Free to a Good home: 2 yr old boy



The last 3 months have been jam packed full of summer fun and goodness. We were fortunate enough to have a nanny through the summer to allow Charlie to have a super fun summer. I especially enjoyed my afternoons with him. From parks, the museum, the zoo, Czech Fest, grandma and grandpa's house, cousins, swimming, sprinklers, pop sickles, ice-cream trucks, puppy's, iPod and iPad, new toys and bikes this summer has been a blast!! We went from a shy little boy to a wild and crazy animal! Charlie doesn't stop from the time he gets up to the time he goes to bed. He is sassy and loud. He bites, he hits, and he pinches. He is allllll BOY! But he is also very kind, sweet, giving, and loves with all he has. He is persistent, determined, and strong willed. He makes me laugh when I tell him no, no matter how much I actually mean no!! There are so many moments when I want to give him away to a free home but just when I think it, he comes and kisses my cheek, says hi Mom, and gives me a hug. His personality is coming out exponentially and although it is exhausting, I simply love being his mom! These are certainly going to be the days that I miss as he grows up.

Happy 2nd Birthday, hi-yay!

The day has arrived and my tiny, six pound baby boy has grown quickly into his toddler years! The time has been swift, yet filled with the most amazing memories and it simply breaks my heart that I cannot remember them all. Last week I asked Charlie what he wanted for his birthday and his response was, "H." It was the sweetest most innocent thing ever! So now I am frantically trying to figure out how I am going to get him a stuffed H for his party:)
Charlie has began talking so mucho since his move to the two's room a couple months ago. His favorite color is purple, and his favorite letters (other than H) are A, E, and I, naturally, because we spell his name daily on rides in the car. He is obsessed with Trucks and Dogs... What two year old boy isn't, right? He is such a sweet boy. He says "hi" or "hello" to ever person, creature, or unusual object he sees. He loves nature and being outside. In fact just a few days ago he threw his first real life, full on, tantrum because we left the park. It lasted about 20 minutes and was the funniest thing to watch. I reassured Charlie that it was ok to feel sad, and hugged him until he was over it. He is going to be very persistent as he grows up (just like his dad).
The past two years have been crazy, wild, and fun! I am so blessed to have such a good boy. He sleeps well, plays hard, and listens (most of the time). He is beyond spoiled and I wouldn't have it any other way! He may be small for now (21lbs) but there is no doubt in my mind that Charlie is going to make a big impression on this world. I just know it! After all, he has a momma that loves more than anyone could ever imagine and a daddy with a work ethic that even makes mommy tired. In between, is a lot of years to play and have fun! Happy birthday to my sweet baby who wore a tux to school on his 2nd birthday because there wasn't any reason not to; happy birthday Charlie!
