Water Lover

Christopher loves the bath tub. He would play all day in there if I let him. It's funny. He plays and splashes, not noticing the water gets colder. Then, all of a sudden, he does this very dramatic shiver, looks at me, and begs with his eyes. Whether he's begging to get out or for more water, I'm not sure.

So much fun!!!

Nakey time is the Best!!!

Aww, it's time to get out!!

Christopher's new trick!

Christopher started clapping the other day, especially when he drops a toy from his highchair. He'll look at me and smile and clap. Yes he is adorable.

This is before, while playing.

This is after he dropped it. Now he's clapping.

Arizona Trip

We went to Tucson, AZ for New Years. We left on New Year's Eve, that was different. No celebrating there. We stayed with Wes's sister and her family down there. They blessed their month old baby boy Oliver that Sunday we were down there. It was great to see everyone. Wes's dad and RaeAnn came down from Seattle too. Saturday was a day of play. We took our Christmas marshmallow shooters to the park and had a blast. Grandpa Hall took all the kids our 'shopping' for their Christmas presents. And I personally enjoyed the wonderful warm hot sun the whole time. We left a snow storm behind us and welcomed the 72 degree weather with open arms, T-shirts, and flip flops. It was sad to come home. Fun trip!!!

the pics are kind of in the wrong order


Family picture, we're just missing RaeAnn who was taking it.


Notice how sunny and bright it is, yeah.


Christopher and cousin Idris, a meaningful look.

Grandpa and Christopher. What are they doing, cleanign out his toes?

Jeremy showing me the cactus garden at our pit stop.

SUN, SUN, SUN


At first Christopher wasn't so sure about all the traveling. Love this face.

He did really good though. He slept real well and didn't cry too bad, only when I took my turn driving and he couldn't see me anymore. Mama's boy.

Cute brothers cuddling on the hotel bed. I think Jeremy loved the hotels more than anything else on this trip. ha ha ha

Six Months Old

So, Christopher is six months now. He's such a big boy. He's 17 lbs 11 oz. He has two teeth on the bottom. We love him and just can't get enough of his smiles.


He went under there backwards. Goofy kid!!


"Uh, hello mom"


He can sit up, really, he just was surprised by the camera I think.

Christmas

I know it's late, but here are some things we did at Christmas time.


Jeremy and Santa. "yes, I've been good"

Gingerbread houses at Grandma's.

Christopher in his Santa suit. So cute

Jeremy and cousin Tucker at the library, the Mitten tree.

Let it Snow!!!

Here's my card for this monday's mojo monday sketch. This was a fun experiment. I could have done the snowman better, but I gave up and settled. Hope you like it.

Big Boys

The boys are getting so big and growing up too too fast.

Isn't this sweet? Jeremy just loves this book with all the rhyming. He quotes from it all the time. His favorite line is "I can't blab such blibber blubber, my toungue isn't made of rubber" Dad's the pro with Dr. Suess, though, mommy just can't handle the tounge twisters. I'm glad Christopher is enjoying reading time too.

Do you see the family resemblence?

Here, Christopher and Gwen are getting to know each other better. She just loves climbing into his carseat with him. I wonder what he's thinking, though. Hmmm.

Jeremy was sent home with an outline of a turkey to dress up and bring back. He decided to dress him up as Santa. So, I started helping make the suit and before I knew it Santa Turkey had a sleigh, with runners and bells, and nine reindeer he cut out himself, including Rudolph. He had lots of fun.

We cut hair tonight and Jeremy informed me he wanted a mohawk. Ooookaaay. So, I tried my best, never done that before. Here's the result. Hope he likes it. If not, it'll all come off, buzzed.
