Happy Thanksgiving!
Here is Brian with our turkey. Everything turned out great and we had a wonderful dinner. Hope everyone else had a good Thanksgiving as well.

 

Nap time

This is Charlotte's new Thanksgiving rocking chair. Here she is relaxing and enjoying a nap while JJ and I cook up a storm for dinner tonight.

 

Happy Charlotte

Charlotte's begun smiling on occasion. Brian was being goofy and caught this photo. 

Our Sleepy Girl

Brian had Charlotte to himself much of the afternoon. He took several photos of her and this is one of the cutest ones. 

The Other UT

Charlotte's getting dressed for the big game. 

Hook 'Em

The title says it all... 

Erin Cuts Charlotte's Christening Cake

After a nice lunch with everyone at a local Italian restaurant, we sat down and had some christening cake. This is the first cake Erin has baked for Charlotte, and I suspect it won't be the last. Sadly, Charlotte was asleep, so she didn't get any cake. 

Charlotte's Christening

Charlotte got christened today -- the vicar mentioned that she was the youngest child he's christened. She was good as gold, quiet throughout the service and no complaints as her head was wet. So now she's a bona fide Anglican and much of the Nordaker clan was there to celebrate. 

Erin Helps Charlotte Nap

Charlotte's a good sleeper, but once in a while, she needs help. So Erin donated a few cuddles to the cause. 

Charlotte meets her Cousin Jake

Charlotte has met a cousin -- Jake, the son of Erin's sister Tara. They're over for a week for visits with Charlotte. Charlotte is getting along with Jake pretty well. 

Charlotte's New Friend

Courtesy of Miss Creekmore, Charlotte has discovered a new friend in the nursery. She seems more than a little intrigued by her new cribmate and I think they might be friends for life. 

Erin's New Favorite Photo

Hello everyone. We have a new favorite photo, which is available in 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 prints. Hope you enjoy it. 

Charlotte's First Outing

Charlotte, Erin and I went off this evening for a little celebration in honour of her arrival. So you can see she's been bundled up against the cold. By the way, does she remind anyone of Ralphie's little brother Randy, or is it just Erin and I?

For those who have been asking -- she was born at 8.5 lbs and 20.5 inches -- so just the right size.

Charlotte finds her Happy Place

You'll have to check out the stages of Charlotte's happy place on the web album (link in the right hand sidebar). But you can see here -- Charlotte LOVES her Nanny and PopPop swing! 

Erin and Charlotte

You've been asking for Erin and Charlotte together, so here they are -- Mom and Baby together at last.
