Charlie-The Portrait of a Crazy 10-Month-Old Baby

We just love this picture of Charlie on his 10-month birthday. How time flies! Charlie is still a easygoing baby and it is wonderful to see his personality start to come through. He really likes to babble a lot and seems to even have a "sassy" babble when he gets a bit angry (like when he has had enough of his high chair). When you ask him to dance he will start to jump and do a little dance, which is really cute. Charlie really enjoys books and will spend a lot of time turning the pages, and recently started pointing to things and looking up at us, as if wanting to know what he is looking at. Animal sounds are also a big favorite...Daddy's sheep impression is number one....I wonder why?

Canine Bonding

We caught Charlie in the act of pulling Haley's tail here. Since Charlie has become more mobile (and is now attempting finger foods!) Haley seems to have befriended him. Charlie often shoves his toys into Haley's mouth, and Haley promptly chews them.

Stealth Pic








It's hard to get a picture of Charlie now, as when he sees the red light from the camera go on he closes his eyes! I had to pretend I put the camera away for this one...

Charlie is a stockey little boy, weighing in at 23.5 pounds. He is cruising furniture, and just needs to figure out how to put his feet down straight. His favorite activities include; being sung nursery rhymes, banging things together, eating cheese and Cheerios, pulling off his Daddy's glasses and banging on the T.V. He has started to recognise baby sign language, and can do the signs for light, milk, and more, when told the words. He hasn't yet figured out that he can use the signs to get what he wants! I am told this comes as he gets a bit older...

Thanks to all.

Thank you to everyone! Chris and I had a really great Christmas and are even more excited to move back! We look forward to seeing you all in July! Another thanks for all the warm wishes given to Charlie over the Christmas season. Love, Chris and Bev

Charlie and I say goodbye to our friends Kathy and little Ailee.


Ailee is another American -vet-baby born in Glasgow. We'll miss both mom and baby!

Maureen graduates (and gets engaged!)


Charlie and I (he's in the stroller) "surprised" my sister for her graduation- and she surprised us with news of her engagement (to Patrick, see top right).

Charlie and Santa No.1


Charlie liked Santa and felt his strange white hair.

Charlie and the Bell

Charlie LOVED Grandma and Grandpa C.'s bell.

Blurry Charlie.


Stop sticking that thing in my face or else!
