The Green Ball

A couple days ago, Christopher brought the green ball up from the basement (it's the bender ball!) and now he won't let it go. It's all of a sudden his favorite. Now he's eaten with it and slept with it. I think stuffed animals are easier to deal with not letting go than a big green ball! It's pretty funny!

Toddler

"AHHH...MOM, THE DIET COKE IS GONE!"

Here's Cman dancing around, taking a sip of water every now and then. I'm so excited for the little guy, he's doing so well at daycare. He's currently in the infant room and that goes until he is 16 months, then he'll go to the toddler room . One of the ladies, Lori, that works in the toddler room has been grabbing Christopher when they have activities, like playing outside, circle time, things like that, and letting Christopher get in on it. She says he is doing really well with the older kids and she can't wait for him to come on over to her room. That's pretty exciting, a huge step in his world. Not a baby anymore...no more crib, no more high chair, nuk only at nap time!

The Big Easy

The Big Easy...that's the name of the oil-less infared turkey fryer that Chadd used today on this beautiful Sunday afternoon while I was at work.


Ashly and Christopher enjoying a what???? A pickle!!!!

There's the Big Easy.

The proud cook!!!

Looking good!

The finished product.

Look at that bird!!! Chadd took the wings off (we didn't want it to fly away!)

Wagon

This is the wagon I bought Christopher for his birthday. It's fun to push and pull, but it's even more fun to sit in!

Haircut?

So here's the question...is it time for a haircut yet? He has never had his hair cut and I just don't know if I'm ready yet. People have told me it's time. And my deal is I only like short hair cuts on boys and I plan on keeping his short and clean cut (until I no longer have a say in it), so why is it that I don't want to get his hair cut??? I still have some time, right??? Oh well, it's only hair.
I guess it's the milestone that I'm not ready for. He's getting so big so fast!

Tools

Here's some pictures of Ashly playing with Christopher and some of his tools!

Food is messy!

I was so excited all year to be done with bottles. I told myself it'll be so nice when I don't have to deal with washing a million bottles a day. What was I thinking??? Food is so much more work! FOOD IS MESSY!!! Messy food on the face, in the hair, on the walls, on the floor. Just another day...

Ashly and Christohper are buddies. Ashly rocked Christopher to sleep on Friday and Saturday night. On Saturday night, she was in his room for a long time so I thought I would check on them and they were both fast asleep in the rocking chair!

Another fun new thing. The last couple nights I get up when Christopher is crying in the middle of the night and he manages to get his foot stuck in the railing of the crib in his sleep...ABOVE THE BUMPERS!!! The bumpers serve a very good purpose, but they don't go up all the way to the top of the crib, and no one would have thought they should. Christopher is high maintenance! It's fine, who really likes to sleep through the whole night without getting up anyways. He's just keeping me in my place!!!
