3 years old!!

I know... I can't believe it myself. I had a moment of emotionality looking at his big-boy face and big-boy attitude and wondered "what happened?". In the past year he seems to have gone from a baby to a boy. From an only child to a big brother. From a non-speaking entity to the chattiest kid in town. It's quite hard to believe.


These photos are also hard to believe. Yes, it's time for the annual bowl-fest. You'll remember (or maybe not) that he was so tiny when he came home from the hospital that I could bathe him in my mixing bowl. Well, those days are well over.



Here is the walk down memory lane:

Charley today; 3 years old:

It's getting too small to sit in! Bail-a-roo!


Definitely a better fit for the toys:

Sweet, smiley little chimp, with "Alfalfa hair". Happy birthday buddy.

p.s. I do know his birthday is tomorrow... I haven't totally lost it. But, there has been a calm spell this afternoon where Sam's asleep and Charley is game, so I say "strike while the iron's hot"!

p.p.s. Chris is M.I.A. this week, as he is apprenticing with the Ottawa Paramedics. I know, I know... his life is weird.
