thankful for Justin who has stepped in as Mr. Mom and all of our family who has offered help.  Praying that it heals quickly and I'm back to normal soon to enjoy the end of summer with the boys before the school year starts again.

4 months

Happy 4 months sweet Luke!

We had his 4 month check up last week and all was great.  Below are his stats:
Weight: 14 pounds, 11 ounces- 32nd%
Height: 25.25 inches- 53rd%
Head: 16 inches- 19th%

The big milestone this month was his head lift.  He even rolled from his belly to his back once, but we weren't expecting it and didn't catch it on video.  Way to go Luke!


He also started smiling more this month- he is such a sweet boy!
He has found his hands and they are in his mouth all the time!
This boy is full.   
He loves night time reading with his big brother
He also enjoyed hanging out with his big brother this month

And enjoyed bath time
He is such a calm and laid back baby- hope this continues!!

Happy 4 months sweet boy!!!

Happy 4th!

We had a fun 4th this year.  The day started with Matt, Dawn, Miles, and Kennedy at our neighborhood parade!

The fire truck led the way!! Charlie love it!!
He also loved the suckers that they threw to the crowd! 
 What's next Mama?



 We then headed to the neighborhood carnival.....
.....where Charlie immediately found the choo choo train....


 ...and the petting zoo!

 We then headed to Pops and Gigi's for a fun afternoon of BBQ and swimming with the McGraths!
 Baby Luke's first time in the water!
Sorry about your hat, Chase. Hope it dried out.

Next up were the fireworks.  Charlie had been talking about them all week and was excited! Here he is before heading to the park! Cute!!

 Aunt Chrissy and Uncle Chase met us there too!
Family of 4!
After the fireworks both boys were wiped out!!!!
