18 Months

It's been a few months since I posted last, and I figured I should probably update before baby #2 makes her appearance. August 10th is the official date for the Little Miss to be welcomed into the world - that's only 2 weeks away! We are very excited and all ready for her to come. Christopher doesn't really understand, and we are curious to see how he will adjust. This could be interesting! I'm sure he will be a great big brother though :)

BUSY BODY - That pretty much sums up Christopher these days! I don't think he sits still for more than 2 seconds at a time! It's been very fun watching him grow and learn new things. He is talking more and more and constantly doing new things. Chris has been helping Christopher with his golf game...it's for sure a work in progress, but Christopher does pretty well putting (when he is paying attention)! He LOVES to be outside exploring. It has been extremely hot here, though, so he doesn't get to be outside as much as he would like.

We will update as soon as we can when baby #2 arrives! Here are some pictures from the past few months.

15 Months

It's been a few months, and we are LONG overdue for a new post! Lots has happened since Christopher's first birthday! I think that most everybody already knows, but just in case - We are expecting baby #2, a girl, in August :) We are very excited!

Christopher has been keeping everyone very busy since he started walking a couple of months ago. He actually officially started walking when Chris and I were on vacation in Miami in February. He was taking a couple of steps at a time before we left and was full-blown walking by the time we got home. Now he is so good at walking that he tries to run most places - especially when he is very excited.

He has been talking a lot more, and his vocabulary now includes mom, dad, thank you (this is the newest and is being said about 1,000 times a day), yeah/yep, ball, dog (sometimes), juice (trying), and more (usually only when referring to snacks!) :) He is like a little person now, and it's so fun to see all of the changes taking place!

He has been growing like a weed lately. He goes for his 15 month check-up next week, but we think he is weighing in at almost 29 pounds with a height of 32 inches, if not more! He has really thinned out, but feels like a solid pile of bricks when you pick him up! He has had several ear infections within the past year, so he will be getting tubes this Friday. We are hoping that they help him out because his ears really seem to always bother him. Keep your fingers crossed that it helps, and we will let you know how it goes!

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!

Christopher's 1st Christmas morning

My new train

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!
