Christmas Cheer

Santa Baby

I LOVE TO EAT..edible or not!!

Brianna has become an avid food lover and when she is able to eat table food, we will have to keep it all out of reach! She smells it, and she wants it, so it has become the norm for her to sit with us, not in her saucer, not on the floor, but ON OUR LAP so she can see all the food. When shes not at the table..it still goes in for a taste test!

Candid Moments

Brianna continued to wear this hat of sorts all throughout our visit with friends to watch a UT game. After we took it off her head, her head was EXTREMELY warm, so we're assuming this hat is a good source of heat, therefore, favorable to babies. :) Savannah decided to take her shot at being the first rock star of the family!!

~Brianna the taste tester~

Mr. Leopard on the Saucer seems pretty tasty. Maybe it's the "purpleness" that makes it so attractive! In fact, he was snapped right out of his spot in order to get the full effect by the taste tester!



Jif is the best..Guess she wants to know for sure!
Now this doesn't taste the same as what's inside!?!

Brianna has defined herself in a personality all her own already. She is just as curious as Savannah...only instead of asking who people are, and who is on the phone, Brianna wants to know how everything TASTES!!

HALLOWEEN CONTINUED

Since I am Daddy's little girl and I have him wrapped around my finger, he pulled me around in my wagon from house to house! What a good Daddy I have!

HALLOWEEN and PUMPKIN CARVING

I thoroughly enjoyed helping carve our pumpkin. Although I thought the "stuff inside" was funny looking, I did NOT want it to get all over my hands cause it "was messy" and I hate for my hands to be dirty. I was so affectionate with our pumpkin I hugged and kissed it as I do my sister, and told "it" it was so cute!! I was so excited to go trick or treating..every day since the trunk or treat I'd ask if it was time to paint my face green like a green frog. When Halloween FINALLY arrived, I couldnt' wait to get my costume on and head out the door. When we got home, after mommy separated the candy I could have, all I asked to eat was lifesaver gummies, but not before trying a gummy worm, and gummy nose. To this day all I want to eat is lifesaver gummies..guess my chocolate love hasn't settled in yet!

TRUNK OR TREAT

We had trunk or treat at Church tonight so the girls will get more use of their costumes! Brianna actually wore Savannahs from her first Halloween, but Savannah's costume needed some creativity as we could not find a traditional frog costume..

"There was one in the bed and the little one said ROLL OVER, ROLL OVER....."

Heave Ho...UNGH
Man this floor is full of colors!

I did it mommy!

I have finally figured out how to roll over! Mommy and Sissy caught me trying yesterday and as you can see I was trying to figure out what exactly I needed to do to get myself over. I thought maybe if I suck my hand a little and rub my head, all while kicking my legs high up in the air that I might just make it, but I wasn't so successful. But then today mommy looked over and I was already over! I'm so big now! I'm weighing in at 11lbs, 11ox and 23 and 3/4inches long! I'm going to be tall and skinny and beat my sissy's records. I get to eat cereal now and I LOVE IT..I even dive for my food which mommy needs to capture on camera!

Cypress Gardens

Savannah was in heaven with the wildlife that we were able to see. We even took a canoe ride through the swamp (no pics) that daddy paddled us in.

As you can see from the sign, these turtles would be stripped of their lives at any moment! Savannah had to "pet" the turtle statue. The butterfly on the sign was real! I guess it was the greeter for the butterfly house!
