I Must've Blinked

Well, I blinked and there went December. I had so much going on this month I haven't even had time to blog. I have however been taking a few photos, or at least PBTB has. Some of these are quite overdue, but we will post anyhow.Here is "W" and Daddy the Sunday before Christmas. I stayed up until 1:30 am finishing his Christmas vest so he could wear it to church the next day. "W" rolled over for the first time on Dec. 17, he's so rolly polly and cute.

Here is "W" on his first Christmas morning. Daddy made him his very first baseball bat and a few model fighter prop planes. Mommy made his Christmas jammies. (JH got a pair too, stay tuned for photos) He also received a blanket that mom made, some slippers just like Dad's, a laughing bear, and 2 books (including "Walter, the Farting Dog"

Here is Princess Sue on Christmas morning with her new baby. She also got a "dog that pees", she kept telling santa that is what she wanted. I can't believe that she will be three in a couple of months.

And then, the arrival of the Duke and Duchess with Little Sir (JH), the day after Christmas.

On a final note, "W" went to his 4 month appointment on Thurs, Dec 27th. He weighs 18 lb 1 oz and he is 26 1/4 inches. He is in the 95% or above in height and weight. Where did this kid come from?

"W", aka Squeaker, aka Monkey, aka Pigwidgeon, aka Boy

I had writer's block, but at least a picture is worth a thousand words. Our little baby of many alias's is the light of our life. I have said it before, but I will say it again, "our dangerous little addiction."

He is walking in his mommies footsteps with the thumb sucking. Look at those baby blues!

And this is the ugly bear mom bought me at the dollar store that I love. (Grandma was appalled and had to replace it with a cute one.)Fingers work too.

I will have my cake and eat it too. (This is especially true while I am eating. I like to suck my thumb and my bottle at the same time.)

Double Birthday

Saturday was a double birthday. Little Brother turned 24 and "W" turned 3 months (although he fits in 6-12 month clothing).

Other news that is probably only exciting to me; "W" has now learned to grab his toys and play with them, so cute. I already have my Christmas tree up, now that's impressive.

Thanks Grandma for the cool bomber hat!

Turning Point

It's time.......time to start thinking Christmas! I am so excited. I love Christmas, more than Halloween even. Thanksgiving was great. I am so thankful for all of the blessings in my life. I have more than I deserve. Today, PBTB, "W" and I lounged around and ate leftovers, no black friday shopping for us. Although, we did 80% of our Christmas shopping online at Barnes & Noble. We decided that everyone is getting books this year.

We have been reading a lot lately. A week ago, we read "Train to Potevka", we highly recommend it. PBTB has been reading "The Age of Turbulence" and "Walt Whitman, "Leaves of Grass". I started on the Twilight series just under a month ago, love it. We finished book number three this morning. And then we moved on to re-reading the Harry Potter books. I love days like this when I can just spend time with my husband and baby. Here is a picture of "W" in his outfit to celebrate the birth of the 2007 Christmas season. (Yes, mommy knit his hat)

Hey, Santa!

Yesterday was free Santa Pictures at my store. Santa informed PBTB and I that "W" had been very good. We all got our picture taken and survived the whole ordeal.

"W" is still growing like mad. I don't even want to check how far above the 90th percentile he is now. According to our inaccurate weighing on our own scale, he is around 16 lbs. and we had to move him to size 3 diapers, for all the moms out there who that makes sense to. He is a happy little guy and he loves to snuggle, which works out, because his mommy and daddy do too.

Thank you Aunt Pat for the cute sweater & socks for "W"

Bunnies!

Producing like bunnies! Welcome Carma and Mike to Weblog World.

Hoo Hoo

For those that don't know, I am a Halloween fanatic. That means homemade costumes and a Halloween party every year. This year was the best so far because we had "W" to dress up too. He was an owl and PBTB and I were trees. We spent most of the day preparing amidst the normal new mother routine. I was terrified "W" would have a blowout in his costume, but he was a good baby and spared me.

The night began with giggles and a proud Mommy tree.

And then here's "W" crying while getting his photo taken at my store.

And finally, "W" slept through most of the party, he was exhausted after only stopping once to Trick or Treat.

On a final note, I forgot to mention that we have a new member to add to the Royal blogging family. A round of applause for "Our5People". People meaning children, of course, 2 of which are new twin boys. Hooray for blogging!
