Happy 3rd Anniversary!!

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of Troy and I getting married!! It's hard to believe it's been 3 years but, it seems like we've been together forever (probably because we were together 6 years before we got married)!  I will have to say this past year has been extra special because of sweet Charlie Cash.   I'm a very lucky girl to have such a loving and caring husband and a darling baby.  :)

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Troy!!  I love you!

Scarysaurus!!!

We've had a little dinosaur, Scarysaurus, around our house but, don't worry he doesn't bite (hard) but, he does drool ALOT!!!  Since Troy and I won't be here to spend Halloween with Charlie we have played dress up a few times with him!! He sure does look cute in his costume!

I don't think I'll have to worry about Charlie trying to eat up anyone but, I think I MIGHT have to worry that someone will want to eat him up!!!!!!   How could you not eat that face up?!!??!!   :)

Company & (early) Christmas in October

Last week, an early Christmas present arrived for me Charlie......a MUCH needed present.  He got his highchair from his Gran & Gramps!  When we put him in it, I think he was a little shocked as it was much different than eating in his bouncy seat but, he seemed to like it and so did I!!!!

Thanks Gran & Gramps!!

This weekend my parents and Grandma came for a visit.  We had a good time together and I know Charlie liked the extra attention!  I put Charlie in his dinosaur costume so they could see him in it..... I think he may be the cutest little dinosaur that I have ever seen! :)  (More dino pics to come!)

TEETH......We've got TEETH!!!!!

It's official......Charlie has TEETH!!!!  Yes, you heard right- TEETH, plural! :)  He cut both of his bottom teeth last Thursday! He's been a pretty good sport through it.... a little cranky at times (but, who wouldn't be?- 2 at once!)  So, we've been doing a little extra gum rubbing around here and changing bibs even more frequently!........I'm sure the next one's will be right around the corner!

To EaT or not to EaT????

Yesterday Charlie and I went outside for a little while to get some fresh air and I took my camera along.  Charlie has discovered the beautiful leaves that are 'raining' around our house....he, of course loved playing with them and as always....tried to eat them! :)

Finding the leaf.....

Checking the leaf out......

Finally, trying to eat the leaf!!!!!

"Seriously, do you HAVE to keep taking my picture?!"

8 Nights & Counting..........

  Well, I told you last week that we started putting Charlie in his very own bed to sleep.  Well, it has been 8 nights and we're still going strong!! That's awesome, right?!?!  Well, maybe for Charlie but, Troy and I really miss him being in the bed with us.  But, we know it's for the best as it will be easier to do it now than when he's 6 years old! :)  Charlie has been doing rather well with it.  There are some nights that he may fuss because he's lost his pie-pie and there have been a few nights that he's slept right through the night- one morning he didn't wake up until 9:00 AM!!!!!!!!!!  and I do have to admit, it is nice to get some 'restful' sleep.
  Here are a few pictures before going to bed one night.....

Charlie in his bed!

I think he may have been wanting me to stop taking pictures! :)

Also, Charlie seems to be taking after his Daddy exercising.... there is a move on P90X called the 'Superman' and Charlie has started doing it himself.  You pull your arms & legs up while lying on your stomach so, I snapped a few pics to share!

 
I guess he's starting out early............  :)

My Poor Baby

  My poor baby.....and by baby I mean my first child, Kode.  Well, yesterday Kode went for his monthly haircut.  It's always an exciting day because Kode comes back really white, trimmed and looking good! (BTW, we do bathe him throughout the month)  Well, when he came home yesterday- he was excited to see me like normal and I petted him as I couldn't really take a good look at him because I was feeding Charlie.

  When I did look at him, I noticed his ears were gone.  I don't mean they cut his ears off but, we've always had the hair on Kode's ears long and they cut it OFF!!!  And now, he looks like a girl! :(  Of course, I didn't tell him that...I didn't want hurt his feelings!  but, they did at least give him a 'skull' bandana, probably to boost his ego (or maybe mine)!  I just DON'T like his ears short.....it's SOO much cuter to have them long but, I know they'll grow back and he's still my sweet, loving, wants to go outside all time baby.

  The above picture is the way Kode normally looks and below are the way he looks now (sporting his new bandana)!  You can't really see the dramatic difference in the pictures but, I PROMISE you- there is! :)
