We have been preparing for our new arrival this last week.
Charlie watched as his Mom left for her last day of work,



He seemed excited to escort his Mom to the car.


With less than 48 hours to go until the baby arrives I became sick, but am feeling better now. Which is good, because apparently if I stop watching the kid for a single day he ends up in high heels.




His Aunt Alana has been here to help out and maybe to corrupt Charlie with her high heels. We will keep an eye on her.

In all seriousness, say a prayer for us, only 13 hours til baby two!

We took Charlie to this fountain that is designed, I think, to make children screech and scream as much as possible. Anyway, he enjoyed the water and looking at the other kids.



A little in the face...

not to worry


...to our dismay he has extended his compulsion to drink in the baby pool and his bath to the public fountain, giraffe style no less.



"If you had guns like these, you would be going sleeveless too, punk!"

The rule is pretty clear in our house that Mabel's water bowl is not a toy for Charlie. Apparently, it is quite a temptation for him, but he seems to be learning. We hear him walking over to it saying "No, no, no...Mabel."
So, yesterday, we found this scene in the kitchen. Charlie has his own dog on a leash and decided to give him a drink. We thought it was pretty funny and couldn't help but laugh.



Charlie is enjoying his baby pool again this year. He has enjoyed going to various pools and spray parks around the city this summer. We haven't taken many pictures lately, but we will probably make up for that in a couple of weeks with the new baby. Nat has been working hard on getting C's new room ready to make room for the little one. We are very excited.
Here are some pictures of backyard fun...



We found a climber with a slide for Charlie and Nat set it up to slide into the pool. Charlie and Isaiah tried it out and they loved it.

Isaiah takes a turn

Nat with Isaiah and Charlie - these boys are too cute together.
