Charlie Update

It's been several weeks since we last posted pictures of our "little" puppy. As you can see he's grown. He's a lean, 40 lbs. Did I mention last time that his dad, "Lefty", is 95lbs...and his mom, "Sunny", is not much smaller.

He's already loosing his puppy teeth and getting his adult teeth. Lets hope that his adult teeth are not as sharp as the puppy teeth. In his spare time, Charlie enjoys digging holes under our fence (and escaping into the neighbor's yard to play with his friend, Buddy). As you can see in the picture below, kids at our neighbors daycare also keep him busy. Charlie also enjoys "nibbling" on ankles, shoe laces, toes, hands, clothes, and just about anything else he can get those teeth on. Again, I hope the adult teeth are not as sharp as the puppy teeth. Oh yeah, and Charlie LOVES Mr. Simba. Although the feeling is clearly not mutual.

Tuesdays with Daddy

I have the pleasure of spending Tuesdays (and Wednesdays) with Katherine. Here are a couple pictures that I snapped while cleaning the Office.



My best lion's roooaarrrrrrrrr! Enlarge to see my first two teeth.





Yeah, my daddy doesn't know how to brush my hair.

A friend's special day

Today we had the pleasure of celebrating Beckett's Dedication with our good friends, Melanie, Dave, Tallula and of course Beckett!

Baby Blues

The other day Katherine was playing with her two front teeth that came in a few weeks ago. While trying to get a picture of her teeth, these cute pictures came about. No teeth pictures, she would not allow that :-(

Baby Blues

Seriously Mommy!

Einstein's Twin

We had to post this picture....wild and crazy hair!

I LOVE TO EAT!

Move over breast milk, I found Gerber! While at the beach we introduced Katherine to food...and she loved it so much she took the spoon out of daddy's hand. She's a natural eater. We celebrated by taking her to Babies R Us to get a highchair.


Give me that spoon!


Yum...green beans

My new friend Maya and I have fun on the "Mall"

Katherine also enjoyed meeting another new friend, Maya. We had a great time catching up with Tia and Maya at the reflecting pool on the DC Mall.
