In the eyes of the gov't, I am now an adult!

My birthday was one week ago and I still haven't posted. Shame on me!

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have been there, through thick and thin, for the last 18yrs. Now in my 19th year I hope to continue growing into the person I will be and continue having you all along for the ride......


Here's to being 18 and feeling 30!!

p.s. The saturday before I turned 18, Charlie turned 9mo. old! time flies when you have a baby!!

Duck head, Drummer Boy...

A post is in the near future, where I tell all of you how much Charlie is growing and what all we are up too.

For now, just pictures.

Here's the duck head part...

he seriously will be a drummer, he's already got the hawk going for him!!


in between sets he likes to chew on the sticks for fun..

more box pictures...Charlie loves to pretend the pampers box is a boxcar and have mama push him around!!

CARROT FACE, HAWK BOY!!

Since I posted Charlie has become an expert at climbing things and standing there, he has yet to walk along furniture or stand without support but I'm cool with that because that means he's a little less mobile then he will be!!!

Other things that Charlie has been doing that I've mentioned is eating. I am in the process of trying to catch the face he makes every time he takes his first bite. I already have lots of pictures of when he gets into mealtime and loves to have a good time with it!!


Exibit A. CARROT FACE...

Exibit B. Carrot face in action..(that's actually remains of a teething biscuit on his face in this pic)

I don't know if you all know but, because Charlie is my son, he has a natural mohawk! We have just recently started to experiment with this so I will soon start posting more visible "cool hawk kid" pics but for now here's the best I could get....


btw, My camera is pretty stupid, first it did that whole blurry thing for a while (thanks to my friend Lyndee, I know how to fix that) and now it's doing that weird 'wrong date at the bottom of the picture' thing. My apologies for that.

Anyway that's all I could scrounge up tonight so sweet dreams everyone!

1,2,3, and we're up!!!

In a couple days Charlie has gotten this standing up thing down....



And for the start from the belly

The reach...


to the knees...

And presto change-o, HE'S UP AND STANDING!!!
He says, "look mommy ONE HAND!"....
CRAZY!!
Just wanted to share these crazy photos that make him look so much older, he turned 8mo. yesterday!

Male Model in the making..

Man! Crazy stuff has been happening here!

Charlie has been able to crawl for a while, but he's done this army crawl thing. Lately though, he's been getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth. Another new thing he's been doing is pulling himself up to his feet ALL BY HIMSELF! He's only done that twice but still CRAZY!

I've also started making my own baby food which Charlie is taking to very well and loves "supper time". I have always debated how to introduce solids but I think I should turn that part of my brain and turn on the part where I do what I want to and think is best for me (and not everyone else and their babies).

Anyway, you all are probably saying, "What the heck does this have to do with your title??!"
Well, it doesn't but these do.....

Happy hand on hip pose..


This is a cover shot..


look at that expression!! INTENSE!!!

Uncle John can be his agent..


If that doesn't work, He can just be a guy in an inner tube playing a plastic guitar!! MUSICIAN, YA!!
