Moment of Silence

Well folks.
After 11 months and 1 week,
After 8 months of drooling and unexplained crankiness...
WE HAVE A TOOTH!!!!

Last year's Xmas Box

Last year, we decided to put together a box filled with homemade goodies for Grey's extended family (that we see every Christmas) and for a few of our closer church friends.  They were quite the hit!
This year, we're doing the same thing and I thought I'd include some of the recipes for ya.

(I have no idea which recipe he uses)

Christmas is in 9 days! Woo Hoo!

Lately...

We celebrated Thanksgiving!

We visited a Blow Up Santa

 James saw his first decorated Christmas Tree and LOVED it!

 (momentary sensory overload from the christmas tree/lights/music)

 This was the best pictures we could get...he wanted to go go go!

 Like Father, like son...both so photogenic

 James took a few baths

He sword fought with an empty paper roll

And...he celebrated 11 months!

 

 He's eating well, no teeth STILL, sleeping a blessed 12 hours at night, walking/running all over the place, giving high fives, blowing kisses...he's a cute little boy!
