homemade valentines

sneak peek:
getting ready to dip his feet in paint

can you see a heart?

isn't he handsome?

We decided to get started on Charlie's Valentine's Day cards.
I got the idea from my friend Amber who did this project last year with her infant class,
thanks Amber!
Well, it definitely was NOT easy because like I said in my last post this little guy loves his feet... so we had some close encounters with him trying to sneak his toes in his mouth!

Well, here's a sneak peek for now!

new discovery...

FEET
This last week baby Charlie discovered his feet and couldn't be happier!

It's crazy how fast this little one is growing.
Another crazy thing is that one year ago today we found out we were pregnant!!
I remember that day like it was yesterday, one of the happiest day of my lives.
That morning I was feeling sick and I thought I should use the pregnancy test that had been stored in the medicine cabinet. I remember saying a prayer before taking the test and just hoping that this would be the one to finally have a positive sign... and it was!
I immediately woke Charlie up and told him the good news.
One year later we have learned that having a child in our lives
has brought us so much happiness and I will always be grateful for the wonderful blessing of motherhood.

our visit to the library

my lovely sisters joined us.

Charlie's first books checked out from the library

Today we went to the Provo Library to get library cards and check out books.
It was enchanting and such a fun experience with my little one as we browsed
up and down the aisles looking for the perfect stories to read.
This being our first time to the library we didn't know what to expect.
I must say Provo Library didn't disappoint, they had an entire wing dedicated to children's books and Baby Char was in heaven! This little one loves, loves, loves to read books!
My sister Leanna and I decided to make trips every 2 weeks to the library so if any of you with little ones in the area would like to join us let me know!

hey Daddy,

today is your birthday.
"hip hip hooray, it's a holiday!"

sick days

The men in my life are sick.
with the cold.
not as many smiles and coos from this little one and it breaks my heart.

So I decided to make soup and homemade rolls for dinner.

they were delicious and gone in seconds!

please get better soon!

3 months

I can't believe my little Charlie boy is 3 months old!
he grins and smiles at just about everyone.
he weighs 11lbs. and 8.5 oz.
laughs when daddy says, "goooooo and geeeeeee!"
laughs when mommy says boogie boogie boo over and over again!
goes to sleep at 11 pm and wakes up at 7 am... that's right- he sleeps through the glorious night!
and drools like crazy! haha

I love my little one
