Who's got

big bue eyes and refuses to nap?

This guy!

Last night I was holding him thinking about how much he looks like Ted. Don'tcha think?

First Snow...

and we missed it!

We got a dusting of snow overnight that did stick. But Charlie slept until it had melted, so I could not get pictures.

This does give me hope that we will get some cute snowy pics this year, though.

He Wears a Lot of Hats

Here Charlie is looking ever so cute in Big Daddy's cap. This smile is the one he reserves just for Big Daddy.

Here he's a sleeping model for the new Sheepy Pants that I made him

And this sums up his mood lately- crabby. Teething is no fun.

Swim Lessons

Charlie had his first swim lesson today. He loved the water. He's already kicking, reaching for toys in the water, and holding himself up on the edge of the pool. Not too keen on floating on his back yet.

Also, a belated note to Daddy: "Hey, Daddy, happy birthday! I made you a present but I left it in my other pants!"

First Kiss(es)

In addition to our recent travels, we've been to a few parties lately. Charlie, ever the ladies' man, even got some smooching in.

Houston, We Have a Tooth

I can't snap a picture because the babyman is sleeping, but he's got a tooth and a half! Ted got to feel the first one before he left for work yesterday. Today it is clearly visible above the gumline with its neighbor quickly gaining ground.

Six Month Stats

Well, he's still short but catching up with his peers. He was very good at his appointment. Again the doctor said he's perfect. We agree, of course.
