a not so white Christmas

This was Oz's first Christmas.

He enjoyed opening gifts more than Ty.

What baby doesn't like paper and the noise it makes?

Grammy got the boys a really cool tool bench.

Although Oz cannot play with it like Ty, he enjoys chewing on the accessories.

Merry Christmas to our two adorable boys.

We are so blessed to have you in our family.

Thanks for making us smile, laugh, and love.

We love you so much!

seven months

I am seven months old and weigh almost 25 pounds. That's right, I am a growing boy. I still wear size 4 diapers, but I now wear 18 month clothing. Mommy and daddy think I will catch up to Ty pretty soon. I smile and laugh a lot, especially when I am tickled. I sit up all by myself and love to play with my nesting cups. I am so lucky to have a big brother who likes sharing his toys with me. I still take three naps a day and sleep better than ever at night; upon occasion, I give mommy a long span (6-8 hours) of rest. I sometimes roar like a lion cub and click my tongue. I prefer to roll to my tummy when placed on my back. I am a happy chunky monkey!

happy turkey day

The boys and I went to Idaho for Thanksgiving for two weeks. It was nice to get away and have a break from doing the daily tasks that come with being a mom of two young boys. Allan was planning to come up the day before Thanksgiving, but instead showed up early Tuesday morning. What a pleasant surprise! I was so happy to see him. I love him with all my heart.

trick-or-treat

Introducing our cute chunky monkey and bright boisterous bat.

We took the boys trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.

Oz slept in the stroller while Ty excitedly went door to door asking for candy.

mmm sucker

Ty loves suckers!

Can you believe Oz weighs 21 lbs. 13 oz. at 5 months?

He is even wearing 12 month clothes.

He is our chunky monkey!
