Splish Splash I was takin' a Bath!

Channing took his first bath in a bath ring tonight. We filled the bath half full and added some baby bubbles. At first he was grabbing at the faucet trying to catch the water while it filled the bath tub. It was too cute.

He also likes to chew on his cup. He fishes it out of the water and tries to drink the water out of it. He's just starting to get use to having water on his face, but so far he's handling it like a champ.

We are having so much fun with these new experiences. Channing is such a happy baby and these are such exciting times. Everyday he does something new and we are so grateful for such a happy healthy baby.

Grammy's Trip

Grammy and Mammaw came to visit us for a week or so to see Mr. Channing and help us out with our move. Grammy hadn't seen the little man since he was 3 weeks old and it was Mammaw's first time to meet him. He's gotten so big since then and it was a fun visit.

Channing started sitting up on his own while they were here. He's still a bit wobbly and he can't really catch himself once he gets past a certain point, but it's a starting point.

His Grammy was so excited to see him. They were able to play and visit all day for quite a few days and I know she was super sad to have to leave the little man.

This is a great picture of four generations of CJ's family. We really enjoyed their visit and can't wait until they can come see us again!

Our First Easter

We celebrated our first Easter this year. We had so much fun with Channing an his first Easter basket. Will and Lenora were also here t celebrate with us and we enjoyed having them with us very much. Chan Chan was very eager to see what the Easter Bunny brough him.

He got some awesome new shades and some hand knitted Easter eggs from CJ's grandmother.

Channing also got some baby crocs, which he promptly put in his mouth to chew on. He got some new pacifiers and a hand woven bunny.

As you can see, he was all about getting to his Easter goodies. He was grunting until he was able to gt his chubby little hands on anything in the basket.

This is the Easter Bunny that Lenora and Will got him. They also got him a Peter Rabbit book to go with it. It was a great first holiday and we can't wait for next year.

Fun at the Circus

So we decided to take Channing to the circus when it came to town. I think it was more for us, but the baby was a great excuse to go. He liked the bright lights and the colors, but other than that I don't think he cared one way or the other. They wouldn't let us take him on an elephant or camel ride, but we had plenty of fun nonetheless. We did get this great picture with one of the clowns though.......
