Charlie at 18 months



I don't know when this was taken, somewhere aroud 18 months old. Love the expression.

I love the back of his head. It's so cute.

He's holding my lens cap.

Playing on the playground.



Happy Shoes. He loves shoes. Especially his new rain boots.

Charlie turned 18 monnths old the day before Jonah turned 4. He is still a happy toddler. He definitely makes his wants known and might bite out of frustration. :) That is happening less and less though. He's starting to say more and more words everyday. He got some good news at the audiologist: She did a 'pressure test' on his ear (not painful at all) and got some movement from the ear drum. That means that his ear canal has opened up some. Which means that he can possibly hear a little better out of that ear. We will find out more once we can get a comprehensive test, hopefully at his next appointment. It's a little hard at this age!

Jonah's Birthday Part 2

Super Jonah and Super Cooper

The request was made at least a month or two before the party that it be a 'Super-Hero Dinosaur Party'  I think I delivered. I made capes and dinosaur masks and dinosaur hats and superhero arm cuffs.. There was a 'super hero training center' in my hallway, that kinda fell apart. Balloons hanging and yarn crisscrossing like lasers, then a punch bopper at the end with those giant blow up bopper hands for them to put on. A good idea in theory, but I needed more....tape.or glue.  maybe thumbtacks?  I don't know. They still thought it was fun. Here's the cake: I am going to add that this is the COOLEST cake I've ever made.

The Birthday boy was quite satisfied with the cake. and the party.

 Here's my 4 year old: On the day he turned 4. He's so handsome.

and TOUGH!!!!:

Jonah's Birthday Part 1

On Jonah's actual birthday we took him to the REC center. We went swimming (his favorite thing) then played on the climbing wall. He also got a new little car thing. One of those ones that moves when you turn the handles. Very cool. He loved it. We played with that a little in town before we went to Uncle Jason's birthday party. He and Jonah share a birthday. More pictures to come.
