And finally Christian

I guess we don't have that many pictures of Christian either...

A year's worth of updates!!!!!!

As you may have noticed, Erin and I pretty much stink at updating our site. I have decided to make it our goal to post at least twice per month. May not be fancy, may not be long, but there will be something. Now a year's worth of updates for Thomas

Christian talks!

Although Christian is now 17 months old, he is stills lacking in his vocabulary. He sure understands words and commands. He has been saying mama, papa, and football for about a month or two. He most recently will say shoes, cheese, fruit snacks and no. He definitely knows what he wants and that is where our trouble of communication is beginning. Here is a short video of one of many attempts to film Christian saying football. He was saying it over and over this day in the tub and I finally got some footage.

Happy Birthday Grandpa

In September, Grandpa Dave celebrated his birthday. Noah was bound and determined that he make a cake for Grandpa's birthday. We frosted it and he decorated it. Then we took it to Grandma June and Grandpa Marvin's house while we visited, we ate cake.

Christian and the Yogurt

Christian has mastered feeding himself with a fork and a spoon, although when he gets tired he resorts to his hands. Here is his first time feeding himself yogurt. It was everywhere, but it was fun. We've also determined that with many tries and attempts, both eating and drawing, Christian will be our lefty. I know many people on my side of the family will be excited to Christian shares this trait.

The garden

Here is the first batch of zucchini and summer squash from our garden. We were able to get 5 batches of zucchini bread out of that one zucchini.
