Seven Month Milestones

7 months old

Charley is getting bigger and changing everyday. Here are some milestones that she has done this month!

As you can tell from the picture above she is spending more time on her belly!
She is beginning to pivot when she is on her belly.
She is able to put the pacifier back in her mouth but always puts it in upside down.....she's one of a kind!
She is starting to shake rattles and throw toys.
She has begun to wave but we call it her Rodeo wave because she uses her whole body!
She is also eating a variety of solid foods! Her favorites are Avocado, Peach, Pear, and Banana.

We love watching all of the little changes that take place every day!

Since Charley has been born we have been co-sleeping. It works for our family but our queen size bed was a getting a bit small! So for our Anniversary we decided to treat ourselves and buy a King Size Bed for our new bedroom! A big Thank You to our friend JaNee who hooked us up with our new mattress!

One of our favorite times in bath time! Charley loves to be in the bath and Darrin loves wrapping her up like a little baby burrito!

I recently joined a MOMS Club in Rocklin and they asked us to be the family of the month for the June newsletter and asked us to submit a recent family photo. Oma took this family photo for us in our backyard! Thanks Oma!

The Fair

On Saturday June 23rd we went to the Placer County Fair where we had a fun time checking out the exhibits, livestock, local entertainment, and food!

At the fair they had this sideshow area where you could pay a buck to see The World's Largest Pig, The World's Smallest Horse, and The Giant Gator. We thought that Charley could be the 4th attraction, The World's Cutest Baby!

Father's Day

We got back from our trip to Las Vegas on Saturday the 16th. Just in time to host a Father's Day Bash at our house to celebrate Darrin's First Father's Day! We had a Tiki inspired party served Hawaiian barbeque and encouraged everyone to wear Hawaiian attire. Darrin's Dad Allen and Marilyn attended along with Marilyn's son Gerrin,his wife Kristen, and their 5 month old baby girl Gemma. Kristen's brother Michael and his family live in Roseville which is very close so they came along with Kristen's mom.

Happy Father's Day Darrin!

Family Trip to Las Vegas

This was quite a busy month for our family! On June 3rd my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary! To celebrate we all went to Las Vegas for a week.

Before we left  for our trip to Las Vegas I decided to change my hairstyle.  It's hard to believe but I've had red hair for eighteen years! So I decided it was time for a new look plus I wanted a hairstyle that would take me less time in the morning since time is a precious commodity!

My new mom do!
On June 4th Darrin and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary! It's amazing to me that it's already been five years! I am so blessed to have found such an amazing man to be my partner in this adventure called life! We decided that the best way to celebrate would be to spend time as a family so we drove an hour to the Ghiradelli Ice Cream Shop in Lathrop where we had hot fudge sundaes! They were delicious and it was definitely worth the drive.

Family Trip To Las Vegas

My parents decided that for their 40th wedding anniversary they wanted us all to get together in Las Vegas! So on June 10th the Fitzpatrick gang descended onto Las Vegas for a week! Everyone had a great time and  it was fun to spend time with everyone.

It was hot in Las Vegas and the house we stayed at had a big pool! Charley enjoyed sticking her feet in the water and kicking but she wasn't too sure about getting in much further!

Charley liked kicking in the water!
Putting her feet in was just enough!
The house we rented was very close to the Silverton Casino. At the Silverton they have a very large fish tank and mermaid show. Charley just loved looking at the fish!

The Mermaid! Reminded me of Daryl Hannah in Splash!
One afternoon we went out to lunch at Chili's. This was our first time taking Charley to a sit down restaurant. Charley was so little that we had to put our backpack behind her to help her fit in the high chair! She did great and enjoyed eating her avocado at the table.

The one thing Darrin wanted to see on this trip was the Pawn Shop from Pawn Stars. One day my brother Thomas, my brother-in-law Skyler, and Darrin all went to the pawn shop. Unfortunately they didn't get to see the guys who star on the show but they got to see some of the merchandise that has been on some of the shows.

For Christmas Grandpa bought Charley a onesie but it was too big so we promised that we would wear it in Vegas!

Thanks for the onesie Grandpa! It will come in handy!

Happy Father's Day Dad we love you!
