6 month photo shoot

A picture says a 1000 words...

 

That's a wrap...I'm outta here...

My first high-chair

Charli ate her first meal in her high chair, 6 months and 1 day old. She ate her favorite food yet, carrots!

Hanging out with Grampy

Now that Uncle Eric is the head football coach in my district, it makes for family night every Friday with Sassy and Grampy. Here are some pictures of our good times during the 2012 football season!

Sleeping Beauty

This is our beautiful girl after her 6 month shots...as peaceful as can be; angelic.

6 months old

Charli had her 6 month doctor appointment on the 15th with Dr. Kristin. Charli is 16.8 lbs. and 26" tall, which puts her in the 50 th percentile for both, yeah Charli! She also received 6 shots and was very brave, only a few tears and then she was good to go. This time she slept for almost the entire rest of the day.

After the appointment we went to pick up some things we bought from an $8 million home being demo'd in Glencoe. Here are some pictures of the beautiful yard over looking Lake Michigan, pretty amazing lot to say the least and what a beautiful day.

First haircut

Just shy of 6 months old, Charli got her first haircut! Her bangs were hanging in her eyes, and although she is too cute for words with her hair style-- her vision is way more important :) Sassy came over and gave the never staying still Charli her haircut and you will see the outcome below.

 

She bears a strange resemblence to Lloyd Christmas! Too funny!! Too cute!

Baptism

On Sunday, September 9th, Charli was baptised at St. Margaret Mary Church in a calm, peaceful, serene ...erk...record scratch...that couldn't be farther from the truth. Charli was Christened in a mass of Catholic Chaos. First of all, it was the Church's annual picnic and Father Paul couldn't wait to attend. The parking lot was full as well as the streets. Our little angel was a little fuss wagon, the baby who never cries made up for it on Sunday! Not only was the ceremony directly in the middle of her nap, she was hungry and found a way to spit up twice all over Mommy. Her beautiful dress came with a bonnet which got close to becoming a weapon and causing strangulation due to the tie becoming knotted. The Priest started the ceremony without me or Eric (Godfather) and he scolded Eric during the mass for taking a picture of Charli with his phone. This could only happen to my family, but it has now extended to my new bigger family. It couldn't have been more of a sh*t show which made it absolutely perfect. Charli looked beautiful in her dress and we were surrounded by our closest family members who even flew in from Colorado and California. Charli has wonderful Godparents in Mindy and Eric and our little girl has now been welcomed formally into the family of God. She couldn't be more loved and yet everyday we find a way to love her more, she is our little miracle. Thanks Mom and Dad for the party is was a fantastic time celebrating Charli. I love you!
