Christmas Wreaths

Sora & Olivia had their friends RaeLynn & Tina over. So what better to do than a craft, right? So I saw this idea on-line (not exactly sure where) on making Christmas wreaths out of paper. It looked rather simple and fun. Plus I liked how the end result looked (at least on the website I saw). Now actually doing the project took a little more time than I thought and well not so easy for the in-experienced girls. But all in all their wreaths turned out nice. Although there were burnt fingers from the hot glue gun. Oops!

So you cut these little circles out. Of course I wouldn't do it if I didn't have my handy dandy cricut.

Then you fold the circles like so.

Then you stack the folded pieces in fours one inside the other.

Then glue it on a large round circle. And well this is kind of what they are supposed to look like.

After the friends had to leave. Sora and I decided to work on another project, tissue paper trees. Saw this on my sister Dacia's blog. Olivia was too tired and went to sleep so Sora & I stayed up until wee hours in the morn making our trees. Really time consuming. But her tree turned out cute!

Obstacles

Like I said, he just refuses to go around. So up and over it is.

Even if it makes him unhappy.

Silly boy!

Big Eyes

Just had to post this because I love how big my baby's eyes are.

His eyes are still beautiful even when he's not happy with me.

A woman's weakness?

Because what woman doesn't love shoes . . . right? Buy one get one free that was the deal, so I had to get a pair of heels and boots. Love them!

7th Birthday - Trina

Happy 7th Birthday our beautiful grand-daughter, Trina.

*Pictures taken Saturday, December 11, 2010*

Watching our baby grow is so much fun! It's mesmerizing to watch his mind think. I never grow tired of watching him. He is so inquisitive. He's also very strong. As you can tell from this picture of him hanging on to the shelf. He loves to climb and it seems like he never tires. He just keeps going and going.

I love his big eyes and his beautiful, captivating smile.

He's such a funny baby. He does not go around things. He will go through and over but not around. It's almost like he enjoys a challenge and would rather take the harder route than the easier one. Wonder if this is a sign for the future.

Most of all I just love him with all my heart! What a blessing!

Mean Little Guy

Well at least that's the way it looks. Oloiso looks like he has this smug little look on his face and he's crawling away like he just did something to Brielle. And poor Brielle has tears down her cheeks.

Ahhhh.

Well now they are playing together. Little stinkers.

There is definitely a difference between boys & girls.

5th Doctors Appt

I guess I didn't blog about his 4th doctors appointment. Maybe because I didn't have pictures so I'll just put his stats in here for my journal purposes.

Age 4 months 1 day

Weight 11.87 lbs (3.83 Percentile)

Length 23.5 inches (6.77 Percentile)

Head Circumference 15.75 inches (6.35 Percentile)

The below pictures are from his 5th doctors appointment that was supposed to be done at 6 months but I didn't get him in until he was 8 months. Oops!

Age 8 months 8 days

Weight 15.12 lbs (0.8 Percentile)

Length 26 inches (3.52 Percentile)

Head Circumference 17.25 inches (19.12 Percentile)

Okay well maybe he isn't growing in length and weight but at least his head is growing. Big Head!

Waiting to get his shots.

This little boy is so strong. Got his shots, let out a yelp and that was it.

He must be strong like his mommy.

His cute little thick thighs all poked up like he was a pin cushion.
