Helping with chores
Charlie loves helping with chores around the house. He helps us unload the dishwasher, do laundry and wipe spills.
Here are a few pics of him helping to take out the recycling:

Great weekend!
We had a fun weekend mostly hanging around the house becuase it was freezing cold, coldest weekend yet this winter and it's March!
Friday night we had some fun at Whole Foods walking around and picking out exotic and yummy food to buy. Charlie made friends with the guy behind the counter in the prepared food section who gave him a free sample of the cold tortellini salad. Charlie decided this warranted turning his head away from the guy and looking up at the lights. Once we got away from him, though, Charlie fully enjoyed his tasty snack!
Saturday morning we got up and headed out to the Lakefront Airport to check out the truck show. We just ended up doing a drive by and then heading back to Audubon park for some fun. Charlie pet a dog named Fonzi and enjoyed checking out the trucks working on St. Charles.
In the afternoon we did the weekly Sam's Club run and he ate yogurt bites filled with granola. He was pooped and had a great night's sleep.
Charlie and I have started turning off his light and turning on his pillow peg doggie light when he goes to bed and I think it really calms him down. When I put him in the crib to sleep he rolls right over on his belly and sticks his butt up in the air and goes to sleep. So sweet.

Sunday we got up and went to Bed Bath and Beyond to replace our dish rack and he had fun running around the empty mall. Next was Target where we priced some toddler tables which I know he'd love to have. We'll see if we can get it on sale sometime soon.
Home for lunch and nap. The afternoon was just hanging around the house, flopping on the baby mattress, running around the house and watching Barney. We did a lot of cooking, made a batch of chili, oatmeal, quinoa and I tried this vegan cookie dough fudge which was DELISH.

MS Walk with Mark and friends
This weekend we all walked for MS because our good friend Mark has it and is integral in their fundraising in New Orleans. We were proud to go out and support him!

Friday Funday
This weekend we have some fun activities planned!
We are going to cook some two-ingredient cookies and Charlie will help out with that. I can't wait to see him peel bananas and help stir the batter.
We are also going to the bookstore to get a baby book for little baby girl T so we can have a safe place for her ultrasound. We have a second ultrasound appointment next week and I am hoping to see a good outline of her face.
Sunday our friend Mary is coming to babysit Charlie so Terry and I can go see a movie (Silver Linings Playbook, I think!). We're having the hardest time dragging ourself away from the little bean. We are away all week while at work and love our weekend time with him. However we know that couple time is also important and Charlie might appreciate a new face.
It was a wonderful Valentiney week and Charlie got lots of valentines from his friends. Today in the car he said some of their names: Aubrey, Sawyer and Annie. I'm going to do my best to get it on video. He also says 'trash' which is so freaking adorable and I'm hoping to get some video of that as well. We made and sent handprint Valentines to the family and gave some chocolates to Charlie's teachers.
Also, it was the end of Mardi Gras! We didn't spend much time on the parade route although we did make it out for an hour or so before Rex and Charlie got to walk on St. Charles and get exposed to the crazy costumes. The best costumes were a group of oompa loompas waiting for the bus on Magazine, unfortunately did not get a picture of that.
Charlie also discovered Barney this week and absolutely LOVES him. I have a feeling we're going to be watching a lot of Barney in the near future. We're hoping to get him hooked on Sesame Street and last night he had a good giggle watching the wolf puppet from Little Red Ridinghood eat up a basket of goodies. He also enjoyed some back tickling :)
