April.... Big change is coming!

 I guess our biggest news is that that Heath got a job with the US Army, singing in the Soldiers Chorus. We will be moving to Maryland, where he is stationed at Fort Meade. We will be there for a minimum of 4 years.

Plymouth Rock..... slightly over rated. 

The cutest pajamas ever, their moms favorite.  
COOKIE MONSTER!!!!

Photo shot with friend Christy Brown. Taken two days before Heath left for basic training. Last images of him with a beard.... it will be missed.

Heath received a phone call Saturday late afternoon saying there was an opening in basic training for that following Tuesday, rather than the late September ( which was what we were planning on). We packed everything up into a storage unit here in Boston, and Heath was gone by 5am Tuesday morning. It was a rough 3 days.

Heath is doing basic training at Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina.

Charlie and I will miss daddy a whole bunch. We will be spending the 10 + weeks that Heath is gone in Chicago with my parents. 

 

Happy 5 Months!

Grabs onto everything
Loves all the solid foods he's tried
Super smiley
Poops WAY to often

Going for Aunt Heathers Izzie

It's always interesting to see what position Charlie will be in after he wakes up.
It's almost always a funny one.
Charlie will ONLY take naps in his swing
(yet sleeps in his crib just fine at night)
We his parents are kinda embarrassed by this and will probably try harder when 6 month rolls around ( or when he exceeds the weight limit:) ). But for now, we are happy he is taking naps.
