Kyle's Birthday

We celebrated Kyle's 29th birthday last week!  Thank goodness he will FINALLY be joining me in the 30's next year.  I cooked his favorite dish, chicken enchiladas (the very 1st meal I ever cooked him and won him over!), and we had yummy triple chocolate cake!  On Friday night, the Hammonds kept little Will so we could go out to dinner and celebrate by ourselves.  Happy Birthday Kyle!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

 This item was really on his wish list.....!

More chocolate cake!

Happy Birthday to my amazing husband!  I hope that Will and I made your day special! We love you!

Santa Will!

Grammy and Poppy T bought Will the cutest Santa outfit!  It was perfect for some really cute pictures and for our Christmas card.  Kyle and I looked silly lying in the floor making every possible sound to get Will's attention and to smile for the camera.
Oh, the silly / crazy things you do for a photo op!

 "You mean I get to be Santa Claus?"

Will's 1st Snow!

We were pleasantly surprised to get a few inches of snow before Christmas!  We didn't get a chance to play in the snow, but Will enjoyed watching it through the window!  

He really preferred to just stay warm in his cozy jammies!

Will at 4 months!

I've got to do a better job of posting Will's monthly stats on time!  He's now 11 days away from being five months old and it's hard for me to remember exactly what he was doing at four months.  However, what I do know is that I am so in love with this baby boy that I could just squeeze him!  Someone pinch me!  His smile just melts my heart and I'm in for a world of hurtin' when he gets older!  At his four month checkup, Will got his 2nd round of immunizations.  I'm happy to report that both Will and Mommy did great!  Will hardly seemed to notice.  By the time that he started to cry, the nurse was finished.  I'm proud to say that I did not require any kleenex this time around.  The doctor was slightly concerned about Will's weight because he has dropped from the 13th percentile down to the 5th percentile.  We started him on rice cereal (which he loves!) and we are trying to add in an extra feeding each day.  We will go back at five months to have his weight checked.  Otherwise, he's doing great!  

Thank you God for choosing me to be Will's Mommy!

~Loves his exersaucer and has just now been introduced to his jumper.

(I apologize in advance for all of the pictures!  There were just too many cute ones to choose from!)

I love rice cereal!

Christmas Decor

I had all of the plans in my head of how much fun decorating for Christmas would be this year.  With a new baby, holidays bring on an entire different meaning and I was more excited than ever!  We would turn on the yule logs with Christmas music from OnDemand (thank you, Caroline, for introducing me to that!), have a fun drink and "Christmasy" snacks (you know, sausage balls, etc) and be merry while decorating the house for Christmas as a family.  

Well, it didn't quite work out how I had planned it. Kyle was feeling under the weather and didn't feel like pulling down all of the Christmas decorations. So, we pushed our decorating back a day.  The next day, I wasn't feel too hot either.  But, we both decided that we would go ahead and try to get some of it finished--sans the sausage balls, fun drink and being merry :(  We did get to listen to the yule logs crackling and the Christmas music BRIEFLY...until, guess what? Yep.  The Titans came on TV.  

Oh well, maybe next year :)

You decide.....??

When Will was born, he was a spitting image of his Daddy.  Now that he has a grown a bit, I'm wondering if he is starting to look a little bit like his Mommy?  I don't know...

You decide!
