Charlie is a busy boy!!!

We have been very busy in the past few months. We took Charlie to his first wedding, Martins cousin Simon got married in Birmingam. We had a wonderful weekend away. I have have official gone back to work. It was a bit out of the blue, it was a really good job opportunity I really could not pass by. I have become the manager of a small nursery school in Ashford about 20 mins away from home. My good friend Rachel is watching Charlie during the day, its the best situation I could have ever ask for. She is wonderful with him and they have some much fun playing together everyday. We have gone to the zoo, Charlie really loved watching the lion. Martin had his birthday and we had his cousins from Denmark over for some pizza and cake. Charlie is really just doing wonderful! He is crawling full force now. I know he will be walking by his first birtday. He can pull himself up on to anything now. So here are some of my favorite pictures from the past few months. I promise to update it more then I have been.

Go San Diego Super Chargers!!!! We this year will be their year!

Moms visit!

My mom came to visit!! We had a wonderful time we did lots of fun things. We went to Leeds castle, to a farm, we went swimming and we went to one of Martins football games. We laughed so much just watching Charlie grow and play. He is crawling but he only goes backwards. He has learned how to do so many things, he is really becoming my little boy. This week Charlie was getting 2 new teeth, he a top and another bottom one all the same time. Thankfully he was not too much of a mess.





My mom and Charlie happy happy at Starbucks!!!


Martin played a good game but sadly his team lost. The worst part was one of his teammates broke his leg in 2 places. I think his football career is over.

Martin and the guys waiting for the next play.

Charlie and the pig! He would have sat there all day if we let him. Mom and I, sitting taking a break after walking all around the farm.

Martin, Charlie and mom in the pool swimming. We all had so much fun playing in the pool!!!

We went to Leeds Castle and they were having a jousting tournament. It was really fun to watch. Charlie got a bit scared at times because it was so loud. My mom and I did the maize and we got a bit lost, but we did make it to the middle!! I think there was a point when my mom thought we would never get out.

Charlie enjoying the jousting!!!!

We had a really nice picnic there waiting for the jousting to start. Charlie had his favorite ham and cheese sandwich.

Charlie is just too tired to play!!

We went to lunch with Martins parents by the marina. It was really fun, we enjoyed some good music and we all had some really good food.

A day at the beach!

We went the beach today!! It was so much fun,Charlie loved touching and playing in the sand. We went with our friends Rachel and Callum. The boys love to play together and they have so much fun together. Charlie is really sitting up really good but he did tip over once on the sand, and he thought it was funny. Charlie is happy happy happy!!!

Charlie at the Garden

Charlie and I went to this beautiful garden by our house. All of the flowers are in bloom and are beautiful. Charlie is sitting up really good and his little personality is really coming out more and more everyday. We have so much fun everyday!! I am so glad the weather is getting better and it really feels like spring. I just can't wait until summer comes!!!

Charlie is the cutest boy around!!

I have not really update the blog in a bit. Here are a few fun pictures of our Charlie. We stay really busy and have lots of fun!! Charlie is really loving food now. I think his favorite is an apple and pear mix I make for him. Ohh well he really likes banannas as well. In this first picture if you look really close at the bottom of Charlies mouth you can see his first tooth!!! Charlie is eating sweet potato in the first 2 pictures and he decided he wanted to put it all over him! Charlie loves his fingers and his food!!

Martin and Charlie having a cuddle in the Sensory room at the Village. This is where we go for all our classes and moms groups. This past Saturday there was a party there, we had a wonderful time playing in the Sensory room. This room is full of fun lights, different sounds and lots of fun things to touch.Charlie and Callum playing under a fire blanket with lots of lights. I just love the look at Charlies face.Do you see lights or Charlie??

Sweet Potatoe!!

We had started Charlie on solids a bit. Yesterday I gave him pear and he loved it!! Tonight I gave him sweet potatoes. He loves his food! Charlie is a bit of a messy eater though.

Leeds Castle

We went to Leeds Castle with Frank, April, IzzyB, Rachel and Callum. We had a wonderful day we could not have asked for better weather. We packed lunch and had cupcakes for Izzy birthday. We really enjoyed feeding all of the ducks, at the gift shop you can buy cups of duck food. Right as we got there Charlie decided to do the BIGGEST POO ever!! So in the middle of the duck area I changed Charlie. Martin thought we needed to document it. Charlie thought it was really fun getting changed on the grass. This is when I realized it was bad!!! I will spare you from the other wonderful pictures Martin took of the event. We all just had so much fun feeding the ducks. I think we could have stayed at that spot all day. After that big poo Charlie slept for the next hour or so. Izzy with more ducks, geese and swans. I really enjoyed spending time with her. At Leeds Castle there is a HUGE Maize, and let me tell you its really hard. We had a bit of help from someone who worked there. This is us at the top of the maize, Martin waited outside with Charlie. Martin, Charlie and I at the gate to the castle.
The Cheek family in front of the castle.All around the grounds there are tons of beautiful birds all around. Rachel and I after a long day at the Castle. Its a long walk back to the car and we were all so tired. We all had a great day though.
