Grandpa and Grandma Wagner meet Charlie Byron!!!

The circle is complete...Charlie has met and gotten to know all his grandparents! We were blessed in September to have his "Buffalo Grandparents" come to see us. Tom was off work, so the four of them hung out together having fun. Charlie got an even better feel of Buffalo watching the football game (the picture with everyone on the couch). The sun kept shining during the trip, so we were able to take them to Fishermens Terminal for dinner with a sunny view of the boats. Charlie continued to be the most wonderful baby as he sat patiently watching us eat and enjoy ourselves. These two were sure easy, fun houseguests. We have heard a rumor that we may get the pleasure of their company again in Seattle. Isn't it funny what grandchildren can do? We try not to take it too personally. But, hey - we love hanging out with Charlie too!!!

Seahawk Fans

Well, I may get flack from our Buffalo family for this post. However, Charlie has become a bit of a Seahawk fan. He is often caught saying: "No! Not another injury. How many seasons can they blame things on injuries?" (He has learned that one from his dad.) So, until the threatened jersey arrives from Buffalo - he is a Seahawk fan. We often watch the Seahawks with our friends Rupert, Dana and Emmett. Here are a few pictures of Emmett and Charlie cheering on their team.

The sunglasses

We were given a pair of blue sunglasses by my mother before Charlie was born. His little blue eyes get sensitive to light, so we often put the glasses on him when we go out. He doesn't seem to mind. Charlie has only once pulled them off when we were at a park. I thought I would post a few of the pictures because they are quite precious.

Newman Lake Vacation

Back in August the three of us spent almost two weeks an Newman Lake. We so loved spending time together as a family and introducing Charlie to the joys of the Butterfly cabin. Charlie took a few dips into the lake, loved being outside looking at the leaves, sky and everything else, taking evening walks, visiting with extended family, and taking a boat cruise. This was precious time that we will always be grateful for having.

Poor little sick guy!

It has been a while since I have posted. So, I'll do a little updating. Earlier this summer Charlie had his first viral infection. Boy, we were so careful, but he still caught a bug. Well, this infection turned into what was diagnosed as pink eye. His eye looks better here than it did at some points.

Charlie turns 3 months today!

Today Charlie enters into his third month of life. I'm so blessed to be home with him again this month. We get another month of playing and growing up. I'm so happy. Well, today we have had some fun playing (and many tears trying to get to sleep). Here are a few pictures of Charlie at three months. The little yellow and black striped outfit seems so boy. I'm really starting to enjoy getting him dressed in cute boy outfits.

Spokane & Newman Lake

Charlie had quite the adventure last weekend. First, he took his first ever plane ride. He acted like a pro as he was happy all but one moment and flirted with folks on the plane. We were able to time things right on the way there so that he nursed during take off and then he slept on the way home. It helps that it was only a 40 minute flight. While in Spokane, we met with GG (Grandma Dorie) and Auntie Marian and then headed to the family cabin on Newman. Charlie had so much fun with his extended family and being at the lake. Tom and my mom put him in the lake while I was out with my sister Kristin, so I missed his first dip into the lake. At the end of the weekend, we were finally able to meet Uncle Will and Erin. Yippee!! Charlie really enjoyed meeting them. The beard didn't throw him off at all. Here are a few pics from that trip.
