5 1/2 Months - 18 pounds 12 oz - 27 in

I took Charlie in for his 5 months shots and he is topping the scales at almost 19 pounds and measuring 27 inches. They have a mirror on the wall where he is measured and he loves looking at himself and others in the mirror. I decided that it was time for a picture of his belly!!!


Saturday afternoon we went to the Christmas Tree lot and picked out our tree. We were going to get just a small tree, but we ended up with a 7 footer.

Charlie checking out all the tress (I promise his feet weren't cold).


Andy and Kevin(our next door neighbor) bringing in the tree.


Traditionally the angel should go on last, but we decided we like our dessert first.


We had to hold off on decorating because we had a holiday party at Malin's house. A traditional Swedish Christmas party with yummy meatballs and even a performance by Malin as Santa Lucia(Swedish tradition). Charlie joined the party for about 5 minutes and spent the rest of the evening sleeping like an angel. Here he is with Kumiko and Lena.
