6 Months Old!

Our Christmas in Texas

Since the kids & I are going to Michigan this week, we celebrated our Christmas as a family yesterday! We had a great morning!!

Christmas Baking

Some people wear an apron to bake. Not me! I wear this:

















Yes, someone is a little spoiled.

Uncharted Territory

Landon & Presley are so different in so many ways but especially with their eating habits! We all know that Landon LOVES his food & always has! He asks me for food ALL day long. He will literally get down from eating lunch & ask for more food (after he has eaten a lot!) Now Landon just helps himself...or tries to. So, this was our solution:














Yes, those are straps that hold the doors shut!

Meanwhile, Presley is a little peanut & only weighs 14 lbs, 10 oz which is in the 20-25%. She is 27 " which is in the 95%! (compared to Landon at 6 months & he was 19 lbs 6 oz!)
















I'm hoping solids will help to fatten her up a little & we started them yesterday. So far, it wasn't a huge hit. Why can't they just start 'em out on pureed brownies?

Things That I Love About Texas!

...when the "Ice Cweam" truck comes down the street on a 72 degree day in December! Everyone needs a Dora Popsicle from time to time!!!

Trains, Pains, & Christmas Time!

I had a great idea to start a tradition of doing a Gingerbread House with Landon for Christmas! I was REALLY excited when I saw a Gingerbread Train as I knew that Landon would LOVE it! It seemed like it would be a great tradition...until we started making it. What a PAIN! We had a horrible time getting it to stand up! Hopefully Landon won't want to do one next year!

A Visit With Grandpa & Grandma V!

We had a great week with Grandpa & Grandma! We miss you!!!

Presley's Dedication

We had Presley dedicated at our church on Sunday! We are so thankful to have this beautiful, sweet, & patient little girl in our lives! Grandpa & Grandma V flew in from Michigan for the event! The service was wonderful & we enjoyed spending the day & week together!
