Throughout the summer we have been reading books to Charlie about animals, talking about the sounds they make, and letting him watch his animal and fish Baby Einstein DVDs in preparation for going to the ZOO this fall! We finally made it to the zoo September 25th, and boy did we have fun! Jimmy rearranged…

I recently had the privilege of going on a date to Starbucks with my little men. These were our beverages… (tall decaf skinny latte, short decaf whole milk, and short decaf bottle…) and these were my dates… Henry was awake while we were there, he just fell asleep on the way home. Charlie sat in…

Charlie, Henry, and I recently met up with Jeni and went to Duke Gardens in Durham. It was a beautiful, hot day, and we had a great time! Under a magnolia tree. It’s always exciting to Charlie to find diggers! So sweet!

I recently signed Charlie up for two classes through WF Parks and Recreation. I really love giving Charlie a variety of learning experiences, so I thought this was a neat opportunity. It’s also a fun way for the two of us to get away and have some Mommy-Charlie time! The class started with a musical circle…

On one of Jimmy’s recent days off we headed out for a nice lunch and the Marbles Kids Museum. It was a great way to spend an afternoon! We started with lunch at Olive Garden. We all enjoyed our entrees and then had some pumpkin cheesecake for dessert! Charlie liked it so much he just…

Charlie has really enjoyed his new table and especially likes to color and work puzzles on it. One day he decided to have snack there. He tried out one seat… …then moved to the other! Yesterday Charlie and our neighbor Sarah Grace shared an apple for snack: Today they had chocolate popsicles! Yum!

There have been a few changes around here lately, so I thought I’d share the news (no, I’m not pregnant). First of all, Jimmy is in a 6 month IT intensive course to obtain 11 computer certifications from 3 different companies (Microsoft, CompTIA, and Cisco). He’s well on his way- he’s earned two certifications so…

This year for Dad’s birthday I got to take the boys up to VA for part of a day to visit him! It was so much fun to visit on a Monday afternoon now that he is retired! We had celebrated his birthday when they came here the week before, so this was an extra…

Our little Henry Bug is four months already!  Stats: 16.2 pounds, 25.25 inches long (At 2 months he was 12.13 pounds and 22 inches long.) We continue to give him opportunities to eat cereal, and he is getting the hang of it. He still loves to be swaddled and is a good little sleeper. He…

Last Thursday night, August 30th, Henry had his first taste of cereal! He has been a really hungry baby lately- waking up some in the middle of the night again sometimes to eat- so Jimmy suggested we go ahead and start him on cereal. He’ll be 4 months on Tuesday so it wasn’t a big…
