December 2008...just one (month) behind.

You know. I would be much more up to date if I didn't have to fight with blogger about my picture placement. Seriously, this just isn't as user-friendly as I need it to be! Okay. Here we go with December highlights.

The cutests baby in the world taking a bath. He's definitely outgrown his baby tub, but as you can tell, I'm a little slow at getting things done!

We (well, Mark still had to work) had a wonderful snow day mid-December. The Y was closed, and we stayed home all day! I think we got 5 inches or so.

Reed got his first taste of "real" food at 5 months. He couldn't decide if he liked it or not. We ended up switching from rice cereal to oatmeal. Personal reasons...he doesn't like for me to talk about it.

Here's a just-because-he's-the-cutest-baby-ever picture for you.

You've got to wonder what babies (and dogs) think about having a tree with bright lights on it move inside the house for a few weeks. I have a feeling that we're going to have to fence it off next year!

Up next...

Christmas card attempts...

After searching everywhere for reindeer antlers for Doc (not moose antlers-which were everywhere!) with no luck. We decided to settle for the elf hat. He does have a large head, but it's apparently not human-shaped. He wasn't a fan of the bobby pins attaching it to his ears, but in the spirit of Christmas, he humored us.

Reed sitting up alone would have helped!

Next attempt...

The cute Santa-baby under the tree. The not sitting alone thing got us again!

(How sneaky!)

So, we went with what he could do. By this attempt he had spit up on the Santa suit, so we were down to just the hat. (Sorry for the small pictures...it's not worth fighting blogger to make them bigger now!)

So there you have it. Stay tuned for Christmas!
