Merry Christmas!

I told Mumma and Daddy that depsite their opinions that I WAS a good boy and Santa did come visit my house! He left Elliot and I lots of nice presents - even a note thanking me for the yummy cookies and milk. I was a really big helper this year opening presents... who cares what's inside, it's all about ripping the wrapping off! My Mother bought us lame matching Christmas jammies - which I'm guessing is gonna be a tradition, so I had just better suck up and make her happy and smile for the picture. :)

Milk and cookies for the Big Man!

Elliot even "opened" some of his presents....

....laaaame.... Mother....

My new big kid bike from Santa

Christmas Eve - Santa and his reindeer (aka a gazelle) in flight - complete with presents in the sleigh (aka a train cargo car)

Myles is 3!

Okay, so it's about 2 months past due, but gimme a break... I got things to do and people to see....

Merry Christmas to All!

I Will NOT Go to Bed!

....I will go to bed when I'm good and ready... I have no idea where I get my stubbornness from but sometimes it sure isn't very comfortable! :)

O Christmas Tree IV

We finally went and picked out our Christmas tree last weekend... geesh, about time... I found the perfect tree for us at a small farm near my house. The trees are "au naturale" (they're not trimmed my Dad told me) so our tree this year looks really kewl. I told Daddy which one to get and then helped him load it up in the truck.

I tried telling him that the hand saw just wasn't gonna "cut it" (get it...???) and that he needed to go for the big guns, but would he listen to me....???

I told ya.....

Ho Ho Ho....

When Santa asked, I told Santa exactly what I wanted for Christmas this year.... "presents".... ! ...well, duh... what do you think I want Santa!?

It's not Rudolph, it's his cousin, Holly!

School Pictures

Can you believe they now have school pictures for preschool!? Crazy, huh!? Well, my Mom got suckered into buying them... gee I wonder why...

Big Bullys

...nope.... still don't look a thing alike...

Soccer Class

Once a week I get to go to soccer class with Coach Chris. It's pretty fun, we get to run around kicking a ball (which Mumma won't let me do indoors at home) so that's pretty sweet. We work on simple things like running, dribbling, and kicking. My friends Emma, Gavin and Mason are int the class with me and I made some new friends too - like Perrin and Levi. Oh, and I know I didn't really have soccer attire on here, but we had to leave class and head right to my school for my school pictures. Don't worry, Mumma ALWAYS keeps me lookin' kewl... :)

At this class I got to be one of the "sharks" that tries to "eat up" all of the other fish that swim (run) by me. I liked being a shark.....

Frosty

....here he is folks.... the first of several snowmen this winter! Unfortunately, this guy didn't come to life when we put on his hat but he was still pretty fun to make with Daddy.

Just Me and My Brother

Aahh, so little time and sooo much to do! We have been busy, busy, busy! (That's from Frosty the Snowman in case you didn't recognize it... which by the way, is right now one of my favs to watch.) Elliot is now pretty kewl to play with, he can sit in his exercauser and I show him how to play with all of the toys. He had his 4 month check up and is right on track for all of my hand-me-downs! Mumma said that makes her pretty happy! Yehp, so far it looks like he's gonna be a skinny kid like me! He was in the 10-25% for weight but 50% for height.

Are you kiddin' me Mother.... matching shirts .... AGAIN???!!!

These are some pretty sweet hats that one of Mummas coworkers knitted for us

Elliot - 4 Months

Happy Birthday to me.... I'm 4 months old already.... can you believe it!? I am starting to do some pretty kewl things like reach and grab at things and I can even sit up by myself in my Bumbo seat. (I have to give a shout out to Mummas friend Anne for letting me borrow her daughters - thus the lavender color - Bumbo.... thanks!) Oh and I love to have deep conversations too.... I think Mumma has plans to take me to that nasty doctors office where all they do is strip you down buck naked and then start prodding and poking at you. Oh, then just when you think you're outta there, then they jab you with like 6 shots! ....dang... what did I do to deserve this!? I'll give you all of my stats next week.

Tubby time at Grammy and Grandpas house! I just love tubby time.... getting out... not so crazy about that!

Oh The Weather Outside is....

Frightful.....hardly... this is AWESOME!! I could stay out here playing for hours, but my Dad is a wuss and makes me come in cuz HE'S cold.... We got about 6" of lake effect snow today and it's so much fun to play in!! I even took a break from playing to help my Dad shovel. :)

Elliot - 3 Months

Elliot Up Close

Here I am folks... up close and personal! I guess my Mother wants you to be able to see my boogers or something..... I wished that crazy Mother of mine would get that camera out of my face!!! Doesn't she know how bright that flashy thing is!???

Here is also a picture that we had taken about a month ago as an impromptu shot at a small photographers studio when we were in Sturgis visiting Grammy... the picture would have been great if Mumma would have lifted my head up... hello....??? ...that's something I can't quite do on my own (yet)! :)
