FREEBIRD!
Grant's first burrito. Isn't that little baby burrito adorable? We ordered him a quesadilla, but this is what we got. He ate a few of the black beans, but that's about it.
Good morning!
Wrote this Saturday and just realized it never posted! Trying again.
Yesterday when I went to get G up, he didn't wake up when I turned the hall light on. So I turned the lamp on and was able to snap a sleeping picture before he woke up. He had pulled the burp cloth into his crib from the chair. Maybe he wants a lovey?
Within seconds he was up standing, watching his rainforest.
No picture, but this morning, he was already awake and when I came in his room, he screamed! What a greeting. I love this kid!

Eleven Months Old
One month til one! Hard to believe.
Grant had a great month. His latest trick is shaking his head no. He does t know what it means, but he loves doing it. Speed crawling all over the place. He goes so fast and is so focused on his hands that he sometimes will crawl straight into a wall or coffee table. He does laps down the hallway back and forth.
Teeth: 2 on bottom, 4 on top. The forth one is coming in now and he is drooling like crazy.
Food: Still nursing AM and PM with two bottles at daycare. Five to six stage three jars per day. We've been giving him more and more table food but it will just take some time and practice for him to get better at eating real food.
Size 12 months clothes and size 3 diapers.
Loves bath time, the vacuum cleaner, clothes dryer, oven and dishwasher.
Pulling up and cruising but not standing alone or taking any steps. He got a ton of great toys to push once he gets more steady on his feet.
We lucked out that G did not catch the stomach bug that Chris had and that went around daycare.
Enjoyed celebrating Christmas in Wichita Falls and Murphy with both sides of the family. He wasn't too interested in opening gifts, but he loved the paper, bows and boxes.

O Christmas Tree
Decorator, I am not. I still need something for the top of our tree so the best you are going to get is a close up of my favorite ornaments. My mom always did a big red velvet bow and I'm thinking the same thing. I bought some wide red ribbon with wire in it, but haven't found the time to try and make a bow big enough to be a tree topper. I fell in love with a burlap and red ribbon bow on etsy... Maybe next year.
This is the first year in a long time we put up a tree. The first year we were in Dallas, one of the dogs ate a ton of my in laws ornaments (glass!). At the time I think we blamed Moses because he was still a puppy, but now that we know better, I'm betting it was Pepper. So the next year I thought, no big deal, I'll do a tree without ornaments and just lights! That's what counts from the window anyway. Guess what, a dog(s? Pepper?) ate the lights!!! So I don't think we've put up a tree since.
Since this is Grant's first Christmas, of course we had to have a tree - always real! And this year we wised up and thanks to our generous neighbor's hand me down play yard, our tree is dog AND baby proofed!
Chris and I started collecting ornaments whenever we travel. Since we haven't put up a tree in so long, a lot of these have never been hung! Some were in the original wrapping from the store. The only one I can't find is Hawaii. I swear we bought one there but it wasn't in my Christmas bins. It was so fun opening each box to find a surprise ornament and remember the fun times we had at that place. I can't wait to continue this tradition with Grant.
(Sorry these are blurry, they were taken one handed with my phone. Now that I think about it - I'm not a great writer, my pics are terrible... good thing my baby's cute! He's the only thing keeping this blog going!)
