Butterflies!

We spent our morning at the Butterfly Pavilion with Tricia, Nathan, and Mike. Nathan and James really had fun looking at all sorts of spiders, bugs, fish, crustaceans, and of course, butterflies!

Tricia and Nathan getting a closer look.

And Charlie enjoyed the view of the butterflies from the Snugli.

Charlie recently graduated from the baby bathtub to the bath chair. He loves his baths!

Look Who's 6 Months Old!

Our little Charlie is 6 months old! He now weighs 16 lbs 12 oz and is 27.5 inches long. And as you can see...he is adorable!

Doug took this picture of a racoon eating a piece of pizza right outside our front door. Since it was broad daylight when the sighting occurred, he called Animal Control because we thought the coon might be diseased. Animal Control assured us he was not rabid and that someone was obviously feeding him. We're not too excited about having racoons this close to our house...

Sitting and Sledding

Charlie mastered the skill of sitting up in the past week....just shy of his 6 month birthday!

James wanted to be in one of the pictures too.

We have quite a bit of snow right now so Doug took James sledding on one of the warmer days. I made them pose for me before they headed out.

And off they go!
