welcome home, kelse!

Senior Airman (soon-to-be Staff Sergeant) Charron is home, safe and sound, from her 5-month deployment to Balad, Iraq!

















Before October 8, Hamilton had only seen Auntie Kelse via Skype.

He dressed appropriately in his baby BDUs to meet her in person for the first time.

Kelsey plans on dishing out plenty of kisses before she heads back to Dover, Delaware next week.









While she was away, she made bracelets out of parachute cord for the entire family. Hamilton's is especially cute (and tiny), measuring about as big around as a quarter!

2 months old!

Hamilton turned 2 months old on
October 1.






















He weighed 12 lbs. 4 oz. and measured 23" long at his 2-month checkup.











Besides cooing, ooh-ing, aah-ing, staring at black and white objects, responding to our voices, focusing on faces, smiling, and working on his laugh, Hamilton loves...











taking showers,


eating his towel...or any item of clothing that brushes up against his mouth,










taking naps with Daddy,













going places, especially with his Wubbanub pacifier,











the Moby Wrap,













the zoo,













kisses,













yawning, and...













snuggling with Mama.
