Christmas Eve

Hey Mom, (and everyone else!)  Since we could not be with you this Christmas, we just wanted to share with you... here are the main events!

What Grandkids we could get to sit still long enough for a pic with their Chrismas PJ's!

Arlo's 1st Christmas Eve!

Arlo's 1st present!

The Real Santa Claus

Arlo loved Santa!  He wanted to grab his beard so Santa put him on the naughty list, but because he was the cutest reindeer he had ever seen, he took him off the naughty list and put him back on the nice list!

Dear Mommy,

Dear mommy,
I have been trying my best the past few days to teach you a few things about me, I think you have learned through these experiences but just incase you've forgot, lets recap...


1.  Do not ever doubt my eating skills ever again.  When at one feeding I can chow down a serving of beans, a serving of carrots, 2 strawberries, 2 servings of peaches, 2 crackers and a handful of cheerios.  I will admit that I might of fed Bronco a few cheerios, but I definitely ate the rest!

2.  Do not forget to tell my babysitter even the littlest of details about what I am capable of!  I have been trying to climb those stairs for a few days and you didn't tell her... so today I showed her and I got to the 3rd stair before she even noticed!  I am so talented!!


3.  Do not turn off Sesame Street until I tell you that you can.  Even if it might not look like I am watching it... I might want to watch it when I take a break.  In other words, I am the boss!


4.  Do not tell me when I am going to do things.  Today when I showed you that I can pull up on the couch and then let go and stayed standing... well that was your warning.  You tell me not to walk till after a year, but I will walk when I want to walk whether you like it or not!


5.  You need to baby proof!!!!  In case you are wondering how I get from one side of the room to the other in the blink of an eye... well I am crawling.  Usually when a baby begins to crawl, their parents baby proof the house, well I have been crawling for a few weeks now and I can still find all sorts of trouble to get in so... baby proof NOW!!!!

Hopefully this helps!
Love,
Arlo

Merry Christmas!!

Tim, Arlo, Aunt Niki, Cousin Lani, and I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas!! Now we worked a long time to get this all coordinated so enjoy!!!

Family Pics... Incase you don't get our Christmas Card!

Thanksgiving and Baby Update... of course!

I want to start this blog off by letting everyone know what I am thankful for this year!

Most of all I am thankful for my Heavenly Father who loves me and I know He loves me because He has blessed my life so completely! I am thankful for a husband who I love more than anything. I am thankful for a child who brings such joy to my life. I am thankful for our jobs, our home, our friends and our family!

As for my child and his update, well I just can't believe all that he is doing now. It was like one day he was stuck wherever I put him and now... he is sitting up, crawling, pulling himself up and eating (a little bit and very picky) but still he is eating! So here are some picks to show off my little man! ENJOY!!!!!

The first time Arlo ate a food that he liked! He is just like his mom!!!

Crawling

So my little guy started crawling today! He's been scooting around (which looks a lot like the worm) for a few weeks now but yesterday he actually moved his arms with his legs two times. And today it was more like five and then the worm... then five hand and leg movements... then the worm... and on and on. I am just so proud of my baby. I wish it wasn't so early, but it is... so I am a one proud mama!!!!!!

This video is about 1 week after... from the 1st blogging about it!
