Emma's Photo Shoot!

Emma and I had a photo shoot this one was her third try. She wanted to blog today so we took pictures. The two pictures below are her first and second tries.

Emma decided to show me what she was reading. When I came to check on her she was laying on a blanket reading Aladdin with a huge pile of books next to her.

The Big Boy Bed

Alex's big boy bed. I got this bed used and thought it was sooo cute. Chris put it together and Alex immediately started climbing all over it and said "mine."

Is it always good to share?

These pictures were taken about two weeks ago. Chris had stepped out of the room and came back in because I was laughing so hard I was crying. I said, "honey, go get the camera and take pictures of this". That little water bottle is the dog's canteen usually attached to his kennel. Alex also has been crawling in the kennel and filling it up with various toys; mostly balls of different sizes.

Christmas 2009

This is a table cloth that can be used in the center of a large table or on a coffee table or end table or just as a wall hanging. I made one for Richard and Jill, one for Chris's grandparents and one for Rebecca and Todd. This was the only photo I got though because everyone else had already left.
Here is a picture of Rebecca holding Alex. His pj's say "What Santa doesn't bring me Grandma will."
I made this table runner for Valeree and Reid. I had this one planned out since June and I looked for the perfect fabric that would match their house well for a month.

I only had these pictures of Christmas on our camera. The rest of the pictures that were taken on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at my parents' house are on my mom's camera and are not yet downloaded to her hard drive because it is a new camera and she has been too busy taking care of three families. She hasn't had the time to fiddle with it yet. So those pictures will probably not get blogged, but I will scrapbook them eventually.

Rockin with Richard!

Alex is playing some tunes with his favorite uncle Richard. I think he mostly takes after me and I'm sure he'll play the oboe when he gets older. In fact, I plan on teaching him reed making next year! Just kidding.

Extreme Closeup!

This is Alex at the beginning of November 2009. At this point in my pregnancy I was feeling pretty good and it wasn't until the end of the month that the enormous pain began. At this point we haven't figured out if Alex gets a brother or a sister. My next ultrasound is on February 10th.

I love to eat!

I decided to let Alex feed himself with Spaghetti-os. It might have been a lapse in judgment.
