Sleeper McSleeperson

Don't know exactly how he fell asleep like this, but he might just be THAT good of a sleeper! :)
(If you can't tell, his foot is actually wedged.)

Crochetting

I've been working on a blanket for Allister.

My hope is to make a quilt for each of our children (eventually), but I just didn't have the desire to pull out my sewing maching this time around...so I picked up a crochet hook.

I am LOVING this blanket so much that I'm trying to figure out how to make one for Peter and I.

Checking it out...

Hmmm....

"I think I like it!"

Old Shoes, New Shoes

...again, with the nostalgia...
these are Peter's first shoes as a baby, and his newest shoes he bought in Canada. (I'm assuming you can tell which is which) :)

Noise Toys...

...the other exception.

This one belonged in my PawPaw's collection and was given to my Aunt Myra. Aunt Myra, then, gave it to Allister. I played it for him a couple of weeks before Christmas. He really didn't know what to do with it, but seemed to like it. :) I'm thinking this might be the reason he liked The Pig so much!



Thanks for sharing, Aunt Myra!

The Pig

For Christmas, Allister received a noise toy. Just for the record, Peter and I are not a family of noise toys...normally...BUT The Pig is an exception. From the moment he received it and we turned it on, his reaction was CLASSIC!!! (He seriously does this every time the pig is on)

10 Months Old

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

...and in Canada we got just that.

It was so neat to see Allister with the Blaser side of the family for the first time. Just a few pics...

The week went FAR too quick. Lots of time with family, lots of good food...on the agenda for next time, Ice Fishing!

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas!!

Albuquerque Christmas

Before leaving for Canada, we got together with the Stewart side to celebrate.

Allister was very excited.
