This is FUN!!!

 
Just one of the many new toys he likes playing with! He is getting better at sitting up too, though he really doesn't ever get up on his own.

I'll get you!!!

 
After eating sweet potatoes he decided that he wanted to touch everything!!!

Did you just take that?

 
Here is the look he gave Britt right after she took his food away... not very happy!!!

Forget the Presents...

So as many of you suspected... t was not so much into the unwrapping as he was eating the wrapping. Here is what he thought of his spoils... notice the bow is in his mouth!

Christmas PJs

Funny story, I asked Britt if these were supposed to be for Christmas...
She said,'Yeah, Why?'
I said, 'Oh, I thought they might be Jewish.'
'Huh?'
'Why don't they say 'Merry'? I mean I would say Merry Christmas but Happy Hannuka.'
'Well I say Happy Holidays!'

Homemade Stockings

 
Britt made hers when she was 16, she made mine last year, and finished t's last night; just in time for Santa!

Meet the Family

 
This pic was from our Thanksgiving Drive-A-Thon, leaving Chicago area we stopped by to meet some of Britt's extended family. Pictured with Britt is Hope, one of her dad's first cousins. Hope showed us a ton of family pics, the majority Britt had never seen.

Lemons... Not Good!

 
For the face you would not guess that he liked lemons, but he kept going back for more. I think that he would have eaten the whole thing if we would let him.

T's Hut

 
T loves this box, he will play, in, on, and around it for hours!

Twice A Day

 
So T loves brushing his teeth, hopefully it will always be that way!

Tasty Tags

 
No matter what it is, t will find the tag and chew on it... they must be very tasty!

Calling All Addresses

Send us a comment if you do not think we have you address... we will be mailing out Christmas cards this week. Don't worry we will not post the comment!

Going Private

Everyone, we are going private, we have had too many people try to make random comments and post offensive links. I am not thrilled, but it doesn't seem like a tracker does much, so we will be making the site private next week. If you are a follower or a friend that checks our blog, make sure I have your updated e-mail ASAP! Thanks!

View from Stone Mtn

 
Here is us atop Stone Mtn. I will not bore you with the history, but you will notice ATL in the distance! We had a blast, it was great to get out and hike in the beautiful fall weather! We actually should have been in shorts or at least short sleeves. And to think it is Nov!

Rice Laughter :)

Little t thought that it was so funny not to eat his rice cereal!!!
