i love this baby so much

A success!

A week or so ago, I finally decided to try rice cereal for Murphy and it was a huge success! He was totally ready for solids. Today I decided to introduce a new food to see how he would do. I decided to start with sweet potatoes and it went really well. He ate the entire jar! I have a feeling I'm not going to have any eating issues with Murphy...knock on wood!

ready for santa

The cookies are baked and decorated and put out along with some milk and a note for Santa. Also read "Twas the night before Christmas" before bedtime. I think we're all set for Santa's arrival!

murphy rolling over

Murphy has officially rolled over! At 5 1/2 months old, he has finally decided to try and roll over. We are so happy. He is just growing so quickly and accomplishing something new every day. He simply amazes us!

visit with santa

The kids finally had their visit with Santa yesterday. Konnor has been asking me for weeks to see Santa but since he's been sick we hadn't been able to go. I finally felt like he was well enough to not spread his germs to Santa so we went yesterday. Murphy did super well. Did not cry once but it probably helped that he never looked up to see Santa. Konnor was super nervous. He wouldn't do a normal smile (out of the 3 or so photos taken this was the best one of Konnor. Murphy pretty much looked the same in all of them). Konnor super nervous to even talk to Santa. Not until the very end did he finally tell Santa what he wanted. Despite Konnor's nervousness, I think it was a very successful visit with Santa.

too big

About a month ago I pulled this 5T sleeper out for Konnor to wear and I could not get his feet into the sleeper. I thought about just donating it but Konnor really liked it so I just decided to cut the feet off. Konnor has always had large feet and apparently he still does. From now on I guess sleepers are out of the question.

exersaucer time

Murphy is starting to get the hang of the exersaucer. He loves to just sit in it and stare at the toys. He can even push the piano buttons on it which he loves. Soon he'll be running around in circles in it. My happy baby is growing up so fast!

so much love

I am so blessed that my two boys love each other so much already. Here they are spending some quality time together in Konnor's bed. Murphy just loves to stare at Konnor and Konnor loves to make Murphy laugh. I hope these two grow up to be best of friends. I love them so much!

5 months

Wow! Where did these last five months go? Murphy is such a character and is getting quite vocal. He loves to "talk" and loves people. I had to take him to the doctors yesterday because he's still having constipation issues and when we were in the waiting room he would not stop staring at one of the receptionists. It was pretty funny. He's already becoming a flirt! He weighs 18lbs 14 oz. He is also very ticklish esp. on the sides of his belly. He loves to stand up on my legs and he is so very close to rolling over from his back to tummy. He is such a happy and content baby. So very mellow and laid-back. We couldn't be more blessed. 

christmas tree

As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to go to a u-cut Christmas tree farm but every year, we always end up getting one at one of the local grocery stores or from a boy scouts lot. So this year I was adamant about starting a new tradition and off to Stoney Ridge Farm we went. I was super excited and so was Konnor. We found the perfect tree and we even got it shaken and bailed. It is a beautiful tree and as soon as I finish decorating it, I will post pictures of the finished product.
