Somewhat of a New Adventure!!

Well, I have ventured out & giving a shot at something that I've always loved & enjoyed....Photography!! I'm not trading in my nursing license or anything, just having a little fun & see where it goes! So, anyways... I started a website to somewhat showcase my work & thought I would share!!

So, hop on over here & let me know what you think! :)

Smiles!

Pool Time!

Charlie is loving the pool this year! I think he likes the 'kiddie' pool because he can walk around in it & do what he wants! & he is pretty cute in his swim gear! :)

Thomas the Train!

It has been a long time since I have blogged & I will try and get back into it.... Charlie is just a 'little' more active these days & extra time is a little harder to come by! :)   A few weekends ago we took Charlie to Tweetsie Railroad in Blowing Rock, NC to see Thomas the Train! He loved it & was extremely fascinated with Thomas!! He loved to sit/stand and just look at Thomas & we did get to go on a ride around the mountain.  Charlie also loved riding the chair lift up and back down the mountain although I didn't get any pictures of that.....my hands were a little tied up hanging on to the wild man! :)

Brunch with Santa

This past Sunday we took Charlie to have brunch with Santa.  Needless to say, this is the second time Charlie has encountered Santa this year and he was not impressed anymore this time than he was the first. He would hardly look at him, he just sat motionless looking straight ahead occasionally cutting his eyes to see if Santa had left yet. 

 .....he's FINALLY gone!!

But, since I'm such a good Mama, I decided to torture Charlie just a little bit more and we went to see Santa again after brunch! :)

Hopefully, he won't be scarred for life! :)  He still gets excited when he see a Santa figurine or ornament and says "Ho! Ho! Ho!"..... so, maybe we won't have to send him to therapy! :)

My Messy Gymnast/Acrobat!

 Charlie is learning to feed himself using utensils.  While this is a good thing, it is definitely a messy thing!! It's hard not to lend a hand and help the food make it from the plate to his mouth without it spilling all over him or the floor but, I'm slowly getting better at it and so is he! :)

Enjoying some waffles

Another new trick that Charlie has learned (self taught) is standing on the saddle of his rocking horse and balancing himself.  This is usually done while watching TV.  At first, I was a little concerned about him falling but, I've learned that it's nearly impossible to stop him so now we just sit back and observe.  I'm thinking we might enroll in gymnastics or maybe we'll send him to join the circus.......

I don't know if you can tell but, he had just finished feeding himself!

Holiday Spirit!

I just thought I would share a few photos of my cutie pie getting in the holiday spirit! :) This was before (& a few after) we went to see Santa! ....more to come on that adventure! :) Doesn't he just look so handsome?! I am a little biased but, I could (& do) just eat him up! :)
