Charlie was a ring barer in Kellie & Derek's wedding

(here's daddy trying to persuade him to make it to the end of the aisle~he was holding onto the rings instead of the pillow and twirling it around, nice)

Didn't want to stand still long enough to be in another picture~

The perfect couple

Jackson can hold himself up and roll over

And he's ALMOST sitting up by himself...and as always, has a big 'ol smile!

Charlie's 2nd birthday

He's 2, believe it!!
Time really goes by way too fast. Charlie is a fully energized 2 year old, complete with whining and tantrums, but also with the sweetest little sayings and a growing vocabulary. He LOVES keys and remotes. You have no idea how much he loves 'em. He really likes to tinker with stuff that is complex and that really makes him think. We think he's going to be an engineer or a scientist...we'll see!

Oh Christmas Tree...

Going to pick it out~ Daddy and mini-me

Poor guy...didn't like being bundled up like the little brother from A Christmas Story

The boys in front of the tree
