not quite an update

Charlie

Cutie, so this isn't quiet a full update, but I just wanted to post the picture I took of how you fell asleep tonight. It was a tough day and long day for you. You work up before 7 (Dada asked for you to sleep until 7). When he came in to get you around 6:30 and told you it wasn't 7, you said, "It's 9 Dada!" Then you proceeded to count to 14 for him. He made you eat pancakes for breakfast (and muffins thanks to your friend W), go to the park, play outside in the yard, speech therapy, play with bubbles, go to the doctor's, and get blood work. Okay, those last two were harder. When the doctor told you about the blood work you told him, "No" and "Done." Yep. The blood work didn't go so well. Two tries/needles later, you left with a tear stained face, a smile, and a handful of stickers.BTW- You asked for pizza for dinner afterwards.

Okay, so I didn't just post the picture. But here it is. . .

 {In this picture, you can just see Jake's bandana next to your elbow. You always sleep with Yoda, Elmo (big one), and Jake. Little Elmo generally fits with the rest of the Street Crew on the ledge of your crib.}

 {Just love this.}

So I didn't realize how long it had been since using the "big" camera until I uploaded the two above pictures. So the picture below was taken back on January 6th. They had just announced the hockey season would happen. So. . . We needed to see how your hockey sweater fit.

Last year, back on March 13, 2012 this is how you looked in it. (you look so small)

January 6, 2013. So the sleeves are really rolled, but you can walk in it. :)

What a year ago today looked like. . .

So in the world of catch-up, we will need to discuss:

-hands

-kisses and hugs at bed time

-"hon"

-re-evaluations at ES

-faces in the mirror

-I am sure other stuff

Love
