Happy 4th of July

Love, Charlie

Charlie, the River Dancer?

Here is Charlie in his new Jumperoo!! He loves jumping in it, and chewing on it?! His legs are still a little too short so we had to put books under his feet so he could touch.

Napa

Last week Justin and I left Charlie for the first time and went to Sonoma and Napa in northern California for a few nights. We flew into San Fransisco and rented a car. We were so excited about our Jeep Wrangler.Some pics crossing the Golden Gate Bridge leaving the city.It was SOOO hot the first day! I think it was almost 105 degrees. We drove by Sonoma lake and ended up changing into our bathing suits in the car and jumped in because we couldn't resist cooling off.We did not take a lot of pics on the trip unfortunately, but we had such a good time tasting delicious wines and eating at lots of fabulous restaurants. Hands down the best meal I have had in a very long time was as Scopa in Sonoma. This was the steak we shared there, I am drooling just thinking about it.

Laguna Beach

The weather has been so beautiful here. Justin and I are taking advantage of having the grandparents to babysit Charlie, and snuck away for a nice lunch and some drinks down in Laguna Beach. The restaurant over looked the water, and we enjoyed fish tacos and oysters in the sun. Perfect date day.

Pool Party

My two best friends here in California organized a "Welcome to America" party for Charlie. They rang our doorbell decorated in red, white and blue. They are hysterical. My whole family was there, as well as our cousins and aunt Sally. We took Charlie in the pool for the second time. He was so relaxed and loved floating with all of us.

Charlie is the HAPPIEST baby. Love every piece of him.

Uncle Brother

Just fyi, I refer to my sister and brother as auntie sissy and uncle brother.

Here is uncle brother loving Charlie. He seems SO small in Scott's arms.
