Little Boy in the Hood

Oh yay!

First Thanksgiving!

And EVERYONE got sick - but we still enjoyed our time!

Baby A spent time with Grandpa and Grammy....checkout out their new house they were in the process of buying...

Baby A met Santa and did awesome! Of course, he wasn't scared at all  - he was confused b/c his parents and grandparents were all yelling his name from different directions...he had no idea where to look!

AND Baby A TURNED 6 Months old!!!!!

Layover at Chicago Midway

We headed out to Scottsdale to visit Grammy and Grandpa for Thanksgiving! Here are Baby A and Daddy during our layover in Chicago Midway.

Someone likes peas!

Success...finally eating more than formula!

I LOVE to jump!!!!

I love to jump in my new jumper - for 2.5 hours at a time - typically twice a day!

2nd road trip - Savannah

We drove down to Savannah for Baby A's 2nd road trip! It was quite an adventure - we drove many hours - hoping to see outlet malls on the way (without any luck). We arrived at 9 pm and were told that we didn't have a reservation at our hotel....and EVERY HOTEL ROOM IN SAVANNAH WAS BOOKED b/c of the Southern Management Conference that husband was attending. Well, living in the beautiful bubble he does, Husband was able to work it out AND get us a free upgrade!

Baby A and I enjoyed some shopping - especially at a toy store right beneath our hotel! Here he is enjoying his purchases!

Archer's First Halloween

On 10/29 we began Archer's 1st Halloween Celebration! Archer spent the morning playing in his Texas Longhorn Costume from our sweet cousins, Beth, Abby, and Mitchell.

He spent a long time snoozing that day.....

and then we went to Laura's house to celebrate!

That evening we figured out why Archer was so sleepy - he was busy cutting his first tooth!!

First Snow!

We had our first snow of the season and of Archer's life! Crazy and unexpected!

Life is Good!

Just Playing!

Archer's motor skills are really strong! This past week he really got into spinning things - especially these fun bees and ladybugs on his chair!

Mommy and Daddy's Little Sweetie!

Couples Shower for Baby M's Mama and Papa!

We celebrated the upcoming arrival of Baby M today with a couples' shower!

Hanging Out!

Mr. Bright Eyes!

Everyone always stops us to comment on Archer's beautiful eyes! And, is that really such a surprise?
