Happy Birthday Little Man!

2 years ago today

(actually this may have been day 2 or 3, but day one was too scary for pics!)

1 year ago today

And Mr. 2 year old today!

How our life has changed in two years...of course for the good.  Can't imagine our life with out this little fellow!!  He woke us up before 6 this morning (his favorite pasttime).  I got dressed and went on teh search for donuts.  Apparantly there is no donut shop in Olive Branch, MS so I ended up at BP where they had a case of Krispy Cream (no chocolate :( ) He ate a couple of donut holes and really doesn't seem to know it's his birthday!  I am going to take him to the park to play and have pizza and cupcakes after while!  I hope he really enjoys his day.  I will do my best to make it all about him (how is that different than any other day, right??)

His birthday party was last weekend and I was a fun time!  I think he enjoyed it and we all enjoyed all of our company.  We had Nanna, PawPaw, Gran, Pops, Maw Maw and PaPaw Green, Aunt Kimmie, Uncle Jeff, Matt, Aunt Tracy, Aunt Julie, Aunt Lisa, and Jill all come in town for the party!  Charlie was thrilled to have everyone he loves in one place!  We missed the Aunt Donna, Uncle Lane, Riley, Hailey, Uncle Rhett, and Uncle Forrest though!  Hopefully we wll see them all very soon!  The party was at my friend HOllie's house and we had a hayride, bouncer, pinata and all the kids had fun running around and playing! Of course he got a ton of stuff too!

What a week!

I picked Charlie up from his Baton Rouge visit in Jackson on Sunday, we met Gran and Pops.  They were waiting for us at a neat little mall letting Charlie play in the water sprayer.  He was having a ball...I noticed he was a little bit fussy, but figured he was just worn out from too much fun.  Well, Sunday night just before bed, he sarted running fever :( It got up to about 102.5 and gave us a restless night.  Monday he was cranky, but not too warm so I didn't worry about bringing him right to the dr.  Well, Monday night the fever was back.  His poor little body was burning up and he was getting sick to his stomach.  After some motrin and some snuggling with mommy he was able to fall back asleep, but was up by 5AM...YIKES.  Well, I brought him to the dr, and they said it was probably a virus, that much I figured.  He has been doing much better since Monday night, just extra cranky and that combined with still waking up before 5 is making for a tough week for him and I.  Chess had to go up north for the week and Charlie's best bud (and her mommy) are out of town for the week too.  They are pretty much the only people we hang out with on a regular basis so it's been a tough week!  We will survive though.  We met up with the moms group at the zoo today.  It got up in the 90's which is it hasn't done here in a couple of weeks.  We enjoyed it for a while, but Charlie ended up falling asleep and I was hot and worn out so we headed home!  The tiger was his favorite...he thought it was Mike!

Tomorrow we are meeting them at Incredible Pizza and I'm gonna run to the party store to finish up getting stuff for Charlie's 2nd birthday party!! I cannot belive he is going to be two years old...time flies!

Here he is just about a year ago...what a difference a year makes!!

Just a funny little sidenote...yesterday at the store Charlie just had to have some spiderman popcicles when I tossed them in the buggie I decided to pick up some fudge pops for me and Aiden :)  Well, guess what Charlie likes...

and...as promised, the pics of Aiden from last Friday's ultrasound...notice in the 2nd one he is chillin with his legs crossed!!  He must be cozy!

Here, There and EVERYWHERE

That's how we feel lately!  We've been running around and staying busy doing this and that.  Thursday I met my mom in Jackson and she took Charlie for a couple of nights.  Ms. Kendra has him now for the weekend and I will meet her on Sunday in Jackson to pick the little booger up.  I signed up for a booth at a flea market and Charlie has been asking for everyone so I figured it was the perfect weekend! We sure do miss him though, the house is a little too quiet for our liking!

I went back to the dr today and everything is good with me and baby Aiden.  His heartrate was still in teh 150s and that is great.  They did an ultrasound and check everything from his brain, to his heart, to his kidneys, they even checked his nose and lip!!!  Everything looked great.  He is weighing about a pound and measuring right on target!!  We are planning to do a csection around Jan 17th (39 weeks) and it will be put on teh books about 3 weeks out, so maybe a little after Christmas!  We are excited, I've been starting to feel him move around a lot and it is such an amazing feeling!!!  I have some more pics, but I will upload them later on.  I'm sleepy tonight and can't get my scanner to work (HAHA).  I really have been so much more worn out with this pregancy than I remember with Charlie, I'm not sure why.  I haven't been sleeping great, we went out tonight and bought a body pillow for me to cuddle so hopefully that helps LOL.

I was at Gymboree today for a pretty good sale they were having and I could resisit.  I had to get these outfits for Charlie and Aiden....

I'm hoping they can wear them home from the hospital and maybe even get some pics taken ;)

Well, Charlie and daddy watched thier first LSU football game of the season last weekend.  I think Charlie really enjoyed it, he has been loving all of the LSU fight songs and anything to do with football for a while, so watching the game was fun for him.  Of course, he conked out at halftime, but he tried his best HAHA. His dad is so proud that he is loving football and LSU in particular!  Here is a pic of the two watching the game

Is that cute or what???

Keeping Busy!

Its the same old same old around here.  Keeping busy as usual!!  Charlie's new obsession is LSU Football and his daddy is sooooo very proud!  He likes to listen to the fight song over and over, have me sing the fight song all day long, he watches his baby tiger dvd and even wants me to pull up the band and mike the tiger on youtube for him to watch LOL.  Hopefully he will enjoy sitting and watching an LSU football with daddy just as much so I can have a few hours of quite time, but I doubt it!

Charlie is really growing and turning into a talkative little booger!! He says new things everyday, sentences almost.  Some things are pretty hard to understand,but some things are clear as day!  He woke me up this morning and told me he poo pooed in the bed LOL...actually it was just a wet diaper that leaked, but it's amazing to have him start telling me things. He helped daddy wash the car this weekend.  He had fun, he loves helping us out with everything.  It went good until Charlie started dipping his scrub brush in teh dirt and rubbing it on the car rather than the soap bucket HAHA

I've been sewing up a storm the past couple of days.  My friend and I signed up for a booth at a little flea market in town.  It was cheap to sign up and we figured it was a few days out of the house and we could try to sell some stuff!  Charlie is going to Baton Rouge to visit a few days so I won't have to worry about him.  I know I'm gonna have to find a babysitter around here, but it's a hard thing to do!! You just never know with people these days!

well, that's all i have for now, I will update more after the flea market!
