A new week

Saturday night (the night we started solids) was HORRIBLE to say the least! B never really went to sleep until about 3am or so...and then was up with K at 6am (which is out of character for him, as well).

We went to church, but spent the rest of the day at home (minus a fabric run for me!) waiting for the big game!

I made my chili and we devoured that!

During the game, I got my etsy shop up and running! It's dinky now, but there will be more to come very soon!!!

Last night (Sunday night) went SO much better! B did wake at 1 and then 540ish to nurse...The 1am was no big deal...and 540, I just nursed him in bed and we all went back to sleep until 7...very nice!

K climbed out of his crib again today...I am SO not looking forward to putting him in a 'real' bed...but, it has to happen sometime!

I have some long weeks ahead as Zach is now full swing into this semester. He's gone from roughly 730am - 930pm(ish) 3 nights a week...whew! It makes for long days!

K is doing a bit better with his congestion and all - we haven't had to do a breathing treatment since Thursday morning (I think!) so that's good! He's just snotty (lovely, huh?)

I think that's about it for now...nothing super exciting...

Our weekend

I feel like it has just flown by! I'm not even sure what all happened, except we just stuffed ourselves with my chili. We pretty much finished Christmas shopping. I swear, next year, we will NOT wait this long. It's driving me batty!

Keaton said some new words this weekend...
"gotcha" :)
Unfortunately, I can't remember the rest right now :)

Benjamin is super close to rolling over! I have to stop cheering when he's so close, it keeps scaring him (OK, I'm getting excited and ok with this milestone!)

This week, we will finish up Christmas shopping, have Benjamin's 4 month appointment (see below) and we'll head to VA for a quick, Christmas celebration on Friday. whew.

Picture Time!

Yes, you're looking at this picture the correct way. B thought this was comfy. How do I know? He slept for an hour like that?? (Dr. Davis - are you wondering why he won't nurse on one side?! haha!) P.S. - Check out the thigh rolls....love it!

Zach practicing for Sunday morning service...sorry, "practicing"

Not sure what was above him as the tree is only a couple inches taller than he is, but I love the look of amazement :)

I was trying to be creative...eh...not so much

I think "TAAAAIN" (train) was coming from his mouth...I think...?

How to make your mama proud!

Atleast how Keaton does it anyways...

This mama is a huge football fan, particularly, college football. I am a die hard UVA & UNC fan, however, there are other teams that I really enjoy watching, one of those being Alabama. Yesterday, was an AMAZING game versus Auburn (where Auburn didn't score a single point...wonderfulness!!!) So, what would any mother teach her son? How to say "Roll Tide", of course! K doesn't have it down perfect, but there's a destinct "oll ide"to it! And if nothing else, if I say, "Roll Tide!" He throws his arms in the air and says, "YAY!" haha!!! (For my MTSU'rs, we're working on "Go Big Blue") ;-)

I made chili again today and the weather finally coorporated with me! It was so cold and rainy and yucky - perfect chili weather! Keaton made me proud once again, by saying "yummy yummy" after most bites. He impressed us with "Bean" and pointing to beans! And calling his spoon a speen - close enough (Roll tide!)

I have also, gasp!, decorated for Christmas!!! I even did this....before Thanksgiving Day! I guess to make up for the fact that we have done absolutely NO Christmas shopping! haha

I think that's the news from here...

Finally, some long awaited pictures :)

"Hello" from B! Check out the thighs! ;-)

My sweet Sweet Pea

Our "tree" (tee) with lights (liiiiiii) ;-)

The stocking were hung by the ...bookcase?

Zach joining in on the babywearing fun ;-)

Our little Santa!

Experimenting with the camera...you might get a cavity from how sweet this picture is!

haaha.....love it!

Beans, Beans, good for your heart OR When good foods go bad!

I'd been planning for weeks to make chili...Mid-October, should be perfect, right?? Yeh, well, it ended up being 80 degrees today! We still ate it & it was amazing (if I may say so!)

We weren't sure if Keaton would like it or not but, why not give it a try...
All was going well until he rubbed his chili covered hand in his eye!!

Despite the incident, he went on to eat 1.5 bowls of it!!! Made me so happy to know he enjoyed it!

Sunday afternoon, Zach had a bit 'o fun with Benjamin and his burp cloth...

Then Keaton had fun...
