Oh Christmas Tree! Oh Christmas Tree!

Yesterday the four of us went to Sandy Hollar Tree Farm to perfect tree! The weather was wonderful and we even ended up taking off our coats. We rode in the trailer and the tractor took us up the mountain. We walked through mud and patches of snow. Daddy picked out a beautiful eight foot tree. You loved sitting on the ground and walking around free! Later that night we decorated the tree with Mimi and Pawpaw. You and Dax were adorable in your pajamas. Tonight was another sweet brotherly love moment as you shared a Popsicle. You kept saying "Bite!"  I also have to say you've become quite the momma's boy and you cry if I let you go or if you want to be held! It warms my heart! Love you sweet boy!

Happy Thanksgiving 2013

Beautiful Fall Day With Mom

Today after your nap we went to the Arboretum. It was a beautiful day and we didn't even need our jackets! We walked around and looked at the cool Lego sculptures! ! 

Whoa, you're walking!

Today when I picked you up from Gammy's she told me you walked from the middle of the floor to the recliner!!! Then once we got to the apartment you did a few more times throughout the night! It is so amazing to watch you step out without holding onto anything. I just want to cheer for you every time you take brave steps. It won't be long now until you are chasing your brother and we are chasing you! Let the fun begin!

Pulling An All Nighter

I am in bed praying for a good night's sleep for all! Last night you cried and cried and had a very sleepless night. I held you and every time I tried to put you to bed you were hysterical. I ended up sitting in the recliner with you all night. We could not figure out if it was teething or your tummy bothering you. You would sleep in my arms for a bit and then adjust your position and snooze a bit more.  Then you got upset and wanted down.  When I put you down you had a tantrum and then laid on the floor legs folded, tummy down. That is how you sleep the rest of the night because I was not about to disturb the peace by trying to take you to bed.  I barely moved and didn't raise the recliner afraid of waking you. I hate seeing you in pain and upset.  It's especially hard right now since you can't tell us what's wrong.  It touched my heart how you wanted your mommy.  I love taking care of my boys. Thankfully you had a good day and it is 11:28 pm and so far you are sleeping peacefully. I love you and will always be here for you! Sweet dreams my precious boy!!!    On a side note it is so exciting to watch you walk holding our hands or the furniture. You are standing by yourself without holding on to anything more and more. It won't be long and you will be walking! You love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and clap and move to the music.  On Monday I took you to the doctor for your cough. You had a virus and needed nebulizer treatments. You weigh 23 pounds 12 ounces. You are such a good eater! You love green beans!  You also love to stand at Mimi's piano and play us a tune! You don't bang on the keys but touch them in a purposeful way. After you play you look at us ready for praise and applause.  I can see music in your future! 

Pumpkin Patch 2013

This evening we went to our usual pumpkin patch beside Abernathy Church. Dax loved running around and you enjoyed throwing tiny pumpkins out of the boxes! You also tried to climb the pumpkin stack! It was a fun family moment and we are ready for carving! 

Sick Boy

You were not feeling well today. It's always a sure sign when you don't enjoy bath time. As I cleaned up dinner, Pawpaw help you and you were content. I hope you feel better soon sweet boy!

Goodbye 267 JD Trail

Moving day has arrived! We worked hard all day getting all of our stuff into storage. After 500+ days of being on the market we are excited that our house is selling! It's been a wonderful home. The walls hold special memories, lots of laughter and have welcomed home both our baby boys. We have mixed emotions leaving but know that great things are in our future!

Packing Party

This weekend our dear friends came to help us pack our house. It's hard to believe we will be moving in a month.
