Charlie Joel - 10 Months Old

two bottom teeth showing...

looking very intently at something...

By far, this is the funniest photo I've taken of Charlie.  He saw an airplane in the sky and out of nowhere started talking/yelling lots of gibberish to the plane....very passionately!

his big brown eyes...beautiful

Kiss Me....

I'M IRISH! 

Believe it or not, these two do have some Irish in them. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Spring is here???

A week of spring weather in Minnesota already????  We have had sunny days with temperature in the upper 60s-mid 70s this week.   What more can a mom ask for??  To get the kids outside enjoying the sunshine has been great!

I'm not sure what the kids were looking at, but I love the different reactions the two had...

Enjoying the warm weather

our bubble girl

Addie's trike...a birthday gift from Grandpa Lowell when Adeline turned 2.  Her legs are long enough to pedal it now!!

Look at those legs go!

Swimming Continues

Today was Addie's last class of winter swim session.  Here are some highlights:

Charlie just taking it all in

Addie loves to swim on her back...the tummy, not so much yet...

Playing Together

It's so entertaining to watch Addie & Charlie interact now.  While Addie would like Charlie to do more with her like walk, talk, and respond to all of her questions, he does smile and laugh at her.  We keep telling her that time will come when Charlie will be able to do all of those things and they can truly play together.  

Addie may be tormenting Charlie here....I guess he doesn't mind.

Addie has loved singing since she was very young...I love when I play the piano, she sits by me and sings...look at her, she is doing some SERIOUS singing!

Addie "getting down" to Charlie's level...

Adeline started some ice skating lessons recently with her friend Riley.  Not having seen ice skates nor a skating rink ever in her life, she was quite nervous and tentative...a few tears were shed.  But she was brave and made it through her first class.

Our little figure skaters all worn out

Going for a walk on a VERY mild day...

Addie learning to ride her scooter that she got for Christmas...

Loving pulling her little brother, and Charlie loved the ride
