A Smile A Day...

November 16- Little Surf Dude

November 15- Mommy's sweetie!

November 14- BIG SMILE

November 13- He is so ticklish :)

November 11- Even green beans make this little dude smile!  I told Der to teach his daddy how to eat green beans :)

November 10- Der is excited to be in a big boy high chair (thanks Nonna).  We call this his "King Tut Chair" Now we can all eat meals together, one of my favorite things!

Nonna's visit

November 9- We call this his "focus face"- he is showing off his roll to Nonna.

November 8- My mom came up for a few days to help out- the three of us had a great time!

November 8- Someone is excited that Nonna (my mom) is here to play!

November 7- Such a charmer

It's the simple things....

November 6- So darn cute!

November 5- My baby's first tooth (hard to see, but geeeez that thing is sharp!)

November 4- I am trying to get Der on a more regular routine...so I wrote out his "ideal schedule"...and when I showed it to him, he tried to eat it.  Probably not a good sign...

November 3- YUCK! 

November 2- His newest move of sticking his tongue out could get him into trouble it he's not careful!

November 1- Der is now fascinated with drinking.  We have been letting him have sips of water from a cup/

October 31- Our trick or treaters were greeted by this little cutie!  We couldn't believe we ran out of candy before 8:00, even after a quick trip to the store for 6 more bags.  With this being our first year in a house, we were so excited to have so many kids come by!  We will be more prepared next year.

October 30- All ready for the Rangers game!

October 29- We had some unplanned excitement!  Ryan, the mechanic, has been doing all kinds of stuff to maintain our cars.  On the agenda today was to flush the break fluid, which we thought went smoothly... till he needed the brakes to keep the car from running into the house.  It could have been much worse...like if he had put it in reverse.  Even still, I am very proud of Ryan for learning how to do all these things himself.

October 28- Who says you can't wear your PJ's all day?

 

 

 

October 27- Der still loves this toy!

October 26- Those must be some tasty toes.

October 25- Splish splash!! 

October 24- How could that be comfortable?

Staycation Part 2

October 23- We went on lots of family walks, with our adorable little bundled up bundle of joy!

October 22- We tried to go to Starbucks (a Sabbath tradition), but Der wanted to play at home.

October 21- We spent the day on the lake. The weather could not have been more beautiful!

Mommy's punkin :)

So sweet!

 Too many cute pictures to count!

October 20- By far the most adorable pumpkin I have ever seen!!  We took Der to the arboretum to see all the pumpkins.

October 19- The breath-taking view we had of the city from  our room downtown!  Ryan has a knack for getting free upgrades!

October 18- Our night away!  It was nice to get dressed up and not have to worry about getting spit up on!

I wasn't able to get the whole week of our "stay"cation up as planned.  Sometimes Der doesn't cooperate with my agenda for the day :)  I hear babies tend to do that...so here are the rest of the pics!

Our "stay"cation part 1

October 14- Poppy and Nonna came up to watch Der so we could go away for the night!

October 13- A beautiful evening!

Ryan took the week off so we could spend some extra time as a family!  It was so refreshing and relaxing!  Lots of great memories were made!


And as a side note, I read a wonderful book- Crazy Love, by Francis Chan- comes highly recommended-its not often that I read a book in a couple of days, but I was so intrigued and then empowered that I couldn't put it down!   Its about living out the Gospel!
