Ugh!

So I can't figure out how to do comments on the www.chadandcharissa.com website. But I really like the creativity I get to put into it over this blogspot blog. So I will put links to the new website when I have new posts and try to do short posts here too.

So if anyone knows how to add comments to a blog created in iWeb without uploading to MobileMe please please let me know!

Until I can figure the comments out...

Dimples and Curls Photography

We have a friend at church who does professional photography of babies, kids, and families. She did a photo session for us in the beginning of August. It was amazing! And I highly recommend her especially if you have kids and want incredible pictures of them. Just let me know and I will get you in contact with her or you check out her website dimplesandcurlsphotography.com .

Here are some of the pictures from the session. We actually got about 55 pictures, but here some favorites!

A little walkin'!

Jacob is walking as much as he can, but he gets going too fast and falls down. The most he's done is about 15-20 steps! Sadly we didn't it on video, but here is some video of some shorter distances!

Enjoy!

Rocking Chairs

Chad's parents and my parents both had very similar rocking chairs when we were little. Our parents took pictures of us in the rocking chairs when we were babies. Well, now that we have Jacob and my parents still have that rocking chair we got a picture of him in it.

Here's Chad at about 7 months old...

Here's me around 13-14 months old...

Here's Jacob at 11 months old...

I just thought these were so fun! I should put them in a frame!
