Corban is 9 months old!!

Oh my goodness the past nine months have been so much fun with this sweet little guy!!

• 21 lbs - at dr appt last week
• wearing mostly 12 month clothes
• almost crawling.......so close but hasn't quite figured it out yet!
• can scoot and roll to get what he wants :)
• claps hands and plays pat-a-cake
• has just begun playing peek-a-boo with story books that are lift the flap
• "talks" all day
• adores Anna Kate!!!
• loves to pull on Sophie (Sophie has been so tolerant of both children!)
• reading and bath time are his favorites!

Please say a little prayer for our precious Corban. He will be having an MRI on Thursday of his brain. His head circumference is a little off the charts and the dr wants to know why. We just know it's because he's so smart ;)

Fun over Christmas break!

I was lucky enough to have 2 full weeks off over Christmas and enjoyed every minute with my sweet babies! We headed back to Beaufort the day after Christmas to visit again with Rob, Joanna and Tucker. Anna Kate had a great time playing with all of Tucker's Christmas presents!

We also did a lot of playing at home. We got a chance to do a little shopping with Tay Tay on Monday. We went to Old Navy......

Which one of these isn't quite like the others???

We had a wild New Year's Eve (ha!) that included having dinner at Nanny's and then we headed over to Mason's house to roast marshmallows!!

New Year's Day Anna Kate and I met Melisa and Abby at the movies to see Frozen. It was a really good movie. It's the first time Anna Kate and I have been to the movie theater together and she loved it! Especially the popcorn, drink and gummies!!

The rest of the break we just hung out and around the house. It was so nice! Aunt Carol and Uncle Bennie came to visit one afternoon. Let me just say......they are troopers! Whatever Anna Kate's asks them to do....they do it!

Christmas 2013

We had such a great Christmas this year! We had a very busy week last week and are really enjoying having this week off at home.

On Monday we headed to Beaufort to meet up with friends for dinner. It was so nice!

We headed back to Greenville on Tuesday for the Christmas Eve service at church. It was great. It was a wonderful time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas: The birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  My parents and brother came back with us and we cooked dinner and made cookies for Santa. We got a few good pictures of the littles before they went to bed in their Christmas jammies! AK was beyond excited!!

Christmas morning Anna Kate was up first. Corban actually decided to sleep in a little! She was so funny coming down the stairs. Her mouth literally dropped when she saw what Santa brought. She wouldn't touch anything for a long time. She just stood and stared. It was so funny! 

Santa stopped here!!

Bryant's family came over for breakfast and then we opened presents at our house. We then headed over to Nanny's for lunch and finished up our evening at Grandma's, opening more presents!! These 2 little ones are very blessed!

Anna Kate's 1st Christmas Program

Anna Kate's preschool put on a Christmas concert last week. They combined the 3's and 4's for the show. It was great! Everyone sang all of the songs and nobody got too upset. We were very proud of our littler performer!!

Abby did a great job too!

I hate we didn't get a better picture of our family that came to see the girls.....we had Mrs. Betty, Aunt Carol, Mimi, Grandma, Nanny and Pa!

So thankful for the Christmas season!

Breakfast with Santa!

We went to Breakfast with Santa on Saturday morning. Both of my babies got in Santa's lap with no tears! In fact, we were talking with some other friends and AK took it upon to herself to climb up in Santa's lap on her own. She was on a mission! Last year she sat in his lap but would not look at him!

Jolly old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way.......

Don't you tell a single soul what I'm going to say!!

Who is this guy??

I think I like him!
