It has been forever since I posted last. Here are the things that have changed and made it possible for me to (hopefully) begin blogging more.
1. Little Man (L) is basically sleeping through the night every night now.
2. Add to that Mommy not giving in and letting him come in to bed with us at 5am
3. Me waking up when D wakes up for work meaning I am wide away while L is fast asleep and you get a blog post :)
Here are some things that are new in our household.
Meet Holly Swinehart.
One of L's Christmas presents.
They always say a dog is a man's best friend. I think Holly lucked out with two best friends.
She adores D and loves on and plays with L like you wouldn't believe.
It is wonderful...
most of the time.
We also have a HUGE talker on our hands now... and most of it makes sense.
Here are a list of words L says on a regular basis
Dog (he loves that one.)
Shoes
Feet
Book
Cat
Bear
Please
TA and Thank you
Birds
Bath
Mom and Dad
No
Stop
Slide
Rock
Moon
Ball
Plane
James (thomas train)
Thomas
Diesel
Toby
Wooo hooo
Train
One, two, threeeee!
Where'd it go?
all done!
put shoes back
and finally,
belly button (this is the only one that he acts out every time)
see below!

| "Belly button!" |
He is getting to the point of pretty much mimicking every word we ask him to say which is so awesome and he knows that a dog says "ruff ruff" an owl says "Hooo hoot" and the letter A goes' ah ah ah ah!"
On top of that, he is quite OCD about wiping his own hands and mouth after each bite of food!
Moving on...
we are also on the positive side of potty training. L has been one to tell us when he is uhhm...going for quite some time now. So we take his que strip him down and sit him on the potty. He is pretty awesome and we have had 2 successful number 2's and three successful number 1's. Not bad for a 17 month old. :)
Catching up on the holidays quickly: here is our little Turkey this past Thanksgiving.
And a family Thanksgiving picture
Our first Texas winter has proved to be quite amazing (minus this crazy cold front we have right now) Hello shorts in December. I am in love with this weather!
I will leave you with a couple of family Christmas photos since L just woke up for the day!
