Makin' a Move???

Have you tried this move lately???

Well, Ford has. Not sure what he is doing but it makes me hurt to look at him.

 

Maybe he's making a move toward crawling???

 Or maybe his momma posed this in hopes that it would encouragement some movement.

 

 He looks pretty happy and content to just sit and observe.

Love this little guy, moving or just sitting....

Santa's Elves Made a Stop

My mom and Aunt Cindy surprised us with a visit last weekend. We got up on Saturday morning to find two little elves in our house. Nano is another one of Olivia's favorite people and she was delighted to wake up and find her Nano ready to play. And that's exactly what they did all weekend, play. Olivia was in heaven. They also babysat so Hays and I could have a rare, silent, enjoyable dinner with friends and dessert with some other friends, wrapped gifts, made Christmas candy and went shopping. They are just awesome and we aren't sure what we would do without them. Thank you, my little elves. Hope to see you back next year.....:)

Spaghetti Night

It is safe to say that spaghetti night was a big hit in the Collins household. Both Olivia and Ford ate a ton and both needed baths directly after supper. Isn't that half the fun of having spaghetti?

 

We haven't found much this little boy doesn't like. When he eats spaghetti or macaroni and cheese he acts like a fat kid in a candy store.....while eating he makes a humming sound like he is just in heaven. Who doesn't like pasta???

 

Poor thing couldn't rake it in fast enough.

Christmas Play Date

I'm sure y'all have caught on by now that Wil Franklin is one of Olivia's favorite people. Well, I arranged a little play date/day for them and we did lots of fun Christmas activities. I had Wil Franklin in the car when I picked Olivia up from school (Mother's Morning Out) and she was beside herself to say the very least.

 

We started the day by beaming at the Snow Village. It was very hard for their little 10 fingers to stay away from the little houses but they did a very good job. They asked to pull the chairs up to it and stood there for at least 10 minutes and came back periodically throughout the day.

Then after a good lunch and afternoon nap we decorated Christmas cookies. As you can see, the whole container of sprinkles went on ONE of Wil Franklin's cookies. That's what makes it fun for them, right?

 

And all the red sprinkles went on Olivia's ONE cookie......I couldn't help but laugh.

 

This is what Buddy Boo did for entertainment while we decorated. Although, I am sure they are entertainment enough for him.....

We also ventured out to the park for the Christmas lights program and then had Mazzio's pizza for supper. It was busy, busy, busy but I wouldn't trade this time with them for anything. We so enjoy having Wil Franklin keep us company.
