3 Months and so many new tricks!

Charlee Marie is now officially 3 months old! She is growing day by day and has so many new tricks. She rolled over for the first time on Saturday! She likes to fall asleep on her side, she LOVES to snuggle, she did her first little giggle but we are waiting for more and she loves to stare at her big cousin Gracie. We are having fun in San Jose with the girls while the boys are in Idaho rafting down the river. We are so lucky to have this time together. Though we are excited to have the boys home, it has been great to have girl time!


Me, Roman, Gracie and Anya (Gracie has named Gramma, Anya!)

Gracie and Charlee-- Gracie is SO sweet with her and likes to rock her in her chair. She even brought Charlee her bottle when she was crying.


My dear friend Laura came over for the 4th of July parade with her 16 month old nephew Roman. Roman is the smartest child we have ever met- he says 3-4 word sentences and knows his colors and can count to 16! He is also such a tender boy-- so fun!

Yea!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty!

Charlee Marie was too cute this morning in her hilarious bow. Our photographer gave it to us yesterday and we just love it. She is so expressive and is now 'talking' so much and is super adorable. Love to you all!

Fun with Gramma!

Charlee has had a great time with Gramma the last two days. She has been nice enough to watch our little one while we go to work. Charlee is changing every day and is now 11 weeks old. Some of her new tricks include holding her clothes, watching you as you walk out of the room, lots of conversation, small squeals and big smiles. We caught a few of these moments on a video today.


Holy Moly! Gramma put on a hole-y sock...sista needs a new pair of shoes :)



Becky turns 28!

We had a great time celebrating Becky's 28th birthday with Gramma, Pops, Norm, Brian and Christy. Charlee partied till she dropped!

MMMMMMMmmmm Mayonaise Cake!



Make it count!

Pops is a great reader







Video chat with the Marshalls!

EORM here I come!

Charlee had a great time visiting EORM for my, Jonathan, and Alice's lunch. Jyoti and I were pregnant at the same time and delivered 11 days apart. You can see baby Neha in the pictures...Charlee looked like a giant next to her! Must be those Andrews/Leonard genes :)

Gramma's school and chillin in the bumbo

Charlee and I had a reat time visiting Gramma and her student's on the last day of school. All of the kids loved little miss Charlee! We also put her in the Bumbo for the first time...she seemed to like it! She is growing up so fast and is now 10 weeks old!





Arizona family trip

We had an amazing trip to Arizona with our whole Andrews side of the family. The service for Papa was small and wonderful. We are so proud that we made it to this point-- after all of the court battles, Papa is resting forever right where he belongs- in Flagstaff and next to Granny. Pops and Aunt Deb worked so hard to get him there...thank you! I think that Granny and Papa were smiling down on us the whole weekend and were laughing right along with us!

Like niece, like Auntie

We were so lucky to visit with Norm's cousin Clay while in Phoenix. Charlee just loved him!

The stroller brigade...we were a force to be reckoned with!

The boys playing cards while the women tended to the children!

All wet after jumping into the water at Slide Rock

Slide Rock is so beautiful just outside Sedona in AZ. Pops and Aunt Deb used to go there as kids with Granny and Papa

Gracie intently learning about horses...she is a girl after her Aunt Becky's heart!

Norm had a great time with Ethan! He kept roughhousing with him and playing with his hair. This is a mohawk courtesy of Norm!

So sleepy on the car ride from Phoenix to Flagstaff
