Christmas pictures

We went and had our Christmas pictures done on Nov. 15th. We get our pictures done at Lundies Photography by Photographer Candia. Timmy was very fussy the day we went and had them done and we thought for sure that we were going to have to do another photo session but to our surprise they turned out great! To look at the pictures you would never know that Timmy was very fussy that day. The pictures are on order now and we are getting a couple of them on disc so we will post them as soon as we get them.

Santa v/s Grandma

Nan bought this for Timmy and he got to wear it for the first time today. I wanted to be sure to post a picture of him wearing it for his Nan to see. He wore it proud Nan!

TSO (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) Concert

For my birthday my mom got us all TSO tickets. It was my first time to get to see the concert. I had heard how great the light show was over the years but had never had a chance to go check it out for myself. The light show was phenomenal! We all had a great time watching the show. Scot and I were both surprised at how well Timmy did. We were expecting to have to take turns with getting up and walking with him but he did great!!! He loved the lights and watched most of the show. He took a short nap half way through the show and then he was ready to go again. Tristan (my sister's little boy) on the other hand was on the move the whole time. Getting him to sit still was hard and eventually my mom and Gina just went up top with him where they could walk around with him and still see the show. It was the opposite of how we thought it would be with the kids but regardless the show was a blast. TSO really puts on a great show. It still doesn't compare with the TSO Christmas Concert that Living Word (our church) used to do. We have some great vocalist at our Church that are better than the TSO vocalist by far!!! It's too bad :-( that our church doesn't do the concert any more b/c I really prefer them over the TSO concert even though TSO was great. If you have never seen TSO in concert and they are coming near where you live be sure to go see them. You will love everything they do and it's well worth the price you pay to see the show.

Q: A Mini Van v/s A Sprinter? Which do you think won?

A: The Sprinter of course.

This is what happened to our work truck yesterday morning when some idiot driver that was late for work couldn't see a mile long line of stopped traffic with the Sprinter being the last vehicle. He was driving too fast and lost control of his vehicle and of course it was an old van.

Minor body damage to the Sprinter. The front of the mini van had to be replaced. There is something to be said for large vehicles.

"You couldn't see this...They can see it from space."

Sitting

This afternoon I thought I'd try letting him sit without my help. He did good for his first time sitting by himself. He's still not stable enough to do it for any long period of time but with practice he'll get there. Here are some pictures of him sitting. He's such a big handsome boy!!!

Playtime This Morning

Here are some pictures from playtime this morning.

Timmy loves having all his toys around him.

"Which one do I want to play with first?"

"I think I will play with my butterfly. It makes neat sounds that I like."

Snow!!!

We had snow flurries earlier today. It didn't last long but it sure was exciting to see. Here's a picture of the snow that my friend, Deanna Laughinghouse, took. It sure would be nice if we get to see a White Christmas this year?!

Reaching

Timmy has toys on the tray of his high chair. Tonight for the first time Timmy reached for them and got one. He picked it up and sat back in his chair as if it was a normal thing to do and started playing with it. It was so cool to see him do that. We cheered him on and are so proud of him. I'm hoping the next time he does that I can catch it on camera so all of you can see it too?!

More on shots

I forgot about these pictures. These were taken at the Peds office the day he got his shots.

Shots

We have been blessed that Timmy hasn't been fussy or ran a fever from his shots up until now. This is the first time that we have had to deal with him being fussy and running a fever from his shots. He has wanted to be close to me and I've let him. I can't believe he wasn't fussy or had a fever the other times he got shots?! I mean, he fussed when he got them but that was it. They poke him four times in his legs. It's awful to have to watch :'-( but he needs his shots so it must be done. Some people spread their kids shots out over several visits but I think that is more torture than just getting it over with in one visit. Of course the draw back to doing them all at once is that they can tend to be more fussy which has been the case this time. Thank God for Tylenol! It helps a lot when they are fussy and running a fever from their shots.
