Charlie's Birthday Weekend!

We began Charlie's birthday weekend bright and early Thursday morning. We did presents early morning before Daddy left for work.


Daddy bright and early with his birthday boy!



Presents from Mommy and Daddy


Charlie and his newest obsession...his bicycle!

(this is actually a y bike or balance bike...maybe he wont need a trike!)

When daddy returned from morning meeting we headed out to Imagine It! The Atlanta Children's Museum.


Charlie had a blast! What a wonderful place for toddlers to explore!

Trying out the farm equipment


Riding the tractor


Fishing for magnetic fishes


A little practice on the putting green


Future football star!


His true love....BASEBALL!


Playing on the sand table (so cool! the sand was moldable)


Checking out the giant erector set!


That evening we headed over to Mellow Mushroom for a birthday dinner! Namaw met us there for the celebration.


A balloon lady just happened to be at the restaurant...Charlie cleaned up with a dinosaur hat, a T-Rex, 3 swords and a holster!


modeling his holster


After dinner we headed to Target where Namaw spoiled her 2 year old grandson. We bought Charlie a Spiderman helmet for bike riding...he insists on wearing it the majority of each day! At least he is safe.


Sword fighting before bed


When we got home it was time for cake! This was a lovely yellow cake with a sour cream based chocolate icing! yummy!


blowing out the candles


Chocolate face...and tired eyes!


time to wash off the frosting!


Late night snuggles with the grumpy 2 year old! ha!


Mommy's turn!

On Friday evening my dad, Papaw, along with Uncle Dylan and Uncle Zeb, arrived in ATL. We headed to Taco Mac, Dylan's fave, and had a mess of wings!


On Saturday we had a birthday cookout at the house and then headed to the Braves vs. Diamond Backs game at the Tedd!


Daddy and Charlie talking baseball :)

What a great game! the braves dominated with an 8-1 win! There were 3 home runs and even a field streaker! Charlie had a blast...is it normal that my 2 year old will watch a whole baseball game?!? My endless supply of chocolate, juice and snacks may help a little ;)


We went to the pediatrician this morning for Charlie's 2 year check up. Here are the stats:


Height: 33 3/4 inches long - 25% (maybe he won't be tall like daddy)

Weight: 28.8 lbs - 73%

Head Circumference: 51cm - 98% (still hoping that means he is smart!)

Dr. M was very impressed with his vocabulary and ability to string sentences together. She says we have a very healthy boy...despite the fact that he sees 2 specialists already (neuro and ortho).


Charlie starts pre-school tomorrow! 2 days a week at the Wee School! Pray for no tears!



Love to you all!
