Emerson

John Thomas wrote his note to Santa for his Magical Elf, he left out crackers and water like you are suppose to and the next morning Emerson the Elf was on our kitchen counter. Emerson hasn't caused much trouble around our house so far but I think it is just because he planning something big. I can't wait until John Thomas is older and can really get into having his magical elf. If you have never heard of this tradition you need to go to elf-magic.com

Our Visit With Santa

We decided to go to the Galleria tonight to see Santa. We were only in line for about 15 minutes and we were the last people to see him before he went on a break. John Thomas has found a few Christmas gifts I have had hidden around the house and seems to really want them, I can't wait to see him on Christmas. I have some more pictures to upload but Heather has my camera and I will be getting it tomorrow ( I can't keep up with anything).

The Following Images Contain Nudity

This boy loves bath time and I couldn't resist posting these pictures. Look at those chunky legs....we know he didnt' get those from me. I'm not sure if you can tell but in the 3rd picture you can see how he is double crowned, I'm not sure how common that is but his Uncle Lee is double crowned as well. We are going to go get our picture made with Santa sometime this upcoming week and are going to be in the PG Christmas Parade tomorrow. Scott's B-Day is coming up as well and John Thomas has been busy trying to think of something special to get him.

Oh Christmas Tree

Aunt Robin bought John Thomas his own little Christmas to go in his room. We found the perfect place for it on his chifferobe and each morning when we wake up we look at all the ornaments while we feed Jack Sparrow (the fish).

1st Thanksgiving

OK, so these are the only pictures I have from my baby's first Thanksgiving. I have got to get better with taking pictures. You may notice the small red dots John Thomas has around his nose (there are 3), Libby bit him. I set a small bowl of left over Mac n Cheese in the floor for Libby to eat and John Thomas apparently got in her way and she proceeded to bite him. Libby has since become an outside dog and is allowed nowhere near John Thomas. I would give her away but he loves her so much and just sits at the glass door and watches her. I'm glad it wasn't worse and I promise Libby will never be close enough to bite him again.

MMMMM............Cupcakes

They day before Thanksgiving I was craving something sweet. I went to the kitchen and actually discovered that we had everything needed to make cupcakes. I made one batch and let John Thomas taste one, with no icing, of course.
Little did I know I was creating a monster. He knew they came from teh oven so he watched it as the other batched cooked.
I couldn't eat a cupcake for the next 2 days without having a small audience of 1.

My Favorite!!!

This is a photo my friend Rachael took for John Thomas' 6 month pictures. She does a great job and I highly reccommend her. I have some others I was trying to post but my comp. is acting up. I will try to get them on here as soon as I figure out the problem. You can see Rachael's work at www.rachaelspencerphotography.blogspot.com

Pulling Up

We ar officially pulling up on everything! There is no dance next week so I am going to catch up on some posts and try to plan some fun things for the family to do. I will take LOTS of pictures.

"no"

John Thomas has yet to realize what the word "no" means. I can scream it as loud as I want and he will stop long enough to smile at me but never stops what he is getting into completely. I ran to grab the phone the other day and came back into his room and found him on the bottom shelf of the changing table. Once he got up there he got a little scared at getting down and started to whimper. Excuse Libby in the picture, she seems to always make into the shot.

New Shoes

We had to go to Stride Rite to get John Thomas some shoes. His feet are SO wide that no cheap shoes would fit him. Leave it up to my child to need expensive things. He was extremely good while the lady measured his foot and then tried his shoes on him. The only problem we had was when I set him down to try crawling in them he fell over and bumped his head. I am suprised you can't see the red bump that came up on his forehead. After getting to play for a while and be carried around the galleria (I'm sure we looked like idiots with an empty stroller) all was well. He is such a happy little fella and we feel really lucky to have such a good baby. I thought it was sweet that they take their picture with their first pair of shoes.

Playing on Mommy and Daddy's bed

John Thomas came into our room and played on the bed with his Daddy while I was folding some clothes. In the 2nd picture you can see that we now have our "2 Front Teeth" in time for Christmas. The 2 teeth on the sides of his top teeth have actually already cut through and you can even see them now. We hae a busy week and weekend ahead of us. Saturday we get to go to Hadley's (Alicia's little girl) 1st Birthday party and we can't wait.

Still a Favorite

The excersaucer is still one of John Thomas' favorite toys, but instead of sitting in it he enjoys crawling in and out of the bottom. Everytime I think I am going to put a toy away and get it off of my floor he finds a new way to enjoy it.

Look What We Grew

Big'n sure did enjoy Halloween. The costume didn't seem to bother him too badly, he had a few visitors, and even went Trick or Treating. We are ready for the holiday season and can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

1st Haircut

Yes, I know he is a little young to have already had a haircut but his hair was constantly in his eyes and his sides were grown out longer than the rest. I just wanted it cleaned up on the sides but the hairdresser got a little excited and cut more than I wanted, but it will grow back. He was SO good and would only turn his head if I snapped a picture.

Beautiful Baby

How could you not love this face?!?
