Cute Pictures

Just some really cute pictures to share....

Mason fell asleep on the way home the other day and I just laid him down still in his snow suit. He looks like a little fat sleepy bear.

I tried the other night to get some pictures of the kids for our christmas cards....didn't turn out like I wanted. It's hard to get both of them to sit still together or smile together. I probably took 50 pictures and did not get 1 of the 2 of them I could use. But I love some of the ones of them individualy.

Brrrrrrrrr

It is really starting to feeling like winter here. We haven't gotten out of the 30's in the last 2 weeks. A couple of days we have seen some snow. Emily really love the snow. She likes to open her mouth really wide and try to catch it. We have started using the fireplace every night that Brent's home from work. Mason is very very interested in the fire. We really have to watch him. He likes to sit by Brent when he starts them.

Emily likes to blow on the fire with Daddy when it starts to go down.

And So It Has Begun

I officially started my Christmas shopping. Yea!!! Emily has asked Santa for Elmo Live. About 3 weeks ago she became obsessed with Elmo. Just out of the blue. It's actually really cute. I bought her "Elmo's Christmas Countdown" and we watch it probably 5 times a day. She wakes up asking for the Elmo video and goes to sleep asking for it too. It's kinda neat because it's introducing her to Santa a little and she really likes him. We will see how much she likes him when we take her to sit on his lap this year. I am really looking forward to Christmas with her this year. Every year she understands it a little more. I think Mason will just want to eat the paper this year. I could probably get him a box of baby wipes and he would be good to go. He loves playing the box of wipes. Good luck to everyone with their shopping. This is my favorite time of year!

Bath Time Fun

Now that Mason is getting bigger it is easier for me to give them a bath together. With Brent still working afternoon shift at the PD I have to really manage my time well with them. I put them in and let them play for a little while. Emily has taught Mason how to splash and he loves it. They sit in there and just laugh and giggle. I wash Mason up first and get him out. Then Emily. Then Emily loves to run a couple of laps around the house in her diaper. Then both of them get in their pj's and play together the rest of the night. They play so nice together. I love to peek around the corner when they don't see me and just watch them play!

2 More Teeth and Standing Up!!!

Mason is cutting 2 teeth at the same time just like Emily did. He just got his top 2 last week. He did ok... a little ochie and ran a little fever. He looks like a little pumpkin. Then over the weekend I was sitting on the couch watching a football game and he pulled himslef up and held on to the couch. He is really getting to be a big boy. Do any of you other moms feel like your baby is getting way to big to fast. I am just trying to cherish every single second!
