At Work but gunna keep on blogging!

For the next month they shall short but frequent. Posts I mean. I will give you a brief update now of what Charlie has been up to, but not to long because once again...at work. :)

So story for this time, I was picking Charlie up after a day of work. He was happy to see me like he is everytime and he gets into this snuggle mode. As I put him into the car He said Plain as day " I wanna nurse". he didn't whine just said matter of factly. He said it all the way home and didn't complain when we didn't. We haven't nursed since he turned two. It was just amazing the connection that we made during our nursing relationship that even when we haven't for months and since he's started communicating more with words, he expressed his desire to. It makes me really sad we stopped. Really impressed that he said it so clearly and definitely knew what he was talking about and also happy that he loves me and we have such a good time growing together!

That's it. Been watching costumers while typing so sorry if it's fragmented a lot and misspellings!

love till next post,

bald!

a while back Charlie and I went to a children's museum for the first time! I'm sorry I haven't been posting but a lot has been happening! but I wanted to get these pictures out so you can see how my beautiful baby has grown into a very handsome young boy!

So intelligent and ready to learn too!

p.s. this was back right after I shaved his head (now he has a mohawk)

Hello world it's me, Sandra!

SO I almost let this whole blog thing fall on the wayside once more! But a las one meesly comment reminded me about the blog world and my role in it. And now I must tell stories of my life in a manner that is not only amusing but full of pizaaz! I was a Numismatist for a while and even though I still wish it were so the wheel turns and I keep a'movin! After being unemployed for a wee little bit, I am now a manager once more for the Halloween Express. Here I am at the front right as I type this! Since I'm at work I have no fun Charlie or me pictures to share with you at the moment but will once more venture on in the blog life and never again forget what it means to me to have this outlet of which to share. More importantly never again will I forget what it means to all of you!

Love till next post,

Long time no blog eh?! Sorry bout that folks but life has been a little crazy for me and the munchkin! I love you all and wanted to share these very recent photos....He's such a little model, here are his recent picture poses...


Seriously modeling or what we like to call "the look" nuff said....
I know the flash is bad but this is what we call the "candid"....


And last but not least one where you see right after we cut his hair in February and this pose is "the in motion".....
I continually will try to look for time to blog for you all have missed so much and it's ALL MY FAULT!!! :(

love till next post (coming soon),

Burn baby Burn!!

Because some things have been going on, including the breakdown and recovery of my cadillac, we have been staying with my mom the past week! It has been fun for us to get to spend more time then ever with grandma although we are happy to finally be going home today! One of the things Charlie was introduced to and pretty much fell in love with while we've been staying here is mom's exercise video. Not only does it mesmerize him and stop whatever he was doing prior to the start (as seen in first photo) but as you will observe in the next set of photos he's pretty into adapting the exercised to more accomodate the baby body type as to optimize his baby fat burning! lol (It's cute but sad to know he's doing what he can to get rid of that adorable baby fat!)


like I said stopped in his tracks...

Here is his stretching position from here he can go into either of the two main baby exercising positions!



I would interpret this position as exercising his neck, upper back and upper arm muscles (you'll have to ask him to make sure that is what this exercise move is about)

we'd like to title this one "the ostrich pose"...I have yet to think about what muscles this position stretches and works because this move is so darn cute I get destracted!!



As you can see he is going to be a beefy workout god someday!! lol
I leave you now to take in the cuteness of what will become known worldwide as "burn baby burn" videos
with this a non-workout picture of Charlie being cute again in our apartment this time!

p.s. if you are looking for christmas wishlists they are in the two posts prior to this one!

Mama wishlist....

I told you I was going to create a wishlist of my own, and there are actually quite a few things I want. Most though, I can do without.

With my car in the shop and rent to be paid (while jobless, mind you) MONEY is the greatest gift this season. A giftcard to some clothing store, walmart, or target would suit me fine too. Another thing that may seem like a gift to Charlie but would be a GREAT gift to me would be a toddler mattress..I am pretty sure we have a frame coming our way for free...but as you might guess without the mattress it's nothing but an over rated playpin!

I got a whole bunch of cd's stolen 2 years ago so if you are into frivolous giving this season one of those would be nice...... the list includes the following;
evanescence..self titled
tenacious d..self titled
three day's grace..self titled
godsmack..self titled
linkin park..hybrid theory
guster...keep it together
korn...vol.1

and Of course movies are always fun and these are my top picks right now...

space chimps
kung fu panda
across the universe
space jam ( I miss this movie!)
legally blonde
office space (one of the greatest, and even though I might be gifting this one to someone I could mooch it from every once in a while, having my own copy would be fantabulous!)

if your into baking, my favorites are chocolate chip cookies and brownies! (white chocolate anything rocks my socks though!)

speaking of socks, if your on a budget socks are always appreciated (unless they are boring and plain!)

I have a whole bunch of pictures that I have been meaning to get black frames for so if you wanted to get me fun frames I need 5x7 (let me get back to you I think that's what they are ) and one 8x10

I hope that gives you an idea!

And now comes..... another wishlist...

It is that time of year again, when everyone starts asking what Charlie and I are hoping to get this Christmas. Every time I think money and love! That is what we NEED.. .but... here are a few things that we would be happy to have....

FOR CHARLIE....

Melissa and Doug Wooden Toys...(We like a whole bunch but to give you an idea..our favorites...)
1. A fun music set
2. A pretend mail set
3. Play food (I love the cutting food ones but all of them are neat)
We like a whole bunch on there but there is an idea.

Books....
1. Sandra boynton books we LOVE this author so of course, we have some
already. so avoid getting... Snuggle puppy, moo baa lalala,
the bedtime book, the belly button book, blue hat green hat,
and hippo's go berserk.
2. we would especially like But not the hippopotamus, But we love all of them
most of them are at Barnes and Noble

"Helping" toys....

1. Play vacuum (not this specific one, just an example)
2. Cleaning set ( I really like this one but again, just examples)
3. Metal pots and pans play set ( I can't find a link for this one)

Anyway, That should give you all plenty of ideas!
Will make my list later, Charlie and I are tired and need to go home!

Love till next post,
Sandra
