Two months, a Baptism and Football Season...

Hello, all!

The past few weeks have flown by in a complete whirlwind.  To be fair, it isn't just Charlie that is making the days fly by...it's all the fun we're having!  He happily comes to workout during stroller class, sleeps while I play tennis and loves splashing in the pool.  This has been the BEST summer. 

On August 21, our little guy was two months old!  At his two month check up, we learned that Charlie is nearly 14 pounds and is 24 inches long!  That places him in the 90th percentile for weight and 83rd for height.  Hello, mega baby.  Check out the picture in his special two month sticker/onesie (thanks Curtis and Amber!).  We made the mistake of waiting to do this until the evening.  The little guy was getting tired...


And then got frustrated...


And then he got in the bath!  He LOVES the bath and would chill in there for hours...


On August 27th, we baptized Charlie at Sacred Heart.  Father Hess, the priest who said our wedding mass, also said mass that evening.  It was such a special day for our little family!




Curtis took pictures during mass (thank you!) and captured some AWESOME shots!








After mass we had some friends and family over for dinner...and cupcakes.  And there might have been some cocktails, too.  This is our nephew, Sam, enjoying the party.  Yes, he is really that cute.


In fact, our house was full of cute kids...this is Charlie's bestie, Adalynn.  



And Charlie's pals Max and Juliet, who happily played outside with Bridget and Lily...and Cy.




Charlie watched his first Hawkeye football game last Saturday.  He was on the edge of his seat.  Can you tell?  This is Charlie celebrating a touchdown.


And a few snapshots from the rest of our Saturday watching football...





We are so blessed to have such special people in our lives!

Until next time!

Meighan and Charlie
