ho ho ho

ho ho ho

Do you see how big and cute I'm getting?
 
I think life is grand.


I grew my first two teeth this month. They don't show yet when I smile.


I try to sit on my own...but then I end up like this cuz I like to wiggle and reach everything in sight.


I enjoy pondering the big questions of life...like, when's mom gonna hand over another bottle of warm milk?






I think I'll get everything on my list for Christmas...

plus some.


Want a hug? I'll give you the best snuggle ever!

Clara's Worship Dance

In the video Clara is in the middle of the front row to start...then ends up third from the left. Enjoy!
Clara took a worship dance class this fall. She loved every second of it. Here she is getting ready for her first recital.

Waiting for all the girls to be ready. They had to wait patiently for over an hour before it was their turn to dance.



This is how Tilly and Emerson waited for the recital to start with Gramma Jo and Papa. :-) One moment in time where I was THANKFUL for the ipads.




guess who?
Precious girls. Clara is third over from the left.

Clara is in the middle here. We were a little sad that they covered their pretty buns with handkerchiefs. Oh well...they all have beautiful faces!

She danced with all her heart. I was so happy since her past history has been marked with significant stage fright!

I don't think the smile ever left her face. I think she has learned much about worshiping Jesus this fall.




Pretty smile...pointed toe.

First roses...proud little sis.

She got a rose from Gramma Jo and Papa and some from us.

Love this girl...who has been sad every Friday that dance is over for a few months!

Hair today...gone tomorrow.

Oh, O! You have a comb over. The locks are outta control.


It's time to take some action...


I'm not sure you're trusting me on this.


It's gonna be ok...I promise!

A new man.

5 Months

I'm five months old and my mommy won't stop kissing my cheeks...and she's always trying to cover up my crazy wild hair with hats.

See my tricks? I like to grab my feet and eat my toes. I also like to experiment with how wide my mouth will open and what might fit into it.



I wasn't kidding about the mouth trick...

Mommy thinks I look lots like daddy in this picture


She also has some new names for me. The dismantler is the newest. I take apart anything I get my hands on. I can pull every toy off my play gym...no one knows how...and I'm not sharing my secrets.


O-Man is another name I keep hearing


I've been practicing sitting up on my own...but these pumpkins make it much easier.

If you're lucky, you'll catch my biggest grins...the ones where I show off my dimple. That's the other name mama calls me. Dimple. She can't help it...but she should probably not let it last past toddlerhood. I'm very shy about showing my dimple in pictures. You'll have to come snuggle me and find my ticklish spots.


Pumpkin Patch


The kids have been asking when we can go to the pumpkin patch since last November. I love it too.




Lookin at the farm animals
