Fun with Grandma Jo & Grandpa Spike

Charlie Jo had such a great time seeing her Grandma Jo and Grandpa Spike last week! They were amazed by her new walking skills and they agreed that she had changed a lot since they last saw her at Christmas. Here are some of the fun things we did:

We took Connie for walks (thank goodness it warmed up after our first evening there).



Grandpa Spike introduced CJ to the joy of grape popsicles.



YUM!!!



The fact that no drips landed on CJ's shirt is a testament to Grandpa Spike's fastidious nature.



We had a minor melt-down every time the popsicle went away though.



I didn't get any pictures of him, but my cousin, Jordan, came over for dinner with a birthday gift for CJ. Yes, CJ, that diaper does make your butt look a tad big.



CJ is always happy to have Italian for dinner.



She's not such a big fan of clean-up though.



CJ showed Grandma and Grandpa how much she loves Connie.



She helped us load the dishwasher.



And assisted with sorting through clothes to hand down to Baby Sonia. Love the static in the hair!



She demonstrated her runway skills and modeled some new clothes Grandma Jo bought her.



She took everyone to a BBQ joint for dinner.



And of course, the little bookworm demanded that Grandma Jo and Grandpa Spike read her every book she owned about 50 times each. Again, her grandparents showed legendary patience!

I love that the very first popsicle Charbaby tried was a GRAPE popsicle.... Could there be more potential for mess?!? Good thing the White Tornado himself was wielding the popsicle.

So many good pictures!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anything cuter than her tummy in the 1st popsicle shot? I think not.
