A couple of firsts and brotherly love

Levi in his first pair of jeans

Timber!

Levi also in his first ballcap

Oh, there you are!

Little ham

Last night Jacob wanted to hold Levi

I thought this was funny that they both had their mouths open 

{they are probably saying, "ahhh, no more pictures mom!"}

Love these little people!

Friday Funny

Ya'll, this made me laugh!!  Had to share!

It's Cold Outside

Love Jacob's new hat.

$5 from Old Navy, came with gloves too - can't beat that!

Thought it matched his coat perfectly!

Guess this is his new thing... one good smile and one little stinker smile.  :)

Love you Mr. Big Boy!

Rice Cereal... it's what's for dinner!

Ok, so it took longer than we anticipated... we didn't get around to rice cereal until tonight.

This look says, "what is that stuff?"

"Hmm... maybe it's not so bad."

Ready for more!

"I think I'm gonna like this!"

The boys

Well we introduced another big-boy toy to Levi, the exersaucer!

Love that he looks like he's chillin'.

Later on, I saw this!

Um, excuse me Levi, what is that in your mouth?  

Oh no you didn't!!!

Jacob wanted his picture taken too.

Such a handsome little fella.

Then he said and I quote, "take my picture with this face."

{he is such a stinker, I tell ya!}

Oh, and Levi has started doing this lately.

As soon as he sees that bottles he wants it!

We can't get it to him fast enough!

We are going to introduce rice cereal today.

Cannot wait to see his reaction to that!

Our tree

So I thought I would share what Christmas looks like around our home.

This was taken obviously during the day, and as all trees, it looks much better at nite.  I think I go a little overboard on ornaments.  But I can't help myself!!

{I started to move the jumperoo, but just keepin' it real.  ha!

Oh, and another year I don't have a tree topper.  I can't find any I like}

I want to invest in monogrammed stockings and I say invest because they are expensive.  I think I'll get my monies worth since we'll use them every year, but I wanted Levi to have his own (as did Jacob at his first Christmas), so hopefully I'll do it next year.  I really do like the ones I got for us, they're from Big Lots of all places.  Here's a closer look at Levi's.  It says Baby's First Christmas 2010.  This will be added to all his other keepsakes.  

Here are a few of my favorite ornaments.  Can you tell I love personalizing? :)

{hope we don't have any more kids, ha!}

And here is one that is 26yrs old.  I made this in the 2nd grade.  

My mom gave it to me a few years ago, so glad she kept it.  Considering only one eye is missing is pretty good!  (i should fix that!)

I cannot wait until the boys bring home home-made ornaments from school!

Or anything else for that matter!  

Is there anything cuter?

Than these hats?  Well maybe these hats on Levi!  :)

Love love love putting these hats on babies!

*the first was Jacob's

*the second is my nephew Luke's

*the third I bought this year

I could eat him up!
