What the lizard says
Feb 6, 2010I’ve seen Charlie on three separate trips. The first time, he was still a tiny intubated n’ incubated preemie at the hospital, surrounded by plastic casing and a configuration of lifesaving instruments. He was [really] cute then – usually in the case of cute things, studies show the smaller, the cuter (can we say a. “teacup dogs” b. “MINI PIGS?”), but if Charlie’s mastered one thing at this age it’s taking critics’ names and beating the odds. He’s still the same baby, just less miniature and with some added flab, boobs (man + boobs = moobs; baby + boobs = boobs).

CHAR SAY WHA?
This is the first time we met him out of the hospital.
(caption “lyk wut are u doing 2 my face?” also, look at Danny and Kendall’s beautiful home.)
My dad and Charlie really connected that trip.
Straight out of the Modern Family “Lion King” scene.
TRIP NUMERO 2. These were taken last week.
Well, that’s about all the best photos I’ve taken of Charlie. There’s a whole other album from the day before we left, but that one is being saved to be on its own..

very cute
Let it be known that this baby is officially the cutest baby that ever existed. I think my love is officially used up for today on these photos. LOVELOVELOVE. Ugh. I die. Seriously.
That “charlie face la 2″ picture? It’s the most beautiful picture of a baby I’ve ever seen. The eyes, the eyelashes. That mouth. I don’t know who he’s looking at, but he’s in luuuuv. Your family is lucky to have such a talented and loving documentarian.
He is so gorgeous!!
100% agreed with everyone above. And, really, I don’t promiscuously ooh and ahh over every baby I see but, seriously, Charlie is BEYOND adorable. He’s already got so much personality.
SO cute!
What a cute baby :-D
I love the one with your Dad, and the ones with him in the blue striped jumper.
Good to see Charlie is home and doing well. I’ve followed his story for months when he was still in the hospital, etc. Thanks for the pictures.
too cute!
and awesome photographs! the lighting is great!
Ah, Spencer. I just have to keep saying it.
You ARE a photographer. You just are.
Seriously cute. He actually POSES for the pictures! haha! nice…
Sent here by Danny, and had to say holy @*$#^! Spencer, you’re one talented photographer. Truly fantastic. Enough to justify implied cursing. The good and impressed kind.
Darling Spencer, I am the luckiest mother/aunt in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! Your pictures are just incredible and — the Jewish mother’s highest compliment — they do my baby’s cuteness justice! Your adoring Aunt
Great pictures! He is just so dang cute (and I’m an authority on cute babies since mine is waaaay cute)!
Cute photo. So, honest. Did your dad sing to him
“Choo Choo Charlie had a pretty good band”?
or…. is that just a bad joke?
(multiple answers are possible)
you have a natural gift with photography- your images are not just beautiful but more important interesting. I am curious- are all these shot with the kit lens that came with your camera?
No, most of these were with a 50mm 1.4. Thank you!
