My First Christmas Tree

I put the Christmas tree up on Thanksgiving evening, however, I didn't get it or the house decorated until Friday. I had all of the house decorations up and I was puting decos on the tree when Treigh finally realized that there was something big and green in the living room and he might be a tad bit interested in it. He was very cute as he approached the tree, he just politely touched the branches. He didn't bother anything except one bunch of berries. There are several different bunches, but he only wanted one certain bunch. After we told him no a couple of times, he was fine and just went on playing with his toys. He has bothered the same bunch a couple other times, but doesn't bother anything else. We assumed that he would try to pull the whole tree down...I guess I should knock on wood.

WOW!

This is kind of prickly!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving at our house Thursday. Rich's dad, sister and her family, and my mom all came over for the day. The meal was very nice, and as you can see below, Treigh was his normal happy self all day.

All decked out for my first Thansgiving.

I am a big boy now, I can stand on my own...for a few seconds!

Gettin' ready for my first "big person" meal.

That silly mommy really earns her name!

I had mashed potatoes, noodles, green beans, and we can't forget the sweet potatoe casserole. Mommy said that I did a great job with the "big" food! As you can see here, I love feeding myself now. mommy only really lets me once in awhile. She says it too measy...I guess I should tell her that babies are messy!

Deal'em

The other night daddy was getting ready for his card game and thought that I needed to play my first hand. He just didn't understand why I like putting them in my mouth...


I did beat him in this hand...however, he's yet to pay up!

Pics

Who would have thought that there would be more pics of me...

Mommy posted this pic because she thought that I looked like a "big boy"...I try to tell her all the time that I am a big boy!

When mommy cooks or does dishes, etc. I love playing in the kitchen drawers.

Another thing I love to do is stand up. Here mommy caught me playing with daddy in their bed. Daddy always comes and gets me in the mornign when I wake up and lets me play.

Okay, not one of my finer moments...Yes I am asleep in the bathtub. Nedless to say, i had a rough day.

Love to all,

November Bunko

Here's the WHOLE gang at Nov. bunko. It was so nice that Christie iand the girls got to come down from Chicago. This is the first time that ALL of us have been together at one time.

~Christie, Lauren and Katie (twins) ~Stephanie and Dane ~Me and Treigh ~Sarah, Ian,and Hannah
Needless to say, we didn't get much bunko played!

All the moms were acting crazy...I think they wanted us all to smile or something??

Growing and on the go go go!

I just wanted to update everyone on what is new in Treigh's world. Like a said in a previous post, Treigh is crawling now. He can go anywhere, and fast...I was doing laundry the other day and I took some clothes into our room. When I came back out into the hallway, I peeked around the corner into Treigh's bathroom and Treigh had pulled open a drawer, pulled up to a standing position at the drawer and was empting the contents onto the bathroom floor, obviously smiling the whole time! He favorite thing to do now is pull up an stand. He has even started moving a little bit around the couch...I told Rich today that he is going to walk before he gets his first tooth.

Rich took Treigh to his six month check-up today...obviously I know he is seven months old, however we had to reschedule his previous appointment because he was scheduled for shots and he had been on an antibiotic. Antibiotics and shots don't mix. Anyway, he is still growing. He weighs 22 pounds and is 28 1/2 inches long. This might be why people have asked me if he was about a year old...lol! The look on their faces is priceless when I tell them his real age!

My 1st Halloween

Here I am on my first Halloween. Mommy said that I was the cutest little stinker she had ever seen. I had so much fun going around and seeing people...Old ma and Old Pa, the Lund's, the Hartman's, the Shields', and Grandma. My grandpa, Aunt LuAnne, Uncle Brent, and the kids came up to see me too! A big thanks for all of the goodies...there's nothing like a good zwiebach toast or biter biscuit...yum yum!
