Sorry I'm not as good about posting lately! Christopher is doing great and is walking like a pro on his own. We're looking forward to spending a week at the beach in a couple weeks with Chris' parents, Christopher really likes the beach. We've gone a lot this summer and last time he held our hands and walked right on in the water to his waist!

What a doll... Christopher and his new friend, Andy.

Fascinated by his cousin's doll...

Chris took our nephew Jacob fishing for his birthday, good catch!

Christopher has been up to a lot since I've last updated this site. The biggest thing is that he's now officially a toddler! He's walking for short periods of time alone, but much longer if you hold his hands. He can walk forever if you hold his hands, but alone I think he doubts himself. Below are a few pics from his first birthday party.

He liked his presents. This was a popper from grammy.


He loved being pulled around in his new wagon from grandma.


Here's his cake I made.




His first taste of cake, we discovered he has a real sweet tooth.


Yesterday we got back from going to a conference in D.C. for my work. We did some site seeing and while I was at the conference during the day, Chris & Christopher hung out at the hotel and went in the pool.



Chris & Christopher came down to visit me when I presented my poster. Here are a couple of other students that work for my boss.


Free Haagen-Daaz at the conference, he was in heaven!
