Brunch with Santa

This past Sunday we took Charlie to have brunch with Santa.  Needless to say, this is the second time Charlie has encountered Santa this year and he was not impressed anymore this time than he was the first. He would hardly look at him, he just sat motionless looking straight ahead occasionally cutting his eyes to see if Santa had left yet. 

 .....he's FINALLY gone!!

But, since I'm such a good Mama, I decided to torture Charlie just a little bit more and we went to see Santa again after brunch! :)

Hopefully, he won't be scarred for life! :)  He still gets excited when he see a Santa figurine or ornament and says "Ho! Ho! Ho!"..... so, maybe we won't have to send him to therapy! :)

My Messy Gymnast/Acrobat!

 Charlie is learning to feed himself using utensils.  While this is a good thing, it is definitely a messy thing!! It's hard not to lend a hand and help the food make it from the plate to his mouth without it spilling all over him or the floor but, I'm slowly getting better at it and so is he! :)

Enjoying some waffles

Another new trick that Charlie has learned (self taught) is standing on the saddle of his rocking horse and balancing himself.  This is usually done while watching TV.  At first, I was a little concerned about him falling but, I've learned that it's nearly impossible to stop him so now we just sit back and observe.  I'm thinking we might enroll in gymnastics or maybe we'll send him to join the circus.......

I don't know if you can tell but, he had just finished feeding himself!

Holiday Spirit!

I just thought I would share a few photos of my cutie pie getting in the holiday spirit! :) This was before (& a few after) we went to see Santa! ....more to come on that adventure! :) Doesn't he just look so handsome?! I am a little biased but, I could (& do) just eat him up! :)
