When it is cold and snowy we are always looking for indoor activities. I found these fun and cheap ornament, door hanger and Christmas tree kits at Target. Lucas had fun putting them together and they are made with foam stickers which means minimal mess and Lucas can do most of it by himself.
Reindeer Door hangers $2 for a pack of 2.
Last year we scrambled to get a good picture for our Christmas card. While snapping pictures of Lucas by the tree something went wacky with our memory card and we lost a ton of pictures and our memory card was ruined. We used our old camera, but by that time Lucas was no longer willing to pose for pictures. Brian made the comment that next year we should have one of my friends with a nice camera come and take a picture. So, this year I asked my friend Amy, who happens to be our neighbor, if she would mind coming over and taking our picture. She is not a professional or anything, just someone who likes to take pictures, runs a blog (check it out) and has a nice camera. Here are some pictures that are not on the card.
This little boy is sweet, hysterical, animated, strong willed, charming, intelligent and best of all he is mine!
We gave Jackson his first taste of rice cereal last night. He didn't love it, but he didn't hate it either. It's going to take a few tries before he realizes what exactly he is suppose to do with it. Tonight I had a hard time getting him to open his mouth. It had only been about 30 minutes since his bottle so I don't think he was very hungry. Here is a play by play, in pictures, of his first bites.
Lucas had his 3 year well child exam today.
Stats at 3 years, 2 months:
Height - 39 3/4 inches (75th percentile)
Weight - 36.6 lbs (85th percentile)
Jackson is usually not a thumb sucker, but he was ready to eat when I was trying to get all of Lucas' snow gear on. So after about 10 minutes of fussing I heard quiet and found this. Pretty cute, I think.
Lovin' his excersaucer
Lucas fell on a lego at playgroup and cut his eye. He insisted on putting the band aid on himself. After he looked at his handy work he said 'uh-oh, Mommy! I need another band aid. I have another boo-boo.'
