I’ll soon be back in Nanny’s pool so I started swimming lessons today! I had a TON of fun, I wasn’t scared of the water at all! I even remembered “Freddy the Fish” from Nanny’s house. After my lesson was over we stayed for another hour! I’m a regular Michael Phelps!

We visited Winchester this weekend. We got to see Poppy, Grandma, GG, Great Daddy, Beth, Mal, and Pap. I had a great time, and especially loved skipping my nap/quiet time!

Poppy and Grandma gave me a new engine (just want I needed right?!) and when I opened it I gave everyone a great laugh. I tore open the paper and said “Charlie, here Poppy, you be Charlie because that’s your name!” Now, how the heck I knew that is quite a mystery to everyone, I’ll never tell my secrets! 🙂

I had fun walking around lots at Mal and Pap’s house and investigating all the stop signs and big houses!

Can’t wait to see everyone again at Easter! 🙂

I’ve been pretty interested in looking at our calendar on the refrigerator so mom has hung up a classroom calendar in our dining room! I’m in heaven!

I love changing the days each morning and checking the weather. I’ve gotten really good at it! I loved telling people the year and was so excited when February changed to March! It has helped me to learn to keep track of holidays and birthdays and learn my days of the week!

Time sure does fly when you are having this much fun! 🙂

Last week I went to Dr. Arone to check on my head. He is SUPER proud of my progress. I was going every 8 weeks, he bumped it to every 12 weeks!

After our appointment we visited the Schiele Natural History Museum in North Carolina. I had a great time looking a bugs, fossils, and even some real live animals, I especially loved making my pigs noise at the pigs! Mom and Dad thought it was hilarious when I called the grizzly bear a teddy bear. Tomato, tomato right?

Yay! Wrestling is over and to celebrate we got 8 inches of snow! So much that Dad even got to stay home with us!

We had a great time walking in the snow, sled riding, and building a HUGE snowman! My favorite thing was walking around our driveway, I called it a river b/c almost all the snow as melted! As of writing this entry it is 51 degrees!! I guess we’ll be going to school tomorrow.

For about a year one of my favorite things to do it JUMP, anywhere, everywhere. Bed, off the slide, you name it. But, mom being mom only lets me jump where it is “safe”, so here is a bunch of pictures of me jumping on the chair. The funny thing is I told mom to “please take some pictures of me jumping on the couch for nanny to see on the website” not that I’m vain or anything…

It has been a while since we lasted posted. Mom doesn’t have a lot of time since dad is busy with wrestling.

We FINALLY got a little bit of snow, I had a grand time playing in it! Mommy’s friend Julia came to see me! I went to a couple of daddy’s wrestling matches, and spent many evenings and Saturdays making crafts w/ mom.

I’m a HUGE fan of the zoo, so, we went again, this time with Jesse and Pap!

We were lucky enough to go to Nanny’s for Christmas this year! I was pretty concerned about Santa finding us, so we wrote many letters to him, and guess what, he did find us!

I was such a trooper during the 11 hr trip, Mom knows she has the best kid in the world! We left at 3:30 am both times and I only slept 2 hrs on the way down and 2.5 on the way back!

Nanny’s city offically has the best Christmas lights ever! We rode around lots of neighborhoods, we saw miles and miles of lights. One street even had dozens of overhangs “bridges” I called them, (PVC piping bent in a semi-cirlce over the road), so enchanting! I kept screaming “Oh, look at those Christmas lights!” I also sang all of Ruldoph and Jingle Bells, I learned those songs FAST!

I had such a wonderful time with my Nanny and the rest of the family. We played games, spent time outside, and just being together. I enjoyed lots of Nanny’s yummy cooking, her “skabetti” is still my favorite!

Speaking of favorites, Uncle Jesse is becoming one of my favs too! We spent lots of time together reading, walking, and playing Candyland (can you believe Mom got tired of this game?!?!?!)! He’s a pretty cool guy!

Christmas was incredible! I got just what I asked for from Santa: Spencer, books, and paper towels! I was quite excited about the paper towels! I think everyone’s favorite reaction was to the clothes I got, I throw the clothes and yelled “HANGERS!”

Grandpa sure loves me too, he gave me a lot of grown-up trains that he wants me to have when I get older. We were all pretty touched by his gesture.

I sure am a lucky guy, I have a pretty fantastic family who loves me more than I’ll ever know!
