Our first family trip (and random pictures)

We are packing and getting everything ready for our first family trip!

 Christian in his Pumas Chris bought him

Tomorrow we will be flying (eek!) to Colorado to visit family and friends, for almost 2 whole weeks!  Then we will say goodbye to Daddy and Christian and I will fly to Oklahoma where I will get to spend another two weeks catching up with friends and family.

 Christians face when he thought he was going to have to wear shoes everyday :)

-don't worry, we were just trying them on-

We are very excited (me=nervous) to fly with Christian and have him meet some of our friends and family he hasn't met yet.

What happened when we took the paci out

I'll be sure to post pictures of him flying for the first time and keep you all updated. 

Lots of love,

Bad Dog to a Good Home

Anyone need an Angelo? (oh he looks so innocent there doesn't he?)
After months of quiet hatred he has began his revolt against Christian...

Exhibit A:  This was Christians favorite monkey, his Grandma Baksa bought it for him for Christmas.  He loved to lick him and swing him around.  Here's what he looked like after Angelo had a little fun with him.

So...I had to go online and find another one, and bought two just in case...

Since this "incident" Angelo has also destroyed a pacifier, and a few toys have been moved around, but no missing eyes since Monkeys attack.  I don't know what we are going to do with that dog!  I think he knows its too hot in Georgia for him to live outside, and we've loaned all his cages out... Maybe he's hoping we'll keep him and get rid of the kid, since he's less work?

If you see him on your doorstep, feel free to let him in and and just start taking care of him :) 

 

Just perfect

As I rocked Christian Orion to sleep tonight I realized that this is what I have always wanted.  What I have always dreamed of and waited for.  He makes every day just that much better. 

3 Months Old

This past Saturday Christian turned 3 Months old! He is getting to be quite the big (little) guy. So far he's got a pretty good hold on his head...still bobbing around a bit though. He's sleeping through the night in his crib, eating every 3 to 4 hours (SINCE SATURDAY! THANK GOODNESS! can you tell the every 2 hours was killing me?!), he can grasp objects, lift his head up when he's on his tummy, and coos and smiles and laughs at us. Grandparents you won't believe this is the same baby you saw just three months ago, he's changed so much.

I love this one, he looks like a little doll.
Christian makes these ducky lips all the time. Cracks us up.

Here's one for perspective. Everyone always thinks by the pictures he's the size of a 6 month old. Its the hair, throws everyone off. In person people are always asking me if he's tiny for his age because they think with all that hair he must be 6 months old. No people, he's a big 3 month old and yes, he does have tons of hair. I think I say that at least 5 times a day :)
Christian just figured out how to get his fingers in his mouth and he's loving it.
There I am hiding in the background :) He decided no more pictures unless he was sitting in my lap.
He always gets serious on me when the camera comes out. I have to try and distract him, otherwise he just stares at it like, what is that thing?, the entire time.


Its been a great 3 months.
