Daddy's Little Ghoul!

Since we are almost halfway through October, I wanted to get Katherine in the Halloween spirit. Check back in the next couple weeks and we may post a few pics of her first Halloween costume.




Daddy's Little Ghoul!


"You wanna race?"


"Bye Daddy! Catch me if you can!"

Katherine enjoyed spending Sunday afternoon celebrating her Pra Babcha's (Great Grandmother's) Birthday!

A new Nephew and Cousin to Love!

Last Saturday Lauren and Josh welcomed a new baby boy! Sawyer Lain Dennis was born October 3! We are so excited for the new family and can not wait to meet him soon! We hope to post some pictures in a couple of weeks once we get some of our own, we don't want to "steal" anyone's ;-)

Patent Pending

Now that Katherine has mobility, she tends to get a little dirty. Today she decided to take a "bath" in Charlie's water bowl. Therefore, daddy had to give her a real bath. Here's a picture of our little inventor in her Patent Pending shirt just after midday bathtime.


Check out my two top teeth!


"Da da, give me the strap on that camera!"


"Success!"

Afternoon at the Dog Park

Today was a warm and sunny October day. Katherine decided to take Charlie to the Shirlington Dog Park to make him tired. Charlie just turned 6 months and is nearly 70lbs. We think he still has a lot of growing left in him (he hasn't fully grown into his bear paws). He had fun running with what appeared to be at least a hundred other puppies. The massive white dog in the third picture was Charlie's friend.

Charlie is learning a few things at puppy school. He's learned to "sit," "stay," "come" when called, "leave it," "take it," and "drop it." We're also working on leash walking; he thinks he's a Clydesdale horse (i.e., he likes to pull). We can't wait until the instructor provides some hints to control his barking and "nibbling."

The Chapelsky Crawl

Katherine has a very unique crawl. Which we have learned is the same as her Mommy's was. Like Mother like Daughter

What's out there?

Katherine has discovered how to stand on her bumper to give her a little more height.
We will be lowering the crib again this weekend!
