Baby's First Christmas!

Well Blake's first Christmas was a huge success. He had a ridiculous amount of gifts, I think he officially owns every Fisher price toy for his age range. He got a ton of books which are his favorite thing. This was our best Christmas ever and I never thought I would be one who would not care about opening gifts for myself but I only wanted to watch my child enjoy all that Christmas has to offer. Here is Blake's Christmas in pictures....

His Santa outfit to deliver the gifts to the neighbors.
Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix and Homemade marshmallows for the neighbors.
He was in a much better mood when we got home.

Christmas Eve trying to open a gift.

Christmas Morning Begins, what a cute hiney!

A boy who loves his Daddy.

Santa does what now????

Just tuckered out from all the festivities.

Which makes me think of this gift that I got for the Hubs, so sweet!

Holding his Charlie Brown stocking I made for him.

This outfit was just too cute not to take pictures of, he got a ton of babyGap gifts.

Christmas Dinner outfit, he looks like such a grown up little boy in this outfit.

For Christmas dinner he had delicious organic oatmeal cereal.

He ended the night dancing around with his Aunt Rachael.

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope it was as wonderful for you as it was for us!

Lights, camera maybe!

We headed to Dorothy B Oven tonight to let Blakey see the christmas light display. It was cold, and wintery like it should be and my sister met us out there and added to the fun. I brought my new camera and soon found out the combination of night, and lights make for novice photographs. Here are a couple I love anyway...

He was enjoying the lights.

Moments like these I love the most, catching sweet father son moments.

Over it!

An Early Christmas Gift!

I got an early Christmas gift from my husband, a new camera! A fancy camera, a

Canon Rebel EOS T1i. I got it last night when I guilted my husband into giving it to me because he gave me a cold, and I didn't feel good. Needless to say I spent all day taking pictures mostly of.. you guessed it, Blake. Here are some of my favorites, mind you I have no idea what I am doing and have never used a "big" camera before.

He is so his father!
He was yelling at me!

5 months!

He is almost half a year old, I can't believe it!

Blake at 5 months....

1. Sits up unassisted for minutes at a time.

2. Eats organic rice cereal for dinner every night.

3. Loves to sleep in between his mommy and daddy, and often stretches out an arm to rub his Mommy's arm just to be sure she is still there

4. Sits just like his daddy with one arm out and always looking very relaxed and laid back

5. Still loves to hear himself yell

6. Very rarely cries only if tired or hungry

7. Still teething but no teeth YET

8. Has instituted a strict schedule

*Up at 6:45 -7 am

*Nap at 9 - 10:00

*Nap at 12:30- 2:30

*Third nap sometimes around 5 (takes it or leaves it)

*Bath and bed around 7:00 - 7:30

9. Jibber jabbers all day long

10.Loves books, loves to read them, hold them, chew on them all of the above

11. Loves any animation like Shrek, Madagascar, etc

12. Loves to flirt with ladies by smiling and smirking

13. Scrunches his nose a lot when he smiles

This is what happens in his bumbo, spit up! He hardly fits in it anymore.

Blake Singing (kind of)...

Blake and I were checking out one of our friend's blogs and this song came on and he just started singing/yelling at the computer. Later that night I pulled up the song on you tube and this is what occured....

P.S. I promise my kid wears clothes but this was right before bath time and if he spits up on something before bath time I don't bother putting new clothes on him
