Well, Mr. Charming is now 6 months 0ld (okay, he’s 6.5 months old now, but it’s busy season, so I’m late posting this). It’s crazy all the development he’s done lately! So first, the stats – at his 6 month checkup, munchkin was 17 pounds, 26 inches, and had a tooth! Seriously, when the doc […]

Well, it’s late, so this post will be far too short to get it all in, but we successfully took our first LOOONG road trip with Sam. Bryan ran the Denver Rock’n’Roll half marathon on October 17, so we made a trip out of it. We spent a week in Colorado, soaking up the cooler […]

I can’t believe it’s been 2 months already. The time is just flying by, and Sam is growing and changing so much every day. It just amazes me. He’s smiling and cooing a lot, and trying to laugh. He’s generally sleeping 6 hours at night, which is really nice! He has rolled from tummy to […]
