Happy Holidays!

6 months photos? Yeah right. We did, however, make it to the 9 month photos! =)

Happy Fall Ya'll

Yesterday, the Biddick crew packed up and headed out to the apple orchard. We decided on Epplegarten - just east of Verona. The weather was beautiful, and I think Charlie could vouch that the apples weren't too bad either....

Big boy!

He is "standing" at 8 months? I think we are in trouble...

Tomatoes.

Tomatoes.

I thought dicing and freezing the tomatoes wouldn't be so hard...

well, at least not as hard as canning would be.

I soaked.

I blanched.

I diced.

Ta-da!

28 cups of tomatoes.

Whew!

I am feeling like such a good housewife.

Devil's Lake - August 2010

Oh where, oh where, oh where have you gone?

Oh where, oh where can you be????

Well, needless to say, I took a break from blogging. Ha! Like I was a professional anyway... :) Quick update - Mr. Charlie is almost 8 months old. Wow! I am not sure where the time went, but he is still the happiest baby ever. We are so very lucky!

Charlie did just get through a small battle with infantigo. It didn't bother him a bit. He was a champ at taking his antibiotic - and, in 7 days, it cleared up. He also just sprouted a tooth! He was beside himself for a few days, and after chalking it up to "he must be teething", there is now one VERY sharp object lining his chompers! I suspect another one will pop through soon. He is still chowing down on breast milk, but he is getting some solids too. His favorite are pears, naners and apples. He is getting the hang of feeding himself yogurt puffs and puff ring cereal. He will be a pro soon! He took his first bottle of formula yesterday - I think he drank it so fast, he didn't realize it was something different. He is also becoming quite the mover! His maneuver isn't a "full" crawl, but it is close - and, he is fast! He is growing up way to fast for me.

Brad and I are still trying to keep up with Charlie. With both of us working 40+ hours a week, it can prove to be no small feat. He is in good hands at daycare, however. Charlie loves, loves, loves his Tracy. We again got very lucky with her and her family. It makes me leaving for work a bit easier - but, I have to admit, I do still drive to work teary eyed at least once a week. He grows so darn fast - I can't help but think that I am missing something...

I hope all of you are enjoying your summer. I can't believe that September is around the corner! Hopefully, by the next time I check in - Charlie will have wonderfully mastered "ma ma" just as much as he has "da da"... :)

XOXO
