Baby Jail

Nice weekend, we went to a BBQ/swim party last night given by one of Charlie's work associates. We did not swim, but enjoyed being outside, it was breezy so not too hot, and CR was pretty relaxed looking at all the smiling faces around the table (I have got to remember how much he likes this, I am always too nervous bringing him out). There were two other babies there, one 10 months and one 15 months - so we got a bit of a preview of what's to come.

Today we went to the Katy Mills and walked around and did a little shopping, as usual it was stroller madness (!), but where else can you find such a great place to walk - it has to be like a mile and a half all the way around, with interesting things to look at, that is air-conditioned? And, CR bought me some new clothes for my birthday, and I bought him a couple of new clothes at the Children's Place b/c the ("Monster") sale was actually pretty good - some stuff rang up for less than the sale tag price - so, yea! (Whereas the 'Sale' at Gymboree left much to be desired, so no dice there.)

These pics are from last evening before we left, if I was not so busy following him around I could have a whole series titled 'Places Charlie Ross Should NOT Be' (or, 'On the Way To, Places Charlie Ross Should NOT Be'). This last one I could not pass up, under the coffee table, he was determined to crawl in there, but once the novelty wore off he found it rather like a baby jail (and then we let him do it once more this morning for Charlie to see). : )
