Cousin Time

I love when we get to watch these two! It is amazing they are all starting to play together!

Hannah checked out Andrew's ball pit. 

Playing with Chuck!

The boys about to attack Hannah! :-) She was "hogging" the ball pit!


Climbing through the homemade tunnel.

So adorable!!!
Andrew's turn!
Never a dull moment when we have cousin time!

Outside Time

While we were deciding about selling our house, we made a list of things to fix!  And we tackled it the best we could. 

He loved playing with Ethan's little cozy coup.
 


He even entertained himself with the swing set while we painted the shed.


What a picture face!


So glad he is willing to play with himself at times. Sad we aren't getting the new home, but sure am we got projects done!!! The shed is completely painted, all closets cleaned, an new light fixture is installed, and the one hanging from the kitchen is fixed to name a few. :-)

11 months

Wow! You are almost a 1 year old!!! So sad!  I wish you could stay my baby forever. 


At 11 months:

~You wear size 4 diapers. At night you wear Size 4 Overnight protection.
~ Wearing size12 month and 12-18 month clothing. Starting to be more 12-18 months than 12 months.
~Wearing size 3-4 shoes
~Sleeping. You usually go to bed at 9 pm and wake up around 8 am.You love for us to rock you to sleep. I love it because it is the only time you will cuddle with us.
~Bottle three times a day: 7am, 2pm, 9pm
~Eat 3 meals a day of solids. There isn't anything you won't eat. You love it all. I would say your favorites are  Cheerios and Cheetos.
~ You are eating table food more and more. For dinner, you usually whatever we are eating. For lunch, you like turkey lunchmeat, peas, and cheese. Oh and don't forget your love of CHEERIOS. You can never get enough of them!  
~Napping- You usually take an hour nap in the mornings and a two hour nap in the afternoon on days that we are home in the morning. If not, you take a 2.5 - 3 hour nap in the afternoon
~You strongly dislike your carseat. I can't wait to be able to turn it around. We usually distract you by giving you a snack trap with Cheerios. 
~You are no longer taking Prevacid! Woo Hoo! You still take Zyrtec nightly as well as Motrin. Those front teeth just won't come in!!! You have gotten much much better at taking your medicine like a  big boy!

~ Words: Mama, Dada (your fav), Baba ball, NawNaw (Your version of no. We often hear it during diaper changes and getting in the car), Bye, Bxer (Baxter) You are now trying to repeat words we say now.



Love to play the paci game. You take your paci out of your mouth, and put it in my mouth. Then you take it back out of my mouth. I start to "cry" and you put it back in my mouth.


You love to feed us, especially food you have already tasted.

Love your ball popper. It is a must every night.

You are starting to get curls. 


You have enjoyed some new sweet treats like popcicles in the bath, suckers, and ice cream. 

LOVE LOVE LOVE doors and drawers!!! Which makes for one BIG mess. This was all done while Mommy changed clothes. 


You love your toes and climbing all over mommy. 


You have escaped out the doggie door. You are exploring everywhere now!

You threw your slipper out!... and blamed it on Baxter *taking* it.

Have stood on your own for a few seconds. 

You love tummy raspberries and give huge laughs. 

You are climbing on EVERYTHING!!!
 


LOVE to play Peek A Boo Barn on Daddy's phone

Giving the monkey a kiss. 

 Calling Baxter


Baby boy, you have brought so much laughter in our home. You love you so much!
 

Wagon

Andrew got a wagon from Pawpaw and Gigi.

He was determine to help daddy!

He had fun playing in the box too!

Watching daddy!

Really, Mom??? This boy loves wheels!

Of course we had to take a wagon ride!

Thanks for the wagon! We love it!

New Years Eve

On New Year's Eve, Wes and Shelly had a get together!


Although it was raining, Wes found a way to light fireworks. 

Sparklers!
 

Ethan popping "Poppers"! They were a hit to say the least.

Andrew wanted to be a part of the action so bad! Next year, sweet boy...


It got a little crazy :-)


And some of us got into a little mischief!

But we all had a GREAT time! Thanks for having us!
