A HOT HOT Day at the Zoo

except this pic, was taken in the backyard

Leaving one of the worst zoos in the United States! (But it is all we have in Nashville)

It does have a great playground. Addie running out of the snake!

I just want to touch it!

Grandma & Grandpa's Visit

Our new playhouse! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!

Enjoying a snack together on our new picnic table!

Taking a break from mowing with Grandpa!

Putting our new playhouse together.

1st Haircuts!

Addie loved getting her hair blow dried after her 1st hair cut. She keeps asking to go and get her haircut again.

At this point she was just taking it all in.

It was tickling his neck when she trimmed it in the back.

Just getting ready to start the 1st haircut!

Just hanging out with Grandpa on the couch!

Charlie's 1st Birthday!

It is all about the cake! The cake (ordered from Whole Foods) tasted delicious but definitely wasn't decorated the way I wanted. I should have given them a lot more direction.

The happy Birthday Boy!

Addie & Vivian at the zoo. Aren't they adorable?

Helping Mommy & Grammy decorate the morning of his b-day! (Yes, he is sitting on the table!)

Playing Outside With Our New Outdoor Sink!

Gently touching the pretty flower.

Love those colors - SPRING!

Charlie Takes First Steps

No pictures yet but...Charlie took his first steps on Sunday, April 5th! He took 4 steps then another few sets of 2-3 steps. Since then we've mastered only holding one of mommy's hands to get around. He has take a couple of one-steppers but nothing serious. Although he has been at day-care since then so he probably would have made much more progress if he had been home with Mommy.

Hopefully this weekend we do some more walking at his ripe old 10 1/2 months of age! Stay tuned...
