Chub

I can't get enough of this happy little guy's chubby legs. I just love them!

"Elise" Navidad

Elise's school had their Christmas program earlier this week, and she was definitely the star of the Kindergarten program. The entire Kindergarten sang a song all about her, "Elise" Navidad. If you don't believe me then just ask Elise and she will tell you all about it. I have actually since convinced her that they were not singing Elise Navidad, but that"Feliz Navidad" is Spanish for Merry Christmas. Maybe I should have let her go on thinking it was a song all about her though. I thought it was kind of cute that way.

Dear Santa...

Last week the kids wrote their annual letters to Santa. They throw them in the fire where the pieces fly away to the North Pole and Santa puts them back together. So, we of course had to take pictures of the letters for memories sake.
Elise's letter (notice she is very chatty even in letters. Chris kept saying, "Alright Elise, enough chit chat, lets cut to the chase. What do you want?":

Steven's letter:

Cameron's letter (for some reason I couldn't get these pictures to face the right direction. Oh well!)

Sleepy Boy!

Cameron has this little jumper chair that hangs in the doorway and he just loves it. The other day I put him in it while I was making dinner and when I turned around he had fallen asleep in it. What's a tired boy to do?

Thanksgiving Day Zoo Trip

For Thanksgiving this year Chris' side of the family was all in Utah and my side of the family decided to do Thanksgiving on Friday instead of Thursday. So, for the first time since we have been married we found ourselves with no scheduled place to be on actual Thanksgiving Day. We decided to take the kids to the zoo and come home and do dinner afterwards, and it turned out to be a fun day. The zoo wasn't too crowded and the kids loved it. I don't have one picture of Steven looking at the camera because he wouldn't look away from the animals. He was seriously fascinated! Cameron rode around in the stroller for hours happy as a clam. He was so quiet I kept thinking he must for sure be asleep,but everytime I looked at him he was awake and just hanging out. It was really a lot of fun!

Thanksgiving Program

The Kindergarteners at Elise's school put on a fun Thanksgiving program. Doesn't Elise make a cute pilgrim?

Pure Joy

I love this picture of Steven. He has a look of such joy on his face, and the cute gap between his teeth makes me laugh. This might be one to frame so I can look at it when he is being a stinker!

6 Months

Where has the time gone? I can't believe this little guy is 6 months already! He is such a sweet and happy baby. He has a very mellow personality. He definitley likes attention and likes to be held, and will talk and coo away to anyone in sight. Here are some facts about Cameron at six months:

1. He has been rolling over for several weeks now.

2. He likes to suck on his toes. It cracks me up!

3. He weighs over 20 pounds. His six month check up is still a week away so I don't have the exact stats, but at 5 1/2 months when I took him to the doctor he was just about 20 lbs exactly.

4. He is a very smiley little guy.

5. He can balance while sitting for very short periods of time so he can't be too far from sitting well by himself.

6. He is not a fan of naps. He often only naps twice a day for about 1/2 an hour each time. It's a good thing he is happy or this might really do me in!

7. He loves to sit in his exersaucer, and will sit in it for an hour or more (once again, this is a very good thing due to his lack of napping).

8. He has the best laugh ever. You just have to hear it, I can't describe it, but I love it!

9. He is VERY ticklish.

10. He is fascinated with his older siblings and loves to watch them.
