Holiday Cheer!

Hi All!
It's been a while since we posted some new pix, sorry!
We had a great Thanksgiving; we hosted at our house ... a potluck deal-io -- NO we're not crazy trying to do it all ourselves. It was YUMMY thanks to the fam! (Check out Hunter's T-giving outfit compliments of Aunt Karen...gobble gobble is on the feet and "Thankful for Mommy" is written next to the turkey!)

Hunter had his 2 mo checkup, was about 13 and 1/2 lbs! He's growing so fast and is so smiley! And has started cooing now!

He's not quite sleeping thru the night totally... he sleeps after his bath from 7:30 till 2:30... (So yes, Charlie and I can take a breath in the evenings... but waking up at 2 or 3 is till rough!) .....EXCEPT last nite I was able to pacify until 5 am... hope that can work again other nights -- if we just make sure he gets his feedings in the during the day! (Looking at his pictures, you can tell that he eats WELL... he will *not* waste away if he can skip that middle of the nite feeding...)

Oh! And the girls, Hunter's cousins, (Kelsey-4 and Lauren-7) got to see him while they were in town visiting! They agree with us: they think the baby is CUTE!

Oh yes, and we went to Picture People for a family portrait right around Hunter's 2 mo mark... and it went well! My former student, Di, took the picture and did a great job! :) (I have scanned them in here...)

This weekend we're going to get our tree and decorate the house... will post those pix next week!

BTW, if you're local... I am on maternity leave until Jan 7th and so I would love visitors to see our little guy if you're able to pop in! :) Please gimme a shout via email or phone: 703-327-2494.

Love to all...
Charlie, Krista, and Hunter
p.s.
I visited co-workers and my students 2 weeks ago and it was great! Colleagues oooooohed and awwwwwed over Hunter and students were so sweet... my sub, Sherry, is doing a great job so I don't even worry AT ALL! I might pop over for another visit soon before Xmas.
