THE DIGITAL STORY OF THE NATIVITY

My friend Mel, over at The Larson Lingo shared this video and I had to as well!

This is the Christmas Story, if it happened TODAY.

ENJOY!

Happy FIFTH month baby O!

YOU are FIVE months old today!

Youve been learning a lot this month...

Like how to push your chest off the ground when you are on your belly.

You even push with your legs like any second you're going to crawl!

You're going to be just like Hunter aren't you?

You are finally learning to appreciate your car seat....sort of. Maybe I just learned to time our adventures to your schedule

You are grabbing EVERYTHING in reach! You are quite the little octopus. I was trying to put a sleeve on my Starbucks and your little hands were grabbing the cup, I nearly spilled it!

You are still the happiest baby, always smiling and rarely crying. When we walked into previously mentioned Starbucks, there was a group of women sitting there you smiled and made 15 women go "AWWWWWWW" You are quite the ladies man.

I gave you your first taste of rice cereal last weekend, you LOVED it and were bummed when it was all gone.

You are wearing size 9-12 month clothes now...My how you grow!

When I read books to you, I know youre finished with a page when you excitedly kick your right foot. You love to read books with babies faces in it.

You also had your first Thanksgiving! You are such a little turkey.

Christmas is coming up so fast!

You're getting better at sitting down on your own...and you LOVE to stand if someone holds your hands.

You are quite the little chunker! Im impressed you can hold your weight up.

You are almost done being in the bumbo...You spend your time in there trying to get things next to you! Got to grab everything.

I bought you a sound machine and now you are taking the best naps in your crib.

Such a sweet little angel you are.

.

You're the perfect addition to our family Baby O. We all love you so much!

Goodnight Husband. We miss you!

I love having kids.

Its the simple things that make you laugh when you have kids...

I was going through my photos the other day on my cell phone and found these...

 Sneaky and adorable.

I remember which night he did this, because I offered him a quarter to watch Baby O for a minute.

I had to run downstairs to help Hailey.

I love how he caught Owens roll in action.

Ready....

Go!

Doing the super baby!

Nice job Hunter!

Feet!

Left foot, Left foot.

Right foot, right.

Feet in the morning, feet at night.

Wet foot, dry foot.

High foot Low foot.

Front feet, back feet.

High feet, low feet.

Left foot, right foot.

Feet, feet, feet...

How many different feet you meet.

Owen found his feet, and it was love at first bite.

Adventures with Ninny Muggins day 3

Today Mr. Ninny Muggins was pretty busy....

he started the day off hanging out with Belle in her Barbie car.

Hailey seemed to think it was funny, but in all reality she wanted her car back.

I think he got the hint because when we came home from dropping Hunter off he was here.

He stayed there most of the day and got a bit sneaky!

He went into Hunters room and sat on a Bionicles lap!

I think he could tell Hunter was concerned about this because shortly after he perched on the closet

and thats where he stayed.

I think this elf may be a bit to sneaky for my strict little ones.

Elf on the Shelf

DO you have an elf yet?

Read about the tradition HERE

Ninny Muggins joined our family 2 days ago. He showed up while we were out running errands and perched on the shelf. Hailey was so excited to see him and read the story, Hunter was too!

This morning Hunter woke up EXCITED to run downstairs and see where Ninny Muggins had moved to.

Every night he flies to the North Pole to tell Santa if the kids were good or bad. They have been SAINTS since Ninny came to our house. 

So for the month of December, I will put up all the fun we have with our new friend Ninny Muggins.

Day 1, He sat on the built ins and I failed to take a picture. BAD!

and Day 2.

Hunter sent his list to Santa via Elf delivery

 We found ninny this morning on the thermostat with a note from Santa!

STay tuned to see more adventures of Ninny Muggins!
