Mommy's in trouble now....

Things are about to get interesting around here!! I walked out of the room, came back in... and this is how I found Brian... :)

8 1/2 months and counting!

Where has the time gone?!?!? Here are Brian's 8 month pictures. He is getting so big! He's hand and knee crawling now (still resorts back to the army crawl if he's not getting there fast enough!) He's saying "mama" and trying to say either "baby" or "ball"... not sure which... maybe both! I found him standing up on his own the other day...yikes! He is learning something new every single day and he is definitely keeping me on my toes! Time to baby-proof the house :)

Brian's first Christmas tree!

Christmas is absolutely my favorite holiday and I am SO excited to experience it now as a Mom. I know Brian doesn't understand what is going on right now, but it is so much fun for me to celebrate this Christmas with him. The tree has always been such a centerpiece in our family - adorned with personal ornaments - homemade ones, fun ones, and sentimental ones. It's always had colored lights and it's always beautiful. I loved our Christmas tree growing up and I hope Brian will love it as he grows up. Because I want him to know how special it is from the very start, I put his own little tree in his room that he can look at any time he wants to. I love it. And, he loves looking at it! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow, ok - I know, I know - I am really far behind on posting. There's just been a lot going on, and I haven't had the time to sit down and update. Sorry! :) This Thanksgiving, I have so much to be thankful for. We have a beautiful, healthy, happy and amazing little boy who has filled the last 8 months with so much love and happiness. I am so thankful for him, and the joy he brings to our lives. I thank God everyday for blessing us with Brian. He truly is a gift!! We went to my parents house for Thanksgiving. My Grandpa and Grandma were supposed to come in, but they couldn't make their flight. :( But, we had a really nice day with wonderful food - THANKS MOM!!! Brian got to experience his first Thanksgiving dinner... he even got to try sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and some turkey... none of which he really cared for! hahaha! But, it was a really great day!
