Our Little Angel

I haven't been able to get on Blogger for a week so I am even further behind! Here is Gabby at her church choir Christmas musical. She was a beautiful angel, of course, and sang wonderfully. (I did make the dress, in case anyone is wondering.)

Catching up a bit

OK, you have to look really close to see the tiny little tooth in the picture. We had to mug the poor kid to get a picture at all. He doesn't like to show his tooth, even in person. The next picture is from his 7 month birthday. He's still rocking on his hands and knees. The last picture is having fun with sissy. Sam thinks Gabby is the greatest, funniest thing. She was telling him a story last night and he was just laughing like crazy. He sure loves her!

Another funny story from last night - Gabby and I were exercising (she was telling me what to do, really) and we were lying on our sides and stretching our legs up. He looked at us, rolled on his side and put his leg up. It was so funny! He also started hanging on when you hold him and has just generally grown and behaves older. Robert weighed him in at 20 pounds a couple of days ago.

It's How Cold There??

To all our friends in Illinois, Indiana, New York, Michigan, Montana, Idaho, Alaska and Antarctica and anywhere else you might be where it is cold : just wanted to let you know it was 80 degrees at our house today. I fetched the paper at 6:30 this morning in shorts and bare feet. We should turn on the A/C but I refuse to do so in December so we have the windows open and fans running. I can't exactly say we're happy about it. It does confirm my notion that I would not really like living in Hawaii due to the lack of seasons. Now, catch me in a month and a half when we have moved further midwest and ask me again....

Good perspective for the holiday season

Teeth!

Sammy has a tooth! Lower front, just barely peeping through this morning. Don't have a pic of it yet but will post one when I have it.

Sam's New Tricks

Just tonight Sam was up on his knees! He's rocking and still going backwards but he can get up on his knees. I also noticed today that he dropped something from his high chair and looked down for it. Yesterday he started clapping. He's just picking up something new every day!

Going to the second hand...

WAR EAGLE! We beat Bama for the SIXTH year in a row! My kids have never lost an Auburn-Alabama game. I guess Nick Saban hasn't made enough yet....
