Taking, talking, talking!

Scott is full of new words, made up words, and nonstop babble these days. As I type this he is looking out the back window yelling for the dog who lives behind us and waving bye-bye since Bella went inside. He has started putting words together, it is so much fun! In the car a couple days ago, he pointed at Will and said, "Dat Bubba." To which I responded, "Yes, that is Bubba!" It is so amazing to watch him turn into a little person.

Words he is saying:
Bye-bye
diaper (biper)
trash (he likes to take his diapers to the trash when we change him)
Elmo (Melmo)
baby
uh-oh
dog (constantly)
ball
He can name all of us that live in the house, plus my parents and grandparents
He is also naming several animals and their sounds - horse, cow, dog, cat, duck, elephant, lion.

We are still struggling with his very strong personality, and the fact that the only time he slows down is when he is sleeping. I think once he can talk better, and can express what he wants he will be less frustrated. Regardless, he brings us loads of joy and is lots of fun!

Christmas Eve

We spend Christmas Eve in Baytown with all of Patrick's family. It is a busy, fun filled day! Scott barely napped, Will was a wild man...and they were both passed out within 15 minutes of our car ride home (at 6PM!) Here is hoping we get to sleep in a little in the morning!
Merry CHRISTmas ... Jesus is the reason for the season!

Santa Claus

Scott wanted nothing to do with the big guy, and Will would have stayed all day to hang out!

Ear Infections...

Scott just cannot seem to get rid of and keep away these ear infections. It is a vicious cycle...starts pulling his ear, nose starts running, then comes the cough and grouchy mood! We have been referred to an ENT specialist, and will be seeing her on January 16. We just want our little guy to be well.

The Boys

We lucked out this year with the pictures the boys had taken at school. They turned out great. I think we have 2 pretty cute boys if I do say so myself!

Grandma's Birthday

Last weekend we celebrated my Grandma's 78th birthday. We got a great picture of her with all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren! We are all blessed to have a Grandma like her. She is amazing, and I count my blessings to have grown up so close to her and that my boys have been able to meet her and spend time with her.
