Some Christmas photos...

Here are a few random Christmas pictures. Blogger is still not giving me anything but code in my posts, so I have no clue what's what, and these are totally random, I'm sorry I can't put captions with them!! If you're on FB I put more an explanation with each photo over there. :)











We're doing well. N is growing and learning new things all the time. He's been "talking" up a storm lately, it's so cute!! He loves to just lay there and chat with us now. He's sleeping through the night about half the time. He'll do 11 hours one night, and then get up at 1:30 the next. I do love the full nights of sleep, but it's hard on me not knowing when he'll get up each night.

Well I need to go get some dinner made, I'll try to update again later with more Christmas pictures and more about our Christmas. Hope everyone had a great holiday season!!

Merry Christmas!

Now that all our cards have been mailed out, I thought I'd post it here so everyone can see it. :)




The first official day of Christmas vacation started out much like the Griswald's... I was laying in bed nursing N before 7 this morning and I heard a big loud crashing noise. R had pulled the shower curtain down in the bathroom. Lovely... I wonder if my house will still be standing when I send them back to school in two weeks?

Hope everyone's having a good holiday season so far!!

New pics for my wall

I've been redoing my photo wall a bit. After I put it up in January I decided that I wanted all the photos to be matted, and all black and whites, but I knew I was pregnant then, and I knew I'd want to add new pictures once the baby was born, so I just left it how it was. Well, I'm finally getting around to changing it over, and it's almost done. I've been switching them out slowly and I only have 3 spots left (which look really funny and stick out from the others now). I need a new one of M, and I want one of N with each of the kids. I took two of them today, still need one of N & R, hopefully later this week! I'll post a new picture of the whole thing once it's redone, but I wanted to share the two new pictures I took this afternoon. Of course, Mr. Serious won't smile for me, but he's still cute. :)

Truckers Parade & Santa

Last night we went to the Trucker's Parade. I never realized as a kid what a silly thing it is. Let's all go stand out in the cold (and usually wet) weather and watch a bunch of trucks drive by with lights all over them while they honk Jingle Bells. lol Great fun!!







Today we tracked down Santa so the kids could get their picture taken with him. M just had to ask if Rudolph was real, and Santa assured her he was. :)

3 mo. survey

We did this on my born in September message board, but I thought it'd be fun to post it here too...


How much is baby eating now? Nursing every 2-4 hours during the day

How long is baby sleeping at night now? He did 10 and 11 hours last weekend, but now he's back to 6-7 and then another 3-4 after that.

Where does baby like to nap? In his bouncy seat in the bathroom with the fan on (blocks out the noise from the other kids)

Does baby have a lovey? Not yet, but he's getting a little blankie in his stocking. He's been clutching the burp rags a lot more lately, so I hope he takes well to his blankie!

Is baby holding up his/her head well now? Yep

What seems to be baby's favorite toy right now? He's still mostly into looking around at things, still likes the baby gym and his sassy mobile. He is starting to figure out he has hands, and he likes those. He's taken to sucking on two of his fingers some. He also loves to "stand" on our laps now.

What is baby getting for Christmas? An exersaucer, stacking rings, and a few stocking stuffers... teether, sippy cup, spoons, a couple little toys, bibs, socks...

Anything else you'd like to share? He's not super smiley, the four of us are the only ones who can really get him to smile easily, and I have the hardest time getting him to smile for the camera!!


New pictures below. :)

New Pictures

Sorry, my computer is giving me major problems right now and all I'm seeing is code in this post, so I'm not even going to try to put captions with each photo. I may try to come back and edit this later, but it's not working right tonight. Enjoy the photos!!
