What To Wear, What To Wear?

Winter Bliss

Our little Snow Angel!

Our first child, Sonny, enjoyed the snow too!

Thomas went on his first sledding adventure with Mommy.

This last picture was taken around 10 pm from our living room with no flash.  God is such a beautiful artist!

Well, I Never....

... have seen before what I saw today.

These pictures were taken around lunch time.  Since then, the snow has gotten so much thicker.  I can't wait to bundle up our little snow baby and take more pictures tomorrow.

A Little Under The Weather

We've been a little under the weather. 

Low grade fever, awful cough, runny nose, a tad cranky, and not sleepy too well. 

So, we have been treating with this......

A decongestant, cough suppressant, and antihistamine combo with Tylenol for the fever.

After no improvement and a few loose diapers, we determined there was no cold. But instead needed to start giving these....

Yes sir, we have been facing some teething troubles.  It is amazing to me how in 60 days we can go from zero to almost 7. My dad tells me that if adults had to go through teething pain like babies, they would go crazy.  Poor little Thomas; I hope the worst is behind us.

Our Little Gopher

Inside this sweet mouth...

...lies razor sharp teeth.

These razor sharp teeth can do some damage.

This is one happy little gopher that's always welcome in this house. 

A rail protector has been ordered!
(Please pardon the vegetable medley that is all over Thomas's face.... some meals are just like that.)

What's Been Going On

Days are flying by around here.  Let me fill you in on what we have been doing....

Staying warm. 

It has been icy cold here.  Everywhere we go Thomas wears this hat.  The ladies love it!  His mommaw bought it for him when we were in New York City.

Dancing, dancing, dancing to music.

 This particular Sunday afternoon Brian and I were watching the Bill Gaither Show. Thomas just loved the gospel music.

He turns around to Brian after the song is over and just smiles.

Enjoying our Christmas presents.

Eating bananas.

Thomas LOVES bananas.  Other than DaDa and most recently MaMa, Thomas has started saying nanana. He eats at least three a day (and would eat more if we let him).  They have never upset his stomach and after speaking with a pediatrician friend, I've quit worrying about potassium toxicity.

Getting into everything.

Cabinets, the dishwasher, drawers, and the china cabinet. You really have to keep an eye on him every second.

Going nude.

Oh, how he does not enjoy getting dressed. Sometimes I let him win... for a few seconds anyway.

Playing with friends.

My friend Nicole came to visit and brought her baby boy Aiden. Aiden is 7 months old. He and Thomas are hilarious together.

Have I mentioned that we are into everything these days?

Happy New Year!

Brian and I do this silly picture thing every year.  Before we walk out the door on New Year's Eve he holds the camera out in front of us and snap a picture.  Here's a look back...

New Year's Eve 07'

New Year's Eve 08'

(I think its so funny that we wore the same thing two year's in a row. Honestly, that was my "go-to" NYE shirt -it probably needs to go in the Union Mission pile- and Brian probably isn't wearing the same thing, just same coat :))

New Year's Eve 09'

(it's a good thing I was pregnant, 'cause you all would have seen that same shirt.... haha)

NYE 10'

We went to church for communion and picked up pizza on the way home. Thomas was alseep by 7:15. Brian and I watched Night at The Museum and actually did stay up until midnight this year.

We wanted to whisper "Happy New Year!!" to this sweet boy....
