New Year, New 'Do...Brubby turns 10 months!

Little raggamuffin Fisher Cole made it his new year's resolution to get his 'do under control. I didn't want to do it this soon, but I agreed that we needed to intervene. At least we got 2015! His hair is just so fine and straight. It also grows to this weird little point in the middle of his forehead. I gave it my best shot...

And it turned out quite nice :)

Bumbo, puffs, and Baby Einstein...we got this!

Angel pie is now 10 months old and is a little bundle of constantly moving sweetness. He crawls all over, especially following his big brother. He pulls up and walks along the couch, kitchen table, toy shelf...etc. He will still say mama and dada at times, but it's becoming hard to get him to cooperate! He waves and claps his hands, loves to pull off his socks, screams when getting his diaper changed, and has an adorable high-pitched chirp laugh that gets me every time!

He's got 4 top teeth, 3 bottom teeth, and another bottom one about to pop through.

He does not like to sit still!

He's still not the greatest sleeper. He's better, though. We still rarely get a full night's sleep. He does take 2 good naps a day. Usually about 2-2.5 hrs each. 

He is eating so much these days! He eats the baby food really well, but he's also been trying more finger foods. He has had bananas, mandarins, peaches, peas, carrots, green beans, and a few bites of a muffin. Tonight he ate like 8-10 carrots, a handful of peas, and his oatmeal. It was incredible. We could not fill his tummy! Growing boy needs nourishment! 

He's also been doing a lot better with his sippy cup lately.

He's had more than his share of sickness lately. In the past couple of months he's had a number of colds/runny nose, 3 ear infections, and RSV. It's been rough. As of right now, we are better! Hoping it lasts for quite a while!

Love love loves his big brother :) 

J went over to him and said "You're my baby", put his arm around Brubby, and sat there watching Baby Einstein. The sweetness!

We love Publix! These two are just the cutest!

It won't be any time at all until we are having a birthday party! I just can't believe it. I'm having so much fun watching these boys grow. I'm forever grateful to have so much time with them. They truly are my lovies!

HoHoHo

I say this each year, but this Christmas was the best yet! We loved watching J as he seemed to really "get" Christmas this year, and sweet Brubby who spent his first Christmas getting into everything and filling our hearts with such joy! These boys totally own me :) We were super busy but had a lot of fun!

We made and decorated cookies...

Had Christmas Eve at the cousins' house...

The reading/singing of Pete the Cat Saves Christmas! "Give it trollllllll"

Said goodbye to Henry and left out some goodies for Santa and his reindeer...

And had such a magical and fun Christmas morning!!!

Where did they go???

Making breakfast casserole and monkey bread...yummo!

J loved his "green i-potty" from Nonny and Poppy!

Watching Planes Fire and Rescue

The boys really enjoyed themselves and love playing with all of their new toys! I said I wasn't Santa wasn't going to go crazy this year, but we are blessed in a way that we can make sure our kids have a special Christmas. I made sure to talk to J about the true meaning and that it is really Jesus's birthday. Not sure if he really got it or not, but we talked about it anyways. I hope I can always get them to see what Christmas is actually about. 

At New Year's, I love to make a collage of the best parts of the past year that seemed to just fly by! 2014 brought us our sweet angel Fisher Cole, Jonah's second birthday and starting preschool, and watching the two of them grow closer and interact in such an adorable way. We are in such a fun stage of life. I hold tight to my babies, but I also look forward to seeing what is to come as they get bigger and can do more things together. Who knows what 2015 will hold. Another baby? Maybe. Hard times? Probably at some point. Good times and great memories? Of course! Bring it on!!!
