Thanksgiving!

From 4month


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

What an awesome year! I have so much to be thankful for - Christian being the BIGGEST gift of them all!!! He is such a blessing! I am in awe every time I think about his development and how he continues to grow! I've mentioned it before, but his sleeping habits astound me! I never had to train him or work with him on sleeping through the night. As soon as I went back to school I started having him sleep in his crib and he is the happiest little baby at bed time! He eats around 6:30 or 7:00 and falls asleep around 30 minutes to an hour after he eats. All he needs is for mommy to tuck him in nice and tight (kind of like a swaddle) and give him his paci. He rolls his head to the side, sighs and peacefully closes his eyes while I pat his chest. In 2 minutes or less he's out! I am so blessed! And he doesn't wake up until 5:30-6:00am! Occasionally he'll wake up and cry for a bit - it's usually remedied by the paci and comforting pats. I think only twice since I've been back to school has it been a hungry cry that needed a midnight feeding.
He is laughing and talking so much more! It is the cutest!
Here is a short little video with some of his cute giggles!!!



Today was the day of our family Christmas photos!!! Here they are! Christian did so well!!!

Halloween!

I just realized I hadn't blogged about our day on Halloween!
My little pirate had such a fun time!

We went to the Pumpkinfest in downtown Franklin and met up with Jody, Roxy and Ryley! There was so much to see and do! We participated in our first costume contest - he was the cutest pirate but we didn't take home any prizes!

Hanging out with Jody, Roxy and Ryley was fun!!! We can't wait until Ryley and Christian are big enough for all of the cool kid activities!

This week was the first week for me to go back to work! Christian has been amazing for Mimi and Daddy! Although I'm tired, I have enjoyed the routine and schedule of working and being a mommy! I think everything will be ok!
