More pictures of our little guy. He is growing up so fast I can't believe it... I hear him starting to wake up from his nap...We'll see how long I have. New Year's Day
Brian, Meija, Amelia, and Roman come up to visit for about a week to ring in the new year. We had to spend a lot of time inside because of all the snow storms. We went out to dinner and had a marshmallow war to ring in the new year. It was so fun. Meija was great on New Year's Day and took care of Adam so I could sleep a little longer and I thought her feeding Adam was so cute.Jan 7
Adam likes to try to get into any space that he can.Jan 14Adam loves bath time!He always gets so excited when the water starts running and he hates it when I make him leave the room to get undressed and take his diaper off.Jan 14
This little boy loves his bottle. Once he sees it, that is all that he wants. Sometimes he starts whining and shaking his arms and just can't wait until we give him the bottle.Still Jan 14
That day Adam was driving me a little crazy. He kept getting into the trash and trying to open the cabinets which had things that weren't too safe. I tried to make a road block for him, but it didn't last very long, he just crawled through it... very quickly I might add. That night my parents came over and helped put locks on the cabinets.Jan 17
Yep he gets into everything. So yesterday he was crawling in there again and somehow managed to get in behind the bookcase and was trying to crawl from one opening to another opening and ended up getting stuck. Silly boy.

I found a dresser at DI and my parents helped me clean it up. My brother was great and helped us get it from their house to ours with there van. When Matt brought the drawers up Adam decided that he loved playing in them. I just turned around after helping and Adam had found his way in the drawer...

We spent the day at Grandma's house. Adam found Grandpa's shoe and thought it made a pretty good teething ring. Yep his bottom two teeth came in long ago... his top two front teeth are pretty much in and the ones on either side of those and trying to poke through... soon this little boy will have 6 teeth... he is growing up so fastHe is also a pro at finding drawers and taking things out of them. My bottom 2 kitchen drawers have almost nothing in them cause I find the stuff all over the house. But Grandma's kitchen drawers are cooler, Adam can actually climb into them. I was preparing food and turn around to find this...I'm realizing that it is when I turn around that I get the best pictures of this little guy... but that is also when he seems to find some mischief.Jan 24
Uncle Dave came for a visit. He had a business trip and was able to spend some time with the family. We missed Tammy and the boys, but it was nice to be able to have a family dinner and celebrate a little... Today is Dave's actual birthday! Happy Birthday big brother... even if I don't think you actually read this. Jan 30
DaNae got me a popcorn tin at an after Christmas sale... most of the popcorn is gone, but there is just a little caramel popcorn left so it is still sitting around. Adam carried it around for while, thankfully the lid is pretty tight. Then he decided it would make a good drum. Little boys sure do grow up fast.

Christmas!

So I am finally posting about Christmas... I know it's February and it's way overdue, better late than never. There will be more posts to follow.... I have lots more pictures, even though I feel like I haven't taken very many. I have been trying to get the house clean and organized... it has been a bit overwhelming... it's tough being a mom sometimes. There is always so much to do, right now I should be cleaning but I am taking this chance while Adam is napping to post. Well here are the pictures from December. December 15
We got our Christmas ornaments and Adam got a little bear in a stocking, he thought it tasted pretty yummy! And we got a Santa to add to our tree. Dec 22
Adam loved the Christmas tree.
We didn't put any presents under the tree, except in the old popcorn tins until Christmas morning cause Adam played with the presents when we tried. A few days before Christmas he finally realized that there was stuff on the tree and started to try to pull them off, but most of them were too high.Dec 24

Adam's Loot
He managed to wait until after presents were open to have his bottle, but there was no taking it away from him once he had it.

After spending Christmas morning at home we went to my brother's house for dinner and some more gifts. Grandma shared her chocolate with Adam and he loved it! I am realizing that I need to collect more pictures for our collection. We did the Nativity on Christmas Eve with my parents and we also took a picture of the family walking down the hall on Christmas morning... I know I've seen pictures of these, they were just not taken on my phone, so I will have to find them later.
