Chanler spent his first Christmas getting to know extended family in Minnesota. He met his Great-Grandma, Great Aunt and Uncle, and lots of cousins. He had a great time being the center of attention to all the people and especially cousin Darren’s two dogs (Kisses and Blanca)
Well it is Chanler’s first Halloween (not my favorite “holiday”) and we dressed him as a cowboy – I found a hat that was too cute to pass up and then Grandma found the piece de resistance – the real cowboy boots.
We had Chanler dedicated tonight at our church (MPPC) by the pastor that leads our couples group (and wants to be Chanler’s adopted grandma) Joanie Tankersley. After we celebrated with family and friends at Buca di Beppo in Palo Alto.
Chanler’s wonderful outfit was made by his Grandmama Hraban, because the one Jesse wanted to get was not available – Isn’t it a cute suit!! and amazingly enough Chanler did not spit up on it until after the service was over =].
During our bible study group tonight, Scott was holding Chanler and randomly broke in to the children’s Sunday school song – “the B. I. B. L. E.” because Chanler was standing on Scott’s bible. Too funny, especially if you know how quiet Scott usually is.
No not really, but this picture was just too cute not to highlight

Chanler gave us his first real (social) smile this week . . . he is SO cute!
Here he is a few days later smiling for the camera
We celebrated Chanler’s one week birthday today with cupcakes and a champagne toast. More pictures here.
Our little star came shooting into the world at 6:11 pm on March 3rd, 2005. He weighed 8 lbs. 4.6 ounces, and was 20.5 inches long, Apgars were 9 and 9.
Chanler and his mom are healthy, doing well, and resting at home.
