Hip Hip Hooray for MLK

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:  "We hold these truths to be self-evident:  that all men are created equal."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We've enjoyed a nice 3 day weekend

 Life is Hard!

Mommy and Daddy had a date while you stayed with your favorite buddies

We love spending the weekends together as a family, even if its just taking a trip to Publix we have so much fun!  

The BEST things come in small packages...

This week you received two packages from GJ and Pops!  Look what happened when you saw the first one..

 You crawled right over and pulled yourself up and started drumming away

  

The next one was much bigger... "Don't think I can get up that one!"

 We had fun playing with the box

Why buy toys!!!

Buddies

You are crawling so good now and tonight I wanted a good video of my bubba moving but instead I captured the BEST video of my little buddies...


Now that is so precious

Welcome 2012!!

We had fun bringing in the New Year with GJ and Pops in NJ!!  Happy 2012!

Saying goodbye is always hard... See you March!

We started our New Year cleaning and organizing the entire house!

We started with your playroom...

You have a blast playing in here now!

A clean and organized house makes both mommy and daddy happy :0)

1.  You started crawling!!  Before Christmas you popped up on your knees and started rocking then over break you took your first moves there's no stopping you now


You've got it!!

2.  You can feed yourself puffs, and GJ taught you how to drink from a sippie cup you stick out your tongue and reach for more

3.  Drinking a bottle can be something else... you either put both hands behind your head and drink like a king or you will pull, pinch, or whack like a boxer while you're enjoying your bottle

4.  You got your first haircut/trim

5.  3rd flight this month to celebrate your first Christmas

6.  You love water and baths, you love to sit in the tub or sink and play and splash with your water toys, be careful of the splash zone

7.  Everything and anything goes in your mouth!!  We have to be very cautious now :0)

8.  You are very alert and observant you take everything in everywhere we go, we just love watching your little personality shine through!

You're our sweet, funny, adorable, happy, lovable, little Bubba!

We love you so much
