Birthday cake video I

Birthday cake video II

1st Birthday, Tah dah!

To celebrate, some friends came over for cake on Friday, the 25th:

Charlie loves having the boys around. It gives him a chance to be loud!

This is Charlie's little friend from church. She is the sweetest little thing and tolerates most of what he dishes out. Sometimes he can't keep his hands off her.


"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you..."


At first, the full sized piece of cake was a little intimidating...

But soon he dove right in and loved it!

Eating almost the whole thing!



Saturday, January 26th (actual birthday)

This is a funny new face he does. Wrestling on the bed with Dad is one of our favorite past times.

New airplane! Thank you Jim and Virginia!

A fun ball popper toy! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Hadd!

It was a great first birthday. Thanks for all the fun gifts Grandma Hadd and for the sweater, Aunt Diane.

Found some good ones!

Okay, while I as searching for the Charlie one, I found these other funny kid TV commercials. If you haven't seen them yet, take a look.

Funny little kid

Karate kid

Spinach and carrots

Snotty doctor

Another Charlie, in another part of the world...

Oh my gosh! This is the cutest video I've ever seen. I could just eat up those little English accents. Thanks, Ellen DeGeneres, for sharing.

Emerging Comedian

This Sunday afternoon, we were hoping Charlie would take a nap so we could get our Sunday afternoon nap, too. Though tired he may have been, the nap didn't happen. Instead, he was content to play in the living room by himself for about 2 hours. It always happens that the really funny stuff happens before you are able to grab the camera. So this may not seem as funny to you as it was to us.
Ladies and Gentlemen, maybe I present to you, one week shy of his 1st birthday, Charlie the baby comedian!!!! Give him a big round of applause!

Scholarly Charlie

We can't stop this kid. His ambitions are just too high!

He's looking up the word, "Precocious".

Charlie Chews

Apparently, I have a little 6-tooth beaver on my hands who really wants to leave his mark in the world. Who knows how long it has been in the making, here is what I found after Charlie's nap today:


Any other "chewers" out there? Little Sunny of Lemony Snicket can relate.

How Dave See's the World

I woke up the other morning to Shelly asking me why I was banging my arm against the side of the bed. Seemed like a silly question, but it got me to thinking, "Why am I banging my arm against the side of the bed?"

Get along little Charlie

Grandma Hadd to Maryland!!

My mom came to visit for just a bit while she was visiting Mary Jane in New Jersey.

Mary Jane and Charlie

My Guys and Their Hats

Awww, how cute. A nice pose for the camera.

"Alright, that's it. How do ya get this thing off?"

"No really, come on guys, how do you get it off?"

"Man, the things I go through..."
