Snow!!!

Beau was taking a morning nap through much of the snow yesterday, but after lunch he did get to outside to play in it for a little while....

Touching the snow and then realizing it was cold

Loving sitting in the snow

Excited about the snow!!

Nona and Papa C came down (8 houses down) to see Beau's first snow

Just Having Fun

We have just been playing and having a great time with Beau. Below are a few pictures of what we have been up to........
Riding in the grocery cart like a big boy! He loves to ride this way because he can turn and check out everything and everyone!


Trying to stand up....lasted for a few seconds


We had dinner with Emily and Jim and Scott and MV and their boys for Emily's birthday. Beau was playing with Jim and then got worn out.

Chewing on my AU sippy cup....he loves to play with sippy cups, but has not mastered how to drink water from them yet.

We ate dinner with Lindsey and Derek and Beau was checking out their son, Parker... Parker went to bed and Beau was getting ready for bed, but was loving playing with all of Parker's toys.

You may not be able to tell from this picture, but Beau wakes up with a mowhawk or crazy hair after every nap. It is too cute!!

A Few of My Favorite Things

These are a few of Beau's new favorite things.....

Pack N Play time....He can sit it in and play and look out the window into the backyard. Most of the time after 10 minutes or so, I find him laying down trying to eat the pack n play......but, in this picture he is eating the blocks that cousin Rachel gave him for Christmas

The Musical table that Aunt Betsy gave him for Christmas. He loves to spin the turtle on the corner because it makes a noise and the center spins. He likes to spin it over, and over, and over, and over!

Teething bracelets! His Grandparents gave him teething bracelets for Mom to wear from Smith's Variety store....He would rather just have them and chew on them himself.

Sleeping on my tummy!!!

I was the Mom who tried to followed every rule in "Babywise" and every rule our Pediatrician told us we needed to follow....It may be the teacher in me that doesn't want to break the rules....Anyway, I never let Beau sleep on his belly even though he was not a good sleeper on his back.....Now that he can roll over he definitely prefers his belly, and he sleeps sooooooooo much better on it!

Beau does not however love the holidays...well the night after the holiday that is....Most of the time, Beau sleeps 10-11 hours straight at night, but so far here is our record for the holiday nights....

Thanksgiving....woke up screaming that night....the reason, he was hungry and ready for baby food

Christmas Eve....woke up screaming that night...the reason, Santa coming through on the fire truck late at night

Christmas Night...woke up screaming that night...the reason, Cutting a tooth

New Year's Eve....was screaming that night at The Allen's house...the reason, night terror(he doesn't have these often, but when he does they are scary!)

We are hoping he breaks the trend on Valentine's Day and has a great night sleep that night!!!!
