Disney Pics

Whew. It's been busy around here. We did Disney. We came home with very sick kiddos. Then it was Christmas time and we hadn't wrapped a thing. Whew. We're going to try to play some catch up on the blog now!

First up, some of the pictures taken by the lovely people at Disney for us. Enjoy!

22 seconds of a Bow.






One day she'll realize how adorable that is and keep it in longer than 22 seconds, right?! Right?!

Decorating!

Do you want to build a snowman?

Charlie Brown Christmas tree goes to the porch!


Icicle lights on the gutters!



Supervisor.


Make that two. Three if you count the furry one in the back.


Kennedy, kid photographer.


Wait, is that another supervisor I see?


Time for the inside tree!


Look! All of us in the same picture!


It's Michael in a Santa hat!


Yes, he's wearing a Halloween shirt. Stop judging, and look at that face.


First ornament to go on the tree this year. K's handprint from 2013.


Oh and her chin? A stick. A mean, mean stick.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


8 Months Old!

Our big guy is 8 months old! And yes, he is a big guy. And he loves to eat. All the time. Whatever we send his way. Baby food, toddler meals, adult meals. He's ready to eat it all! Oh yeah, and he still loves to nurse too. So there's that. But no watermelon. It's literally the ONLY food he has ever spit out.

Still no teeth. Still no crawling.

He's wearing 12 month clothes predominately. The occasional 18 month outfit and he has a few 6-12 month items that still fit. Size 4 diapers.

Still a happy dude almost all the time.

His sleep habits aren't as awesome as they once were. He's struggling to take long enough naps to sustain him all the way to a reasonable bedtime and he ends up crashing for the night around 5. And most nights, as of late, he has been waking up sometime around midnight for a little late night party for about an hour and then going back to bed. He's been waking up for the day around 4:30 or 5. We are WELL aware around here that time changes were not invented by parents of young children.

He has started to shake his head "no" but not with any real desire to communicate, just because it seems to be be a new discovery. He loves it when Mommy or Daddy use their finger to make his lips make the "bluhb-bluhb" sound. (Have you ever tried to describe that?!)

He is the most loved little man.

The Ball and Fall Y'all.

Marine Corps Ball 2015. It was our first in a few years, as Andrew has been deployed for the last two balls. So at our last ball, K was 3 weeks old.

Our resident photographer in training took this one. Thanks Kennedy!


"Put your hands on your hips like Mommy!" needs some more practice...




We recently bought our first Lego kit for a rainy Saturday at home with Daddy. Big success!





We love Fall because we love jumping in piles of leaves!






Michael enjoys the leaf action too.




Michael also enjoys a good lazy football afternoon.
