Meeting with Santa


I bravely took both kids into the mall with me today to meet Santa. Andrew was wondering who in the world this guy was with all that white hair on his face.

Notice anyone missing? Yep, Lillian threw a fit and wouldn't go near him, so she stuck close to the stroller...so much for my idea of a cute picture of my kids with Santa...at least I did get Andrew's!

Fun Weekend









We all had a fun weekend! We left Saturday morning heading to East Texas where my Mom and sister, Katy and her husband Clay met us in Crockett. They took the kids on in our van to my Mom's house while Brandon and I took Mom's car to Huntsville. We got to witness a really good game between Texas State and Sam Houston. It was back and forth the whole time and after a nail-biting overtime, the Bobcats won! The Texas State Bobcats are the Southland Conference Champions and are headed to the playoffs. It was really nice being able to watch the game without the kids for once and just get away on our own. We even had dinner there before we left. That doesn't happen very often. I'm so glad Mom was able to watch them for us.

While we were at the game, Lillian and Andrew kept Mom, Katy, and Clay busy. They were playing all afternoon! Lillian loves her new "Ho, Ho, Ho" book from Grandma. Tory came late that evening and so we got to meet her puppy, Eli for the first time. Lillian loves Eli! She wanted to hold him all the time, but poor Eli is scared of Lillian since she does hold him a little roughly. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Lillian's 2 year old School Pictures

I just scanned and added Lillian's school pictures to her website if you want to check them out. They turned out really cute. The link is on the left side of my blog.

Andrew is 9 months!


Go to Andrew's website...there is a link on the left of my blog page. I updated his growth chart. He is now in the 75 percentile for weight and the 45 percentile for height and not listed is his head...finally in the 55 percentile after always being 20 and below. I also wrote a new journal entry and added new photos to his 9th month album and to his 9 months old today album. Enjoy!

1sts for Andrew

Andrew is growing and growing and although he still refuses to crawl, he has had a few firsts for the past couple of weeks. The first one is using a sippy cup! He kept grabbing and grabbing for Lillians lately, so last week, I put some water in a small one and he took straight to it! He wants it with each meal now and loves it! I was surprised because Lillian didn't really like them at first.



The other first is riding in his "big boy" car seat. I have been waiting on putting him in it because we had put it in Brandon's truck as a spare for just taking Lillian around and he still fit in his infant seat, so I just waited. Well, he is getting really big now and I decided it was time to move on. Wal-Mart had baby week last week and carseats were on sale, so I bought an extra one so we could keep on in Brandon's truck. This weekend, Andrew rode for the first time in his new seat and has done fine. He has slept in it several times already!

Just Being Kids



I caught my babies in the act these past couple of days doing things I remember doing as a small child. Andrew is so upset about not crawling, he is trying to get into things in other ways...I caught him in his walker, pulling pans out of an open cabinet! He was determined and pulled a metal bowl out to bang around. Lillian has started putting on our shoes and walking around like she is an adult! These are the fun things about being around them so much and seeing them just being kids.



We went to the gym and then to Old Navy this morning and I actually got a picture of them together before we left when I sat Andrew by Lillian so I could put on my shoes. That is a rare occasion as Lillian usually runs away as soon as I put Andrew by her. I also have a picture of Lillian's new favorite ball she had to have at Old Navy. She brought me the camera still out from this morning wanting me to take a picture of her with it! :)
