Christmas Picture

It's impossible to get a 9 month old to look at the camera and smile. This is the best we could get! Still a cute little picture though. I need to get some pictures of him in front of our tree. This one is grandma and grandpa's. Of course ours is surrounded by baby gates to keep out the baby, and the puppy (she can't be trusted these days!!) so it's not quite as pretty. I suppose I could move them out of the way for just a few pictures :)

Thanksgiving is the best for babies who are just starting to eat real food. Mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, and turkey...all perfect for little boys who love to eat, but only have 4 teeth! He was very excited to have all this food at his fingertips. Of course daddy lent a helping hand to make him look even messier! He didn't get that pea on his forehead all by himself. As I look at my son I am truly thankful for all the blessings God has seen fit to give me. I have an amazing husband that I love, and who loves me and our little boy more than I could've ever hoped for. A son who is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. As well as friends and family who are too numerous to name. I am amazed when I stop to think about it, just how wonderful my life really is. God has been SO good to me and my prayer is that I can do enough for him to be even slightly worthy of all I've been given.
