Way too EARLY


So Charley decided it would be a good idea to get up about 1 1/2 hours earlier than usual today! :( I think I'll be taking a morning nap with him today :) We have to take the dogs to get there hair done at 9 and then have no other plans till Grandma Shirlee comes over to babysit while I go to work! We dont really have a whole lot of new things going on.

Greg is leaving Friday morning to make the trip to New Mexico with Rob to take the chevelle to get restored. They are leaving really early I guess and plan to be back sometime Sunday night! So Charley and I decided to take advantage of Daddy being gone and are going to go to Pella to stay over night in hotel with my mom! We already have our swimming gear pack! But before we can get to excited we have to survive a few more days and a baby shower for some friends! And our first shopping trip with Amanda and Aubrey! We are going to go to Williamsburg to go shopping for the kiddos! Can't wait Carters has TONS of clothes that I'm positive Charley CAN NOT live without! :) Then when we get up Sunday we are going to head to Ames to see the rest of the Kibbe Family!

Charley offically has 4 teeth now although the 4th one is only through a little! He is pretty cute with them and enjoys showing them off! He isn't walking yet but I think he is getting pretty close! He has recently been letting go of whatever he is hanging on to (like a testing to see if he can) for a few seconds and then either grabbing it again or just falling.! He is a brave little man!
Greg has been working day for the last 2 weeks since a guy on days is out of town setting up a machine at a different location and just found out that he can work days next week also! We have enjoyed him being home with us at night but it is going to make it really hard when he goes back to nights! :( Oh well we are enjoying it while we can!

I'll try to update from our shopping trip, night in hotel, and day with Kibbe's asap!



Mommy's little helper!

Let me out! I wanna play outside!

Baby?

Thought this would be a good time to blog since I just put Charley down for a nap ( I hear him up there laughing and spitting) Not alot of new stuff going on here. Greg is working days this week and just found out today probably next week to since there is a guy gone working at another plant location. We have been in the process of getting the spare room converted to Charley's room! Slowly but surely it is getting there. A few weeks ago I painted it and we plan to get everything else ready (cleaned out) for Charley to move into while Greg is home in the evenings! I'm not sure who is going to take the change the hardest Charley or me?


Well I am pleased to announce that we have a new baby in the family! My brother and sister in law had a baby girl on Saturday March 5th 2011. Aubrey Lynn Plate 6 lbs. 7 oz. 19 in. long. She was a month early as her due date wasnt till April 3 but I guess she wanted to come meet us NOW! She is adorable and Charley loves her. We are trying to get him to say aubrey and he makes some noises that sound pretty close!

Again
Aubrey Lynn

Greg has been working in garage getting the openers and electric stuff done! Sound like some dirt/driveway work is in our future! Well I can still hear Charley talkin in his crib so I guess he decided naptime isnt such a great idea! Best go get him! :)

A long time ago -------- Now

Obviously we are AWESOME at updating this! I guess there isnt a whole lot of stuff going on here just the normal working and sleeping! HAHA..Greg is been working 58 hour weeks for what seems like forever! So Charley and I dont see much of him! :( Nothing new with me but Charley is growing like crazy and learning new stuff everyday! He has his 2 bottom teeth and the top 2 are almost through! (we can see them) He is pulling up on everything! Loves to play with the puppies and army crawls everywhere! We are guessing he will be walking in the next month or so! He likes to through things over the edge of highchair and then look at you and say ahhh ohhhh! I think he knows it annoys me and so he makes me laugh! He LOVES to spit it is very naughty but oh so CUTE! Other than that not a whole lot going on here. The garage has lights finally and the garage door openers are in the works. I'll be glad when they are up and running! I will TRY to update a little more often! Wish me luck :)
