Splish Splash

He's done it... weighing in at 21 pounds 12.5 ounces he's officially too big for the sink.


The swimming lessons encouraged water play which only left us with a sopping wet kitchen, so we've moved bath time to the actual bath now.

Christmas Catch Up #5

After we had a leisurely morning at home. Great Grandma, Grandma, and Pop Pop arrived in the early afternoon for Christmas Dinner. C got another ride along, but we think this one will go outside come spring time so he can help Daddy dig up, oops I mean, plant spring flowers.

It looked like he enjoyed his stocking, and he sure knew what to do with his container of Apple Cinnamon Puffs.

I think the biggest hit was the marshmallow topping on the sweet potatoes, he LOVED it!

Christmas Catch Up #4

Finally, we're caught up to Christmas Day!

We started the day by ourselves. We showed C how to open his gifts, but he seemed more excited by the paper and the packaging. He also enjoyed playing with Daddy's Sharper Image Personal Groomer (nose hair trimmer).

Christmas Catch Up #3

I think C took up an early New Years resolution no more baby food. It's similar to the common adult resolution of a diet. He's so stubborn, but then I can't imagine where he gets that from! Now he will only take a few bites of his pureed food he insists on feeding himself.

mmmmm.... steak!

Christmas Catch Up #2

Many of C's gift from Colorado arrived early, so they could be under the tree on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite make it until Christmas, Daddy was a bit impatient. C received this Lion ride on from his Gamma and Gappa. He doesn't quite know how to work it yet but I'm sure one day soon he'll be roaring all over the house. Right now he appreciates it if you push him around, and will yell with disapproval if you stop.

Christmas Catch Up #1

So much to blog about... so I'll start from the beginning.

On December 19th, C's school put on a Holiday production. The infants of course just attended and looked cute, but I was uber proud to see that he wore his antlers (or are they tree branches?) with a smile. The older children sang, and the 4 year old class even recited a poem.

Merry Christmas

As we get ready to celebrate C's first Christmas, excitement filled the air and anticipation of all the faces and reactions that he will have to all of his Christmas gifts. Toys, clothes, and decorations aside we're just happy that we have our family around us so that we can celebrate it together. The best part is that in January all the other grandparents will be visiting.

Ma ma ma ma

Inside Text:
I love you! Happy Birthday!

Love, C

I got my first birthday card from my son, and it was soo sweet, I just had to share. His newest development just in time for my birthday is Ma ma ma ma, and he can also wave bye bye. Hard to believe that just a year ago I was waiting for his arrival.

Gymboree Day

Saturday we headed up north to meet up with Jenn and baby J, and Carrie and baby B. We all had lunch at Red Robin and then went onto our free class at Gymboree. It was comical to watch the babies interact. Baby B slept mostly, but I think she was just too cozy in her carseat. Baby J is such a little cutie he has expressions that are soo different than my little man, so it was fun to watch.

Here J - I can share my red ballon with you!

My Teeth Hurt!!

mmmmm... coke
(not really, she just likes to chew the glass)

The beginning of the end!

After weeks of practice today he finally took off. Don't mind the lack of blogging I'm probably just chasing him around!

Something Sweet

Well I caved, sometime it's more fun to see his face (Daddy's and C's) than say no.


The front desk at swim class has a jar with lolly pops, Eric asked if he could have it. Sure why not. Here are the pictures of his first introduction to candy. I think he likes it! What do you think?

Swimming

We signed up for Mommy & Me swim class with Anne and Scott, co-creators (parents) of sweet C, AKA Baby Brown. Anyway since we're all feeling better we managed to make it to class. Here is the babies and us in the pool.

The daddies with the babies after class. They got to change into jammies for the ride home, where if their C is anything like our C she was probably asleep as soon as we turned out of the parking lot.

These pictures show how uninterested she is in C. It's quite comical I think.

who is this boy?

MOOOOMMMM ... why is he trying to grab me!

Someone take me home please and stop
sitting me next to this strange smiling boy.
And why is he smiling, what does he know
that I don't?

Hello...

I'm cute!

Health Update

C caused a daycare center Health Update Bulliten. Somehow the little guy got pink eye. Poor thing his eyes were all red and crusty. Amazingly, Eric and I have not gotten it. Of course our family is not the picture of health right now, Eric has a cold, I have a sinus infection and C has pink eye. ugghhh I hope we're all feeling better soon!

Grandpa Dane

Grandpa Dane came for a short visit last weekend. We all had a grand time. He took a ton of pictures and since he took so many I failed to bring out my camera and get a picture of him and C together DOH! He'll be back in about 6 weeks for a visit before they make the move to Israel, I'll make it a point to get more pictures then.
