7 Months Already!

It's been awhile since I've blogged...what can I say? We enjoyed Thanksgiving, quietly and hosted an Officer Trainee from the base. He was a very nice young man & we were happy to be able to fellowship with him. We hope that once he gets privileges, he'll come back so B can smoke some meat for him and he can just relax (and watch some TV)!

I can't believe it, but my little Sugar Bear is already 7 months old!! Where does the time go? I got a great tip from some friends of mine. They suggested that I take his pic on the first of the month, every month, with the same toy/backdrop so we can see how much he's grown from month to month. SO, I'm posting some of Pierce's past and current monthly pics! (Obviously, they start with 1 month and work their way up to 7 months)







Pierce recovered nicely from his ear infections and has now moved onto trying to crawl. He gets up on all fours and rocks...and rocks...and rocks...and smiles...and rocks! He's slowly getting the idea, but when we entice him with a toy, he has quickly figured out that he's long enough to just fall back to his belly and reach for it! Silly Mommy & Daddy! :)

He still doesn't have any teeth, but by the looks of all that drool, they're definitely on their way. You may not have noticed, but our Piercey has a TON of hair and it just keeps growing and growing and getting more and more out of control, so we've decided to quit trying to comb it straight and just let the curls be. He could really care less, but it seems to be a little easier to manage. So, we'll see.

I took Pierce to try to get some pics for our Christmas card, so here are a few previews. He really loves the camera and normally looks right at me when I pick it up. My friend, Kerry helped us out and took a family photo for us. She did a great job...as did her assistant, Sarah! After we were finished with the 3 of us, Sarah joined our family pic. We would have her any day of the week in our family!!





We're looking forward to all our holiday guests and surely, I will blog more often in December, than I did in November. Merry Christmas...only 18 more days!

Again this week, we've had a bunch of friends who were blessed with new babies! Congrats to Lara & Ho and beautiful baby Maddox Yong-min, who was born on Dec 2. He weighed 8 lbs 15.4 oz...let's just say 9 lbs! :) Leslie & Chris had Josephine Maria on 3 Dec. She weighed in at 9 lbs 2 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. And finally, Mark & Sloan had TWINS!! Adelyn Sloan was 5 lbs 14 oz and Mason Saterllee was 5 lbs 9 oz. All moms, dads and babies are doing well! We love you guys and CONGRATS again!!
