Happy New Year!

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Psalm 145: 21

Christmas in Louisville

The Hamiltons plus extensions descended on Kentucky for the Christmas Holiday.  A great time was had by all and a big thanks to my brother and sister-in-law for letting us all stay in their home (each family had a room to themselves)!  My brother-in-law was a gracious photographer. 

The Grandparents and their eight grandkids.  (#9 is on the way and will be wearing pink!)

The original six.

My happy boy

Pure joy

"I want YOU" 

Baby's first Christmas and SNOW

The whole fam (minus Jill who was coming down with my stomach bug...boo and sorry! And, Jim should have been in light blue...guess he missed the memo...)

 

 

Nap Time or Play Time?

He was put down awake for his nap with no crying (this time).  I waited to make sure he had time to be asleep before I went to get something.  (We were shacked up in the same room at my bro's house.)  This is what I saw...

This Boy Baby no longer gets swaddled...he is growing up so fast!  Look how proud he is that he completely busted out!  Hat and all!  He also won't really take a paci anymore...it worked for a little while.

Where is Thumbkin?

Ok, so I occasionally peak in on my Boy while he is sleeping...this is what I found one day while we were in Kentucky for Christmas.  Looks like we have a lil thumb sucker on our hands...he actually doesn't find it nearly enough yet. ;)

Dress up

Who says boy babies aren't fun to dress?!

I love these little overalls...I found them at babies r us and sprung for them (on sale for $4.99!) because I thought they were so cute.  We already have a 12 month pair...I kinda wish I would have bought every size in between. :)

Yes, this is what he wore today.  And we even left the house in it.  We've been enjoying high 70s-80s.

How sweet he is

Look at those big, blue eyes.  I am slowly coming to terms that I have a blue eyed baby.  I need to go back to Biology and study the section when you fill in the grid of recessive and dominant traits.  Neither of this kid's parents have blue eyes and blue is recessive!  I do love to look at them and see him tilt his head back with laughter.  He is super sweet and becoming very expressive and observant.  I love watching him grow.  There is still time for those eyes to change... :)
