Summer 2010

Charlie loves the lake!! He loves to splash and sink his hands in the sand.
Our beautiful Little Lake 14 (view of the lake from the cabin).

Happy 4th!!

Don't let go Daddy!

Charlie and his Papa ... best buds!

Already a half a year!

Charlie isn't sure what to think of his new cousin, Caleb crying!

Now Charlie opens wide for food... it only took a month!

So fun to play with Charlie's long hair and shampoo...... Alfalfa Baby

Mr Charlie Owen is seven months old!!!

Finally tolerating being on the belly. This was quite the challenge for Charlie.

Mr Blue Eyes

Can you believe it, Charlie already had to get haircut #2!! He's such a ham--he just ate up all the attention. Charlie's hair is more expensive than his daddy's to cut!

Charlie was seven months old on the 19th of May.....where does the time go? His new activities that he loves are rolling all over the room until an object stops him, jumping in his "Johnny Jumper", talking on the phone with papa and Lou or his Auntie Lanie, and eating lots and lots of prunes!

CHARLIE GETS A HAIRCUT!

Sitting so well with his little cape on...he tried to eat it...hair and all.

This was the before shot... literally RIGHT before. He didn't know what was coming.

The three Thomas generations

Charlie loves the swing at daycare. He often falls asleep in it.

Cousins Casdyn and Ryker came to visit... Charlie loved having them here.

the quiet moments

Sneaking up one morning on papa, Lou, and Charlie, I knew this was a cherished moment. My precious mom and dad reading to my first born; a book about his very own name. I'm grateful my mom and dad will get to know Charlie and I pray he will have many years with his Papa and Lou!


I can't belive we are coming up to 5 months with our little one. We're enjoying this stage so much now. The way his eyes light up when he smiles, hearing him discover his voice and all the sounds that he can make, and the way he holds on to his hair when he's falling asleep. My favorite is when I bring my face close to his and he reaches both of his chubby arms up to it and explores my features with his equally chubby hands! The best moment in the morning is when I lean over his crib and our eyes meet and he gives me the best Charlie smile! What a way to start my day. It's amazing how nothing else matters in the world at that moment, except for the two of us!
Daddy and Charlie have formed a special bond since daddy gets to be with Charlie every morning. I often leave for work before the two sleepy heads wake up! Kirk changes, dresses, and feeds Charlie before he takes him to Paula's(our daycare provider).

Speaking of daycare, things are going well. Charlie has many friends there that entertain him all day. He often comes home exausted! He even has two dogs and a tank of fish to watch. I miss him dearly, but know he's learning so much when he's there. Plus, my favorite part of the day is going to pick him up...I love that!

Well, until next time... blessings to all who visit our blog!

Growing so fast!

My favorite two boys! Wonder where Charlie got his blue eyes?

Charlie's learning to sit in the bumbo styling his "I'm kind of a big deal" t-shirt.

Mama's boy.....

Always putting something together. Putting together his exer-saucer.

In the exer-saucer for the first time... didn't last long, but this will be a new fun activity! (March 9)

Month number 4!

CHARLIE HAS A NEW COUSIN! RYLER CLIFFORD. Only three months apart, these boys are going to be t-r-o-u-b-l-e! Already nicknamed "chuck" and cliff"

Four Generations...Great-great auntie Terry, Papa, Mom, and Charlie!

Two down, one to go!!

"Quit you're crying, or I'll pinch you again!"

Charlie's first trip to the Science Museum. Papa and Lou, Rhonda, Lez, Olivia, Izabel, Mommy, and Charlie all took a day and visited the dinosaurs!
