Day 5: Charlie’s New Ride

Brandon — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 04:48:56 +0000

Today was almost a kid free Friday (we still had Charlie). I took Brae and Hannah to their mother’s for the weekend, and Kaity spent the night with a friend. Kris and Charlie and I enjoyed the evening by going out to eat at Encore. It’s one of our favorite places in Lawrence. After dinner, we went for a walk on campus. It was hot but breezy, so it didn’t seem too bad.

On Charlie’s birthday, she received a card from Poppy and Callista which contained some cryptic statement about hoping she “enjoys her new ride.” Well, her new ride arrived by mail, finally. It’s pretty cool.

Day 3: Peek-a-boo

Recently, Charlie has started playing peek-a-boo with me when I walk in the door from work. Usually she is waiting for me with a big smile on her face. She’s so much fun. I love her to pieces.

Day 364: Birthday Girl

Exactly one year ago today, I looked like this:

Hello World

Today, on my first birthday, I look like this:

Cutie Pie

It was extra hot in Kansas today, so my birthday picnic party was cut a little short so we could enjoy the ice cream (and air-conditioning) at Sylas and Maddy’s while I figured out the whole present thing. And to make my first birthday extra special, my Mimi flew up from Arkansas, and my buddies Spencer, Xavier, Cordelia & Lorelei (and their mommy) came all the way from Texas to see me for my birthday! Best present ever!

Day 362: Balls

Lots of my toys have balls. I like to mix and match them. Here are just a few of the ones in my collection.

Day 361: Petey Baby

Kris — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:55:04 +0000

Daddy used to call his little sister “petey baby,” so her nickname for a while was “Pete.”

Now I'm the petey baby.

Day 360: Retro Toys

Kris — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 03:53:21 +0000

These belonged to my oldest sister when she was a baby.

Day 359: Concrete Leaf

Kris — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:51:00 +0000

Amazing what you find if you look down.

Day 358: Rattles

Kris — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 02:23:14 +0000

These were a baby shower gift, but Mommy just found them in the cupboard.

I can take them apart, and each one makes a different noise.

Day 357: Museum Tower

Kris — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 03:48:22 +0000

We spend a lot of time on campus. I take my after dinner nap while Mommy and Daddy go for their evening walk. This tower tops the Natural History Museum.
