Charlie's First Thanksgiving

The Zoo

Charlie went to Lowry Park Zoo on Sunday for Billy's 9th birthday. It was also Grammy and Grandpa's 40th anniversary! Charlie enjoyed the manatees and fish the most, so maybe we will take him to the aquarium next. On another note, I think it was also the weakest showing by our family at a Bucs game as long as I can remember.


Charlie paid attention to the budgies, until he fell asleep. This was after the budgie incident.

Chris and David had a good time feeding all the different animals.

This is how Charlie spent the middle part of his trip to the zoo.

Mom wanted to show Charlie the giraffes and elephants, and was very excited that he woke up just in time. However, he didn't pay attention to them at all because he was too amused by his mom.

Happy Birthday Mema!

Charlie enjoyed a cattle drive downtown by the history center. It was Mema's birthday!

Ribbit!

Absolutely adorable hat from Aunt Leslie and Uncle Lealon!

What's Goin On

Charlie likes to watch whats going on in the kitchen. He is getting ready to help prepare Thanksgiving dinner.

Sorry, Charlie!

Charlie wanted to go hunting with Dad, but Mom said no. Get used to it!

Growing Up

Although his grandfather is trying to convince him to follow in his footsteps, Charlie told me he would like to be a neurosurgeon or a professional soccer player when he grows up. He still likes to wear this outfit to make grandpa happy.

Two Months Old!

Charlie is two months old! He grows out of his clothes at an alarming rate. He enjoys talking and laughing with his mom and dad and grandparents. He works hard to not smile and laugh while being photographed.

More Halloween!
