Baby's First Christmas!

Christmas Eve!
We spent Christmas Eve with my family at Collette's house. Complete with a yummy dinner of crab, shrimp, steak (for the non crab eaters), salad and potatoes, a dance off and a sing off, yummy treats, comfy jammies, a very cute nativity reenactment and of course ugly sweaters!

We decided to make ours this year, I loved the way they turned out and we won the ugliest!

The Whitleys!

 Benelli even got a present!

Very happy on while opening presents!

Nikson with his "Ugly Doll" and Watson the raccoon. He also got lots of books, some very cute clothes, a blanket, a car seat toy, some more binkies, some fun learning toys, cds, movies, he definitely got spoiled!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our cute little Family!

My Baby Is 2 Months Old.

We went to Nikson's 2 month Dr appointment last Monday. He weighs 9 pounds 9 ounces, still only the 10th percentile. 22 3/4 inches, 60th percentile and 75th percentile for his head. He is starting to get some chub, he's got some cute chubby cheeks and a double chin, I love it. He is a very happy baby and smiles all the time, but his happiest time is in the morning.

He loves when his daddy tickles and plays with him. He doesn't make too much noise (especially compared to his cousin, Hadlee) but when he talks and coos its so darn cute! He is in size 1 diapers, but is in between newborn and 0-3 months clothes, some newborn clothes still fit but some are way tight on him and some 0-3 month clothes almost fit while others are HUGE. He has been sleeping between 6-8 hours a night which is awesome! He love his activity gym that we got him for Christmas (we gave it to him a little early) he also loves his bumbo, when he gets tired he can't quite hold his head up, but he still loves it! 

He doesn't look like the same baby anymore.

Happy 2 Months...

... to this little cutie face!

Best Cousins (part 2)

I had to steal these pictures from Megan's blog when I saw them!  Megan and I like to let Hadlee and Nikson "play" when we are together!  Most of the time Nikson is sleeping so he is not much fun, but this day he was wide awake and happy.  

It was so cute they just kept looking at each other and Hadlee would smile! 

Hadlee kept trying to stick her hands in his mouth and he just started licking her hands.  

It was so funny! (both of them have crazy hair in this one, I love it!)

I just  can't wait until they are a little older and can interact with each other more!

Thanksgiving!

This year was a Thornton Thanksgiving! We celebrated at Josh's parents house.

This saves my life somedays. Now if they could just make one you could wear in the shower.
