Walking With Dinosaurs

The Walking With Dinosaurs show was a big hit -- not only was Charlie not scared, he insisted on moving closer, and is already asking to see it again!
Here are some pics Mike was able to take with his cell phone:

Amelia & Tadhg

Amelia's boyfriend Tadhg came over for lunch; he is ten weeks younger than Amelia. Here are some pics. I was having fun posing them but Tadhg's mommy stopped me short of letting Tadhg ride on Amelia's back...

Amelia's Sitting Unsupported!

Amelia started sitting unsupported this week, albeit extremely precariously. Here she is showing off her new talent, moments before toppling over:

Happy Anniversary To Us!

Festivities for our 7th wedding anniversary included me getting my toe lasered this afternoon. We had been planning to go out to dinner yesterday but since I fired my mother's helper/babysitter a couple weeks back that didn't happen. On the up side, Mike is on his way home with thai food, atleast.

In other news Mike and Charlie are going to see this Saturday night in Providence, tipped off by Grampy Robinson who saw the show was touring again. Thank you Grampy Robinson! Hopefully Charlie will not run screaming from his seat when the dinosaurs come on... Amelia and I will just have a girls night in, as the show is past Charlie's bedtime, much less Amelia's, and the idea of subjecting her to roaring dinosaurs past her bedtime is just, well, not good.

We also finally signed Charlie up for swimming lessons at the Weymouth club, which start the second saturday in July, and the goal of which is to have Charlie swimming unassisted by the end of the eight week session. Yay!

Charlie Picked Out His Own Clothes This Morning

The picture doesn't do it justice. He is wearing a blue and brown shirt & lime green shorts, with crocs & socks pulled up as high as he could get them.

Charlotte

We had a great trip to Charlotte, visiting Aunt Mandy, Uncle Joel, Cousing Ben and Cousin Becca! The highlights included Amelia's first airplane ride (a rousing success), going to the pool and the splash park, barbecuing, going to Monkey Joes, going fishing at the lake (Ben did catch a tadpole if you wnt to get technical) and generally just being together! Here are a bunch of pics:

Gone Fishin'

We spent a rather exciting day at the lake yesterday, the highlights of which included Charlie falling overboard off Grammy & Grampy Robinson's boat, and Charlie catching 2 fish! Here are some pics :)
