1 Year Old

Happy birthday, Christopher! Time really flies - we can't believe that it's been one year already! We've been pretty busy the past couple of months. We enjoyed a 10 day visit in NY in December, and Christopher was able to experience a white Christmas :) He was even able to go for a sled ride in the snow!

He isn't walking quite yet, but we're pretty sure it will be coming VERY soon! He is excellent at cruising around holding onto furniture, and is getting braver and letting go more often, but no steps yet. Daycare said that he did take one little step on his own, but we have yet to see it. He keeps himself VERY busy, and I don't think there is anything left in our house that he hasn't found and ripped apart!

What's all the excitement about, and what is this thing on my head?

Birthday cake? Not too bad...

Getting a little more brave....

Is this what I'm supposed to do with it?

This stuff tastes pretty good! I need to stretch my belly!

Time for a bath!

We were very intrigued by the Christmas tree. We touched every light, took off as many ornaments as we could reach, and even tried to hang a couple of our baby bottles on there after finishing them :)

Getting pretty good at cruising around on the furniture!

Merry Christmas!

10 Months

Happy 10 months to Christopher!

So many new things have happened in the last couple of months. We have started crawling, and our new hobby is pulling ourselves up on anything that we can hold on to :) He thinks he's a big shot when he does it and kind of looks at you with this satisfied little grin. It's pretty cute, but it does make me a little nervous because he is a little wobbly! He still has quite the appetite and also has a new favorite food - cheese quesadillas...yummy! We took him to the park for the first time, and he absolutely loves the swings.

We've booked out trip home for Christmas and will be home for about 10 days - can't wait to see everyone!

8 Months

Happy 8 months to Christopher! We've had a busy couple of months since school has started, and Christopher has adjusted very well to going to the babysitter during the week. He has 4 little teeth now- 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. From the way he's been waking up during the night, I'm thinking there are some more on the way...the poor little guy has had a rough time with his teeth so far :( He gets lots of frozen fruit treats to help though - he loves his frozen watermelon, pears, cantaloupe and bananas. He also has definitely found his voice and likes to make all sorts of noises. We especially hear those noises when he would like more food - cereal puffs are his fav right now, and if you let him he would probably shove a whole handful in his mouth at one time!

Long morning of jumping in the Jumparoo

6 Months

The little guy has officially been on the earth for 6 months! He is growing up quickly and getting bigger by the day. His first tooth came in about 2 weeks ago, and there's another one in the works! I started back to work last week, so he spent his first couple days with the babysitter and did great...what a relief! Needless to say, we have been very busy around here!

First time in the pool!
