The Jumparoo is the new toy (a great hand-me-down gift from a friend)...he loves it.
We used to say that we wouldn't have baby toys in the living room...so much for that :)



Red hair and brown eyes just like his Dad!

This "Ladies Man" thinks he is easy on the eyes...

Christmas Eve in Florida was sunny and 80 degrees!

Having fun with Mom in Florida...

Aunt Alana wears alot of lipstick, which is fine with Charlie.

...as long as she keeps it off of his cheek. Yuck!

Charlie helped his Pop read the Christmas story from the pulpit on Christmas Eve...

Do we see a future for him at the pulpit? Hmmm...

TOTAL STUD!

Less so when he is trying to suck on his whole hand at once.

OUR FAVORITE GIFT IN OUR STOCKING...

WAS CHARLIE, WHO GOT ALOT OF TIME IN WITH GRAMMY

AS WELL AS SOME CHRISTMAS REST...

AND SOME TIME WITH UNCLE SCOTTY...

Charlie was amazed at how many gifts he recieved,

...and even got

...in a little christmas football!

...SPENT TIME WITH AUNTIE ALANA....

...AND UNCLE CHRIS...

...AND OF COURSE MOM AND DAD.

I know this picture is over exposed, but the eyes are so clear.

(note: proportionally, babies have huge heads.
I mean look at that thing!)

 

Charlie wanted to send out a birthday wish.
He says, " Hey Lily, Happy 5th Birthday!"

I think there may be some mischief behind that smile.

So much reading makes a boy worn out.

 

I think of this swirl fondly.

Sorry the pics have been slow lately lots of work. Wil get back on the horse when I catch my breath. in the meantime here is another snippet of baby song.

Charlie's cooing on the little screen!

He laughed for the first time at 5:50 pm.

What's better,

He laughs when his dad kisses him under his ears.

David has sometimes called our dog Mabel Jealous.

I wonder why.
