Christmas in pictures

What a blessed time.  We are a lucky family.  Christmas 2010 was filled with smiles, tears (on almost everyone's part), naps, wakefulness (TR), encouragement, gifts, movies, free babysitting, fireside chats, trivia, coffee, dessert, dancing, champagne, reading, music, technology, wine, togetherness, joy & laughter.  One we won't soon forget.  Thanks to all who made it so special. :-)

6 Months Old!

Was almost a month ago.  I've gotta get better about this... 

Here's the stats for TR's 6th month!

Weight: 17lbs 14oz - 65%
Length: 27.75 in - 90%
Head circumference: 17.5 - 75%

• Sitting up unsupported!  A little wobbly at times, but sat up on his own @ 5.5 months
• Eating solid foods!  First food was mashed up avocado - wasn't too keen on it
• Next food - sweet potato - hated it with a passion
• After Thad - banana- Rocked his world! 
• All in all, a great eater.  Pretty much eats anything you put in front of him - pretty sure he gets that from his mom
• Happiest little guy you've ever met
• Still loving the office i.e. circle of neglect
• Loves a little wooden ring we call the "lion wheel"...long story
• Although he doesn't get to watch tv, his eyes are immediately drawn to it if it's on
• Sleeping 12 hours a night - 6:30-6:30 = AMAZING
• Wearing size 9mo clothing
• Growing out of everything left & right
• Rolling everywhere
• Taking 3 naps a day for the most part
• Fave book: Brown Bear Brown Bear What do you See?
• LOVES bathtime & bathtoys now that he can sit up
• Just loving life in general and it's awesome to watch

'Tis the Season

For the obligatory Santa Picture!  Thad was amazing and just sat and smiled like the perfect angel he is.  I was actually a little disappointed we don't have a picture of him completely losing his mind on Santa's lap, like the majority of the kids Santa pictures I see.  :-)

All smiles...

Snickers anyone?

Love this happy little dance biscuit.  His happiness is infectious and we are eating up every minute!
