Elf Yourself ~ Day 243

For the first time ever I did one of those Office Max "Elf Yourself" videos.  Boy was it fun!  I decided to pay the 5 bucks to download it.  I think we may do a new one every year.  I think it would be neat as a little tradition... and a great laugh for years to come!

Winter Lights ~ Day 224

This year we went for the first time to the Winter Lights celebration our town has annually.  It was cold!  The kids really enjoyed it though and got to sit on Santa's lap!

  She was so excited to see Santa and then froze when she got on his lap.  Dell?  I think he had no idea what to think!

 Starting to cry just as sissy is getting brave and looking up. Haha!

Day 154

Sensory play with pudding!

YUM!

That was fun Mommy!

Mom N' Me ~ Day 87

My boy & I!

I'm linking up today with Southern Reflections for Meet & Greet Monday.

Feeding The Fish & Rednesday ~ Day 82

Tonight after dinner we took a walk to the pond.  

We brought along some stale buns to feed the fish.  Kensington just loved this!

 Dell always enjoys a ride in the wagon too!

I just LOVE this face he is making! 

Props to my hubby for this fantastic capture!

We played "Super Baby", a game Dell's big sister always enjoyed.

Holding hands... melting Mommy's heart!

Headed home for baths & bedtime.  What a beautiful night!

I'm linking up today with It's A Very Cherry World for Rednesday!  Such a cute idea!

Wordless Wednesday

Hope everyone enjoys their Wordless Wednesday!

(Taken in April, Dell 4 months old)

For more wordless Wednesday go here.

Also linking up with Mrs. Claus here!

Mommy & Me Time ~ Day 74

Mommy & Dell got to have a little quality time 

today, while his sister napped.

 

He tried avocado for the first time.  Not sure he liked it

but he sure had fun playing in it!

Then he enjoyed story time in his crib. 

Check out all that drool trickling all the way down to his tummy!

 

 He looks so proud of himself!

 

Adventures In Crankiness ~ Day 67

Teething bites!

That's the saying, right?

Well it's true.

Teething infant & cranky toddler 

(do they need a reason other than "toddler"?) 

equals Mommy is going insane!!!!

So off for a walk we went.  To the pond.  To feed the ducks.

Only.  There weren't any ducks.  Oops.
( In case you couldn't tell she's not too happy about this.)

 Regardless the change of scenery & a little exercise did seem to make a difference.

A little yawn....

   

Soon some blank stares....

and a little creativity...

and we were headed home for lunch & nap!

Blog Hopping!

My boy has my eyes!

And I just love it!

I'm linking up today with Julie over @ The Peanut Gallery...Exit Here.
She created Mom N' Me Monday in an effort to encourage herself &
other moms  to step out from behind the camera & move in front of it!

The Third Month

Dell's third month.  He's growing so fast!

 Stretch!

Getting a bath from Daddy & Poppaw Nichols. 

Dell loves bathtime!

Someone is getting ready for the Easter Bunny!

So peaceful.

 

We have been seeing lots of smiles lately!  He is a happy boy for sure!

 

Getting some lovin' from our pooch Besty

I LOVE this picture.  

The expression on his face cracks me up!  His sister was reading to him, which is adorable all in itself.  He just looks perturbed to be in all pink surroundings!  

Hard to tell from this photo, but this little guy loves his baths.  

They completely chill him out!

 

Daddy's Little All Star!

One of my favorite pictures of me & my little man! 

 

 Wearing his reindeers ears hat.  He looks totally amused!

Wearing his BabyLegs.  So handsome!

Ain't that the truth!

How can you not fall in love with that smile?  Impossible!

 

Ready for food already??  No.  Just getting a new perspective on things.

I just love how his finger is hooked on his nose!

A little spike going on!

 

Handsome little dude rocking a turtle neck Daddy picked out!  

This was my rocking chair when I was a little girl.

In lieu of professional photos, I tried my hand at an impromptu photo shoot

 to mark him turning 3 months.

 

He was happy to play along!

Picture perfect

 Silly boy!

I think he knows he's handsome!  Gonna be a heartbreaker this one!

Meeting Great Granny Sibyl for the first time ever.  Whenever we come she always cooks us a nice dinner.  How sweet!

Meeting Grandpa Clarence

Getting snuggles from his Mommaw!

Meeting Great Mommaw & Great Poppaw.  I adore this photo of them.  

Such a lovely couple!

A group photo of Poppaw & his grandkids!

The kids with Uncle Christopher.  They always love to have him around.

Mommaw with all three grandbabies!  I think she's in Heaven!

Bathtime in the sink!

  

Cute new outfit. Great little grin!

 Look @ that roly poly belly!
