Christmas

Here are some pictures of Christmas... late is better then never, right? (:

New chairs from Grandma:

Deacon loved our Christmas tree (yes, it is leaning) and said "tree" quite often. He always wanted the lights to be turned on and had to tell the tree goodnight when we unplugged it at night.

Playing with the tissue paper on Christmas morning.

Deacon and Livy loved my cousins' dogs! They were a little scared of them, but so interested at the same time. It was fun to see them chase them around and pet them. 

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!

Merry Christmas!

Zoo Lights

We went to see Zoo Lights on December 23 with Grandma and Grandpa Fenwick, Livy, and Emily and kids. It was cool to see, but much too cold to really enjoy. They have some nice displays, but we didn't see many animals. Overall, it was fun to do once, but we may not be going back again unless it is much warmer. 

Shorts

Deacon found some of Matt's basketball shorts and wanted to try them on himself:

This is his cool camo coat that Dad got him for Christmas last year. I'm glad it fits him now because it has been cold!

This kid is starting to climb.... A LOT! Matt found him on top of our kitchen table last week and I found him on a table we have under our tv. I hope this climbing phase doesn't last very long. He did great at his doctor appointment. He is doing really well. He loves to say "cheese" and eat cheese! He has also been saying baby, moo, sock, apple, no, please, and hi a lot. He recently became attached to his blanket. We put it on him for a nap last week and he wanted to keep it with him after he woke up and wants it every time he sleeps now.

His 18-month photo shoot was not his best, but we did finally get a smile out of him towards the end.

                                                                                          

This silly boy kept climbing into his basket and got stuck.

Our family went to visit Great Great Grandpa Burns a few days before he turned 98!

And I went to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 movie with Jill, Amanda, and Jess on Nov 19:

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our little Dinosaur!

Grandma got the kids some cool Halloween flashlights:

Deacon with Daddy:

Deacon is a very funny little boy! He is doing well, except for the last week or two he has decided he doesn't want to eat much of anything. He has a little cold right now, but is still sleeping okay. We hate when he gets sick! He has 3 of his back molars, 4 front bottom teeth, and all of his top front teeth. He is getting so big! He can reach so many things now, including the door to the garage and pantry at Grandma's house. He has recently added the word "please" to his vocab and loves to tell us "no, no, no" 

Picture Update

He loves to put on everyone's shoes.

Cheese Face!

First trip to the Zoo: October 7, 2014

Haircut:

He loves to go on the swing and play at the park.

He enjoys using the hand vacuum and it's so nice of him to help clean up (:

Last bits of summer eating popsicles:
