Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so much fun this year.  I was super excited to have Chris experience it for the first time!

My mom goes all out with the table :)

And we go all out with the appetizers :)

As you can see with the fruit turkey.  Thanks for the fun Michele :)

Just hanging out with Katelyn before the big meal

He was soo excited to eat his first Thanksgiving meal

Getting all ready in his chair :)

Looks...

and tastes delicious!!!

I love his squirrel cheeks when he eats :)

It was such an amazing day.  Thanks mom for making this such a great first Thanksgiving for Christopher!

11 Months Old

I can't believe my silly little guy is 11 months old.  Man how time flies.  He is getting such a personality!!  I just wish time would hold still.  He can't turn 1 yet :)

Happy Halloween

I couldn't decide what to dress Chris up as for Halloween and keep with in a budget.  My sweet sister gave me a dalmation costume that was soo cute...but Chris HATED it :)  It was only a week from Halloween and she gave another suggestion...

I think he makes a dang cute Charlie Brown!!  Thanks Nan for the amazing idea!

He went trick or treating around Zach's work, and to all the Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles.  He loved every minute of it!

9 and 10 months old!!

I am about the worst blogger out there.  Sorry I am soo far behind :(

My little guy is getting so big!  I can't believe how fast he is growing and learning.

Fun Pictures

I thought I would just post some fun pictures of Chris :)
These pictures are out of order in age and date.  I was just looking through all my picts and wanted to post these :)

His first time in his new bouncer :)  Zach found it at a garage sale for a steal :)  If you can see, there are things that hang above him, the toy in front of him spins, and there are toys behind him that light up and play music.

Checking out his tree frog :)

So happy to have a new fun thing to play with :)

He absolutely LOVES it.  He can spend forever in there

This is how he has decided he likes to sleep.  One of the first things he does is roll to the edge of the bed on his belly.  I really don't like it!! 

I was getting Chirs ready for his bath, and Zach decided to have a little fun and put him in this box :)   He actually had a lot of fun in it :)

What's so funny?

Standing, waiting for the bath tub to fill up.

He looks like such a such big boy sitting in his high chair.

This is the first time in his high chair.  You can just see how much he loved it :)

Seven & Eight Months Old

Sorry, I missed a month so I am combining the two posts in one :)  He is really getting soo big.  He is close to crawling!  He rolls all over the place :)   He has grown into Mr Independent and loves to play with his toy bucket all by him self.  He is growing up way too fast for me for sure :)

4th and 24th of July

I am such a bad mom and always forget to take a lot of pictures of Chris's firsts.  Since there are so few pictures, I figured I can combine the two holidays in one post.

In Zach's family, there is a tradition to build a snow man on the 4th of July.  It is such a fun tradition :)   This year we were so excited because we would have soo much snow...however, the Farmington Canyon was closed due to land slides and we couldn't go to our normal easy place.  They found a way up and had to wheel the snow from a half a mile away from where they could park the truck!  I think it was too much work, but I am glad they did it :)

These pictures are after Zach put snow on Chris's face.  You can see his in enthusiam :)

We have to wheel the snow from the truck to the building spot and then we build it up with the shovels.

Still building :)

Chris is starting to get excited to see his first snow man :)

This is a semi good one of how big his teeth are getting :)

Our little fam with Chris's first snow man.

The snow man in all its glory :)

It really is a fun tradition.  We have always been able to do it since I joined the family.  I hope that we always have enough snow in the winter so we don't have to skip out on the fun :)

For the 24th of July we went up to my parents house and went swimming in the afternoon (yes I forgot the camera).  Chris LOVES the water.  It was raining and a little cold, but once he got use to the water, he didn't want to get out :)   After a bbq we watched the Driveway of Fire!

Chris all dressed in his jammies ready to see some fireworks!

Having some fun with Aunt Sherry and Katelyn

Watching the fireworks!  He loved them.  He couldn't get enough.  When I tried to cover his eyes with the bright ones, or cover his ears with the loud ones he would ge soo mad and pull my hand down.  He was so fun to watch.

Hanging with mom :)

Zach trying to cover his eyes, he was trying to look arround his hand :)

You can see how tired he is in this picture, but he didn't want to go to sleep

soo...tired...but...have...to...keep...watching :)

He had soo much fun the entire time :)

Woo Hoo :)

I loved watching him have such a good time.  I was really worried that he wasn't going to like them :)
