Christmas in the Mountains

Santa Baby

Quick Update

I've been so bad at updating and I swear I will do it in the next few days.... but in the meantime, hop over to the Simpson's blog for pictures of Charlie and our family from our Colorado trip!

Breakfast with Santa

Rivi has an annual breakfast with Santa (the swim club in our neighborhood) complete with chocolate chip pancakes. We went this year with some of our friends. I was very impressed with Santa (real beard and very authentic looking)

Waiting in line!Checking out Santa... Who is this guy???

Mom come get me!

What a fun morning!

Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree

Gigi's friend made a tiny Christmas tree for Charlie and he just loves it! (apparently, he also loves eating his blocks). We use it as a night light in his room.
On a side note, Charlie is now mobile! He army scoots with the best of 'um (not yet completely crawing). He prefers to be upright though--walking and holding on our fingers!

At his nine month appointment... 19lbs6oz (25th percentile) and 29 inches (like 70th I think?). Still nursing/taking bottles 4-5x/day but now eating 3 meals a day. He loves feeding himself but we try to get some purees in first as he isn't very efficient.

Thanksgiving (and Christmas) with the Collevechios

Kisses from Olive, Charlie's doggie cousin :) Charlie had several Christmas presents from Coco, Pops, uncle Kyle and aunt Becky since we won't see them at Christmas. He loved tasting all of the presents...

We had a great holiday!!!
