Santa Claus

Hmmm. . . Maybe Santa spilled the beans and told him he was only getting diapers for Christmas this year.

Updates

Crew is getting a lot more fun these days (Well, minus his colic issues that is). He is smiling, cooing, batting at his toys, making spit bubbles. . . You get the drift. I don't think either of us knew how hard this was going to be! One of Chris's friends who has a baby about the same age was over and saw I had the book, What to Expect the First Year. He said, "what it should say is, 'in the first three months I will give you HE-double hockey sticks, and a little bit of joy'." Maybe it was the sleep deprivation but I thought that was HILARIOUS!

HOLD ME!!!

We spent Thanksgiving up in the White Mountains with Chris's family. The food was AWESOME!!! Chris enjoyed spending time with his fam relaxing, Skippy enjoyed the attention and table scraps and I enjoyed all the extra arms to help in holding a fussy baby Crew.

Crew video

So, while in Pinetop for the Thanksgiving weekend all the girls in the family went to see the "New Moon" Movie.... Left home to watch the baby my brother and I put this together with his new CanonT-1 . It was fun to play with a new camera.

5 Week Pics

Chris hasn't been getting the job done in the pics department around here. . . Well, at least not of Crew, I should say. He's been really busy with a lot of weddings. . . So I decided to take matters into my own hands. Here are pics I took/edited of Crew at five weeks. The quilts were made by Grandma Cheryl Hughett and the rocking chair is Grandma Sherrie Paxmans.



I think his ticked off face is pretty cute too.

Video debut

It's just a short clip ...and it's just of him making little noises.

-yep...I've already become so disillusioned to think that anybody else cares about random photos and videos of my kid :)

Real Pictures

If you've spent anytime checking out my photography blog you have noticed that I almost never take pictures of newborn babies. It is SO HARD to do and it takes forever and when you tell them to "lift your chin just a little" they will seriously sit there, and ignore you, and not lift their chin a little!

We sure think our little guy is stinkin adorable but we are going to have to work on the modeling skillz...cuz to-date he isn't in love with getting his picture taken...yet....
better get used to it junior, it's part of the job description!
