This morning I decided to take Brody to see Santa! I was feeling a little guilty since I had not taken him yet...guilt because it is his first Christmas and we still had not made it to see the Big Guy! So we arrived at about 9:50 and they opened the doors to Santa at 10:00. We did not have to wait too long and Brody did great! He of course kept all the people in line in front and behind us entertained! He was showing off big time talking, eating his foot and just being Brody! Santa and his Elf said Brody was one the most beautiful babies they had ever seen...so if Santa says so it must be true, right?! Here is the Santa picture what a show off!
Brody turned 6 months today and boy did we have a big day! It started off snowing and then it was on to get some shots. He ended up getting 6 shots this time because the Doctor wanted him to have the flu shot! He was very brave and hardly even made a peep! He did whimper a little but I gave him a paci and kissed his cheek and he had stopped crying before she even finished giving him the shots. He is growing nice and long...26 inches and Dr Frank said we need to start "fattening" him up. He weighed in at a whopping 14lbs 9oz! So we are on to 3 meals a day with cereal and bottles! As I've said many times, I guess we just have a lean baby on our hands (which surprises me a lot)! She even told me he can start eating "big" people food. Things that are soft like mashed potatoes and peas and such. So now begins a new phase of Baby B's life! We will see how this goes!
I decided that Brody needed a Christmas Tree in his room! I went to Hobby Lobby and was able to find just what I wanted (everything was on sale too...including the tree)! I went with the Camo/Hunting theme! Here are a couple of pictures I snapped while Brody was trying to figure this thing out!
I meant to put this post up a while ago, and I forgot. Now that Kelly is doing Show us your life-Fall Decorations I thought this would get me motivated! So here are the Fall Decor photos and I had to add in the cutest pumpkin of them all! I have gotten all of my decorations at Hobby Lobby over the years and being that I have an October Birthday my sister-in-law and mother-in-law get me a lot of decorations from there! They always have the items on sale. I was just in there the other day and I noticed that they have already put some of the Christmas decorations on sale! CRAZY! My Halloween Village came from Michael's and they too are always marked at least 30% off. Come to think of it...I don't think I have paid full price for any of my fall decorations, Christmas, however is another story but we will save that for another day. I must say I LOVE to decorate and it has been so fun this year having Brody to decorate for! I can't wait till Christmas!
