Beach Trips

I feel like I'm behind in posting on here, so I'm playing catch up here.

We went to the beach a couple of times this past month. The first time was when we decided to run away on a Wednesday afternoon after James was done with school. The second time we went a little over a week ago when Tracy's dad was in town.

From our first trip:

Family photos with our new car at the beach. ;)

James was pointing to a seagull.

Beautiful ocean.

I can't remember what James was pointing at,
maybe the same seagull as the previous picture.

We hadn't been to this particular beach spot before. It was awesome.

Beach trip with Tracy's dad. We also brought Tracy's step grandma along.

Charles was really into the sand. Looks like we have a beach baby. Sorry, but not sorry for the numerous pictures of him. 

Photo Dump from this Past Month

Not really in any particular order. Just a few pictures of our fun from the past month.

 Sweet baby cuddles

Cereal for dinner!
He loves cereal and was way excited when I let him have some for dinner.

Sleeping with his car

More baby cuddles

Eowyn almost always sleeps in funny positions.

Walking to school. He has started walking more than riding. Yay!

Stopped to make Charles laugh.

Visiting the train museum.

James' alphabet wall.
His class went through the whole alphabet and each day he made me hang the picture up.

Helping me go through the ads. Just about everything is better than toys.

James goes on lots of bike rides. Getting pretty good at it too.
And the red car is just like the car Tracy owned we I met him.

Playing in the kitchen with flour

Not from this past month, but from the summer. Tracy in his element:

6 months old

And just like that half a year is gone! Charles turned 6 months on Sept. 15th. I'm a little slow at posting. Two kids take up a lot of time and energy.

Charles is now 26 1/2 inches and weighs 16 lb 11.5 oz. 

Wearing size 2 diapers and is 3-6 months clothes still but they are getting snug. Probably time to get out the next size of clothes.

Charles is becoming more mobile and rolls all over the place. He even enjoys getting into anything possible, especially the cats food/water dishes. Got to watch this guy. He's trouble.

He sleeps great. Goes to bed around 9:30 and sleeps till about 8. Some times wakes up around 6 or 7 and then goes back to sleep for an hour or two. He takes 2-3 hours a day between 30-60 mins. 

 

He is babbling more and more. Favorite sound is mamamama. Maybe an indication of what his favorite word will be.

On September 14th Charles took yet another hearing test. This time he completed it and passed with flying colors.

 I love that he is very expressive. His many faces are the best!
