9 Months

I don't know how this is but the baby boy of the house is a whole 9 months old. I think it's safe to say that his sister got the sassiness and he got the sweetness, couldn't do without either one around here. This sweet smile that you see in every picture can melt a heart and turn around a bad day in about an instant.
 He has grown so much in the last month! He weighs 21 pounds 6 ounces which is in the 50-75% and is 29 1/4 inches long which is the 75-90% and his head is in the 90% (which means he will be super smart). The doctor reassured us that all is well and he is doing just as he should. She also informed us that he is a bit laid back (or lazy) and will crawl when he is ready. Stationary is just fine by this momma.
He sleeps great at night going to bed at 7 and rising with little chirps at 7am. He takes 2 really good naps a day. He still takes 4 eight ounce bottles a day of formula and has started eating table food. He loves cheerios, pears, yogurt, apple sauce, puffs and baby mum mums but his absolute favorite is macaroni and cheese. He has started picking up his food using his pinchers and playing patty cake.
He LOVES Sophie, his teething bell, the activity gym, to ride in the car, aggravating his sister, to look at the fish and follow Lilly, his ninny and lovies, looking out the window and his absolute favorite thing is a good, long, warm bath (he IS my child).
I love this growing baby boy to pieces.
 
One of my little ducklings.
 
Loves playtime on mommy and daddy's bed, even better with a good plastic spoon to gnaw on.
 
His absolute favorite part of the day. He and his sister would stay in the bath tub and splash each other for hours if we would let them.
 
This is how we find him each night. Gotta have at least 2 lovies and have both directly over the face.
 
Sure sign that this guy is in need of some new jammies.


If I could stop sign I would definitely hit the pause button. If only we could bottle this sweetness up.:)

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas around our house. We had a little girl that started asking about getting her Christmas tree about a month ago so we got an early start this year. Wish I could say the same about shopping and Christmas cards.
 
Can you tell she's proud of her creation? She had a good time making a gingerbread house with her Gigi.

We are leaving tomorrow to go ride the Polar Express in Birmingham, AL. Last night we decided to have a slumber party by the Christmas tree and watch Polar Express. An air matress is not my idea of a comfy slumber but the little girl of the house was tickled pink to sleep by the tree.
 
The Christmas cactus is beginning to bloom right on time. Can anyone spot what should NOT be in the picture. Yep, a bouncy ball found a nice new home.:)

This is what happens when a 2 year old decorates cookies by herself.....a BIG mess. It was worth it though, she had such a good time creating it.
