Christmas 2009 (part 4): What a crackup!

Christmas 2009 (part 3): Wishing Fresno wasn't 3 hours away

Christmas 2009 (part 2): Everyone loves holding Miller

Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the rest of my northern california family snuggling up with our little guy. If you are not pictured, be prepared for a camera and a baby in your face the next time we get together.

Christmas 2009: road trippin', catching up with family and friends, and only 1 carseat meltdown (part 1)

Gifting

So proud of these!

I made felt name books for some of my friends' little ones for Christmas this year. See one here. Hopefully soon I'll finish creating my etsy shop and sell these to some other book loving tykes.

This cute guy...

Is now a pro at sitting up, eating solid foods, rolling over, babbling, reaching for toys, hair, or jewelry and using his charming smile to melt every heart he meets.

What he isn't doing so well is sleeping longer than 3 hours at a time. Anyone have any tips to share? Our upstairs neighbors and the bags under our eyes would surely appreciate it.

What a week!

Candy, gifts and loads of hugs. Stories and photos to come soon. Enjoy your rest as we catch up on ours.

Holiday 2009

Our ridiculously talented friend Erin took awesome pregnancy shots for us back in May, so it was only natural that we utilize her talents yet again for this year's holiday cards. She's pretty much our permanent family photographer from now on.

Here are some of the best pictures not being used this year:

Our little foodie

After 2 successful weeks enjoying delicious rice cereal, Miller's now loving acorn squash and apple juice. I can't wait to start pureeing meat. Mmmm.

Aw, so cute

Evan thinks he can beat me at Tetris. How my little heart breaks for him.
