Happy!

Happy...
(late) Veteran's Day to my Puppup! (The picture: He and Nanny had told us that they were unable to come to our wedding and then BAM! 25 minutes before it's time to walk down the aisle, they show up!  They had gotten up and driven all the way from TN that morning! Sweet Jen was just a tad shocked and emotional when they showed up...) Puppup is a WWII veteran and I am so thankful for his service!

Happy...

10 months little James!

He's a walking, talking, eating machine that loves to babble, spin toys, throw food (No No James!), play with Daddy, and be attached at the hip to Momma.

He's eating almost everything that we're eating.  He loves greenbeans, black beans, cheese, and baby goldfish.  I gave him low fat mac and cheese and broccoli today for lunch and...all of it ended up on the floor. No No James!  He loves to beat on pumpkins and steal any/all of my breakfast.  He has turned a corner with sleeping!  WOO HOO!! He's sleeping through the night (a full 12 hours) about every other day and the other days, he'll wake up around 4 or 5am to nurse.  I feel like a new human being. I (shock!) stayed up till a whopping 10pm the other night. 

 (Clapping for his own birthday)

 (Getting brave...right after this, he took a dive off the chair BUT WE CAUGHT HIM!!!)

 So much for the sticker

 This is Marvin. Marvin is a monkey presented to James only at nap times and bed time.  Marvin gets washed once a week and dried in the dryer 3 times a day. Apparently James likes to suck on Marvin during his nap times. If I don't stick Marvin in the dryer after each nap time, the monkey is still soaking wet 3 hours later when it's time for his next nap. Thankfully, Santa Grammy has arranged for Marvin 2 to make an appearance soon.

Pumpkin Spice Oreos!!!!! Recommended by KPS, we HAD to go out and find them.  This resulted in trips to Walmart, Ingles, and finally Publix!  We (Grey more so than me) loved them!  We (Grey more so that me) consumed the entire package in 3 days.  We then (Grey more so than me) decided that we needed to make Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes for our Thanksgiving celebration with these used as the bottom of the cupcake.  We then (Grey more so than me) decided that we HAD to go out and get 2 more packs and thus went on another wild oreo hunt because Publix was sold out of them.  Don't worry...we found them!

Happy Friday tomorrow!
