So very tired! This is how I found Carter a little while ago. I put him in his crib because he was fighting sleep. After about 5-1o minutes of crying it was quiet, so I decided to check on him. Poor baby gave up and didn't even lay down first!

Our little chef. She was so excited to help me cook. She must have liked her cooking because she ate very well and wanted more!

Happy Birthday, Gray!

Looking at a photo of himself.

Around 9. It has always been his bedtime. Set by him.

Like Daddy, Like Daughter.

Our new living room furniture seems to have this affect on people.

Bathtime buddies - this night anyway. Sometimes it's bathtime bully with Gabby collecting each and every toy Carter gets his hand on to put back in "her" pile.

LOVES to play the CandyLand game that Santa brought her. Still learning that there are rules to follow and you don't win every time.

Pure joy

How can you not smile when you see such joy in his eyes? I had to play a hard game of peek-a-boo for that laugh!

Reuse: this is a bag full of Carter's baby food containers that I'm going to take to school. I've found some uses for them such as: bingo chip containers and storage for small craft supplies. Lots of people have asked where the plastic boxes are from, so I'm sure I can find these good homes. I know some teachers use the glass ones for different craft projects during the year. What uses have you found for baby food jars/containers?

Sweet baby. 8 months old yesterday.

Princess Gabby-rella

We've been telling Gabby that her name is Gabriella. It always comes out "Gabby-rella" whenever she says it. I love hearing her say it!

playing nice.

Any guesses on why Chad's cell phone is taken apart and laying on the counter?

Jan 4

I'm loving the light in this one. We endured the muddy, empty lot next door for about 10 minutes this evening.

Jan 3

Napping hard this afternoon. Gabby always claims she isn't tired, but once I get her to lay down she falls asleep pretty quickly.

p.s. ....and cutting her thumb a month or two ago only kept her from sucking it for about 2 weeks, then she picked right back up... unfortunately!

I've had this sweater & hat for awhile with the intention of taking Carter's picture in it. I finally put it on for a little mini-shoot. He was not into being a model for me today, and he kept (army) crawling away.

Jan 1

I love that you can see the smile in his eyes and that he's so excited you can't see part of his face because he's waving his arms. I'm sad that he's almost outgrown this baby carrier.

This is going to be a fun year!
