Slow down speedy!

Our little man is taking off. Being the ham that he is West makes sure he is never out shined by a holiday or special day for someone else. Examples... Reef's birthday he rolled over for the first time, Thanksgiving showed off by crawling around and Christmas stood up on his new barn. Grandma Fox's birthday was January 18th and of course he has wowed us again by free standing!! My heart just sank and tears filled my eyes, I can't believe he is growing up so quickly. West fills his day training by pushing around anything that he can walk behind and hanging onto the stair posts in the hall. I am a nervous wreck following this bundle of energy. At seven months old I do not see what his rush is. My own selfishness wants him to remain a "baby" forever. But he will grow up. I can only hope that his curiosity and love for learning continues for the rest of his life. Mamma loves you beefcake, xoxo.

Hello 2010

Christmas Roundup!

Here are some of my favorite decorations that I set up around the house this year. Last year we were installing wood floors and I was so sick, prego with West, that we didn't put anything out. I wanted to do even more but I spend my days following West around. He is totally crawling and pulling himself up on everything. He can even go up the stairs! Yikes! I made our stockings that we hung on the fireplace.

Cousins! Reef and Tide came over to make cookies for Santa!

Xmas Eve at Grandma & Grandpa TinnerstetChristmas morning we had everyone over for brunch. West had a blast playing with the paper and watching Reef and Tide.
