Charlie's Here!

Well, looks like we'll have to come up with a new name for the blog. Charlie Merrick Keel was born at 3:23 pm on August 7th, 2009. He weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce, and was 18.5 inches long. Everything was as good as you could hope in a birth, and him and his mom are both doing very well.

So before I get to the pictures I guess I'll mention some interesting things about him. First off, his nickname is officially "Squeaker", since when he whimpers and cries it just sounds like squeaking. The pediatrician that checked him out said that when he does the normal checkups, sometimes something in particular stands out. He said that he was very surprised by how strong Charlie was! He likes to turn his head and look at whoever is doing the talking. He actually like to move his head around a lot, and he's strong enough to hold it up for a few seconds. He eats really good when we can keep him from falling asleep. And that's all I can think about for now, so on to the pictures:


Right after he was born. He was pretty angry.


Opening his eyes for the first time.



Waiting for his checkup and bath.



He passes the time by sucking on his fingers.



Josh meets his baby brother for the first time.



He pointed out his eyes, nose, and mouth then proceeded to say "It's a baby dinosaur!"



Who do you think he looks like?

Birthday pics coming soon...

Joshie had his 2nd birthday party last Sunday. We took a few pictures that I can put up, but for now you'll have to settle for this:

Dramatic Chipmunk

Apparently this video has been around for quite a while now, but I only just found it. It's called "Dramatic Chipmunk" and it's only 5 seconds long, but me and Liz were laughing out loud. Be sure you have the sound up, cause that's half the fun.

The Keels visit

Grammy Jo, Bampa, and Doozie all came and stayed with us over the 3 day weekend. They got to see the new house for the first time and also got to see Joshie in his element. We had lots of fun going out on the town during the day then coming home and watching movies at night. Every morning Josh would wake up before everyone else. When we'd go in to get him he'd ask "Where Bapa? Where Yetzi?" Here are a few pictures.

We went to the mall and had lots of fun. Bampa kind of spoiled Joshie. Sorry the picture's blurry.


Josh loved the escalators. I think we all took a turn going up and down with him.


Later we went to the park since Bampa wasn't allowed to go sledding. So we pulled Joshie around.


...and Grammy Jo


The Utahns. This is a view of the back of our house from the park.


Are you ready for some football!!!

Catch-Up Pictures

Here are some pictures we've taken over the past couple months. Unfortunately, our camera is looking like it's going to stop working any day now. It's becoming more and more fussy, and the pictures more and more crappy. If we have to replace it we might not be able to afford to for a few months.

He's a happy boy


We fell asleep right before his bed time
