Xmas Morning

I missed the best part. Lucy bolted over to shovel the wrapping paper, got to the pile, stepped on some and went flying through the pile onto the floor!

Ummmm.....

Yesterday we were driving back to La Crosse from our xc ski vacation. It was late and Lucy wad tired and refusing to sleep in the van. All of a sudden Lucy said "Hey, can I get a beer?"

Today we drove past our rental and I explained how renting works and that we hope it'll help.pay for her to go to college. She replied "yeah, so I can drink wine. I want to go to college and drink wine. I want to go to college with girls only, girls are the best. Boys don't hit and take your toys."

Ringing in the Holidays

While dancing on the coffee table, Lucy proclaimed "Here's my bell, watch it Jingle!" as she pulls down her pants and shakes her bare butt.

Charlie 8 Month Update

Growth: no updates on the stats this month.  Charlie will have his 9 month well check in January.  He seems to be filling out and is very solid though.

Sleep:  We re-started the sleep training this month as Charlie's growth and eating seemed to stabilize and we physically couldn't handle our lack of sleep anymore. It was going really well and Charlie was starting to sleep through the night...and then he got sick.  He was having breathing difficulties and had be be on an inhaler and prendisone to calm his lungs down.  We are now starting back almost to square one, but the amount of crying was only 25 minutes last night before a long stretch of sleep. 

Eating: Charlie is starting to like green veggies more and still loves his banana type foods.  He can take down almost 2 jars of food when really hungry. He's also working on his pincer grip to get the puffs cereal to his mouth.

Changes: The biggest change this month has been his vocalizations.  He now says "mamamama" and "dadada" which is fun.  He's such a laid back baby that it's really slowing down his progress with mobility I think.  He does slowly move away from the original spot you set him though (and this makes him really mad as he scoots backwards away from his toys and is eventually left with nothing to play with. 


Uh oh, check out that hair!!!


Charlie loves being outside and when he's all bundles up he just holds still and looks around with big eyes.  We've been enjoying having he golf course shut down before the ski season starts.

Charlie with his Godparents.  Hopefully he's not so much trouble that he needs 3!


The dunk.  We have a similar picture/reaction with Lucy.  Charlie didn't cry a bit.


These two just look like trouble...


Awwww.
