Merry Christmas!!!

7 Months and Counting

Our little One-Tooth-Wonder has turned yet another month old. I think I say this every time I post, but where the heck does time go?! 7 MONTHS ... SERIOUSLY!

You will have to ignore our yucky un-made bed in all of the photos. Since we took our place off the market, Eric has gone a bed-making strike. As the lazy bum got up way after I did (and may I add still does), it was his daily chore (for 1yr & 5months) to make it ... and he complained every day! Well needless to say, he has won this small battle for the time being of not "fully" making the bed (he does not have to put our comforter on and all 12 pillows).

This time next week we will be in sunny Florida, likely eating sand! We can't wait ... we just have to make it thru the holidays. Its going to be a short trip but a ton of fun :) I might even get a tan (NOT)! Who has time to layout in the sun with a 7 month old?!

Santa Clause is Coming to Town!

Santa came to town and actually had time to stop by my work on Saturday :) We took Deegan because our picture with Santa at Walmart looked horrible. I think they found 2 people in the back stock room and said to one that had a big belly ... "yes, you will do ... be Santa" and they handed the other person a camera and told them to capture the special moment. HA! That certainly did not happen!

Deegan had no problem with Santa like some of the other kids ... he actually was trying to eat his beard. YUMMM!

I think Deegan is looking at Santa and saying to himself: That is a LOT of facial hair ... my daddy cannot even grow a mustache much less a full, fluffy beard.
Lydia, my coworkers daughter who is only a few weeks younger then Deegan, came to see Santa too. Bug just wanted to rip that cute little flower off her head. Talk about an attractive nuisance!!!

So we have a pile-o-toys in our living room right now and actually have to buy a storage ottoman to hide them all but the kicker is Deegan is not interested in toys. He likes everything but toys ... you always want what you cannot have (he is baby Tiger Woods)!!!

This includes Mommy's work badge.

And our measuring spoons!

Christmas Pictures!!!

Not much to say except that we have the cutest kid EVER! OMG!

What is my name?

Poor Deegan has no idea what his name is: Bug, Loves, Nugget, Deeganater, Handsome ... but usually never Deegan. But the good news is that he does know Mama and can say it! YIPPEE! Sorry daddy, but you should have talked about yourself in 3rd person for months.

We got Bug a sweet new hat and he looks so stinking cute in it ... we just had to share!

Now that he is getting teeth (we have 2 so far), he loves to bite the spoon as we feed him. He has been the craziest eater. First, he went on a bottle strike for a couple days ... that was fun because he got dehydrated. The Dr. recommended that we only feed him the bottle and skip the rice cereal and solids. Apparently he got smart and decided that food tasted better then the milk he has been drinking for 6 months! Well, we got him back on track with the bottle and now he is being picky with his food. He has always hated fruit and only when he is starving will he eat it. We try at least once a day to make him eat it but the sour-puss look on his face and the gagging put us off. He loves his yellows: squash, sweet potato's, carrots ... but we do not want him turning yellow! He also likes green beans but hates peas (I think they taste the same, but what do I know). Eric tried the bananas himself the other day and sided with Deegan that they are nasty! I hate banana's too so I believe them both :)

This is our new bird-lip face. Bug sucks his lower lip in and will just sit there. It is pretty funny! Please ignore his outfit ... daddy picked it out and he looks like white trash (in his defense, he was warm on the cold day).
