Candy Cane Lane

Every year we walk down this street in Rancho Santa Margarita that has been nick named "Candy Cane Lane." This year Stetson got to enjoy as well! Here are this years pictures!

I want a cocoa well!!!!

Snow shoots out from some of the houses!

And the above is a WAY TOO decorated house down the street that I HAD to take a picture of. I think I counted 13 christmas trees or so that were fully decorated! wowza!

Make you smile!

They sure make ME smile!!!!

6 months just hanging

Enjoying a snack of Lucy's play foods. ( croissant and tea cup)

We inherited my grandparents dining room table and gave my in laws our high table ( i hated it...way too fancy for me ) I am so glad to have a normal height table that means something. ( we don't have too much of that in our family ) Troy and I are going to stain it a darker color probably this summer. We also gave our high chair to a pregnancy shelter. It took up a lot of space and we had this other thing ( shown above) that works perfectly! The best part is that Stetson feels like part of the family sitting at the table with us!

The latest obsession with Stetson....babydolls!!! And Lucy was having a hard time with that obsession so my friend Laurie bought Stetson is own to play with!

Random Pictures

We made popcorn over the stove for the first time! Lucy loved it!

We then enjoyed that popcorn with hot chocolate and watched a movie!

Nowadays it is a pretty normal thing to find Lucy with pen all over herself or the walls. Usually a 1-2 year old thing, she is almost 3 ....oh well! It always comes out!

And this little guy is so much to fun to hug and squeeze!

I will leave you with her ankles.....haha.

Stetson 6 months

Note to self : I will post 6 month pictures when the computer gets fixed, but for now I want to document things!

Went to the doc at 6 months 2 weeks and here are his stats:

22 lbs 12 oz

28 inches!

He got his vaccinations and these are the first ones that he actually ran a fever with. He was 102 after his nap the day he got them. Other than that he was fine that night and next day.

He had to get blood drawn as well for allergy tests. He has had excema BAD since about 5 months. Lucy didn't start getting it until way later ( 18 months ) and it started right after we changed formulas and started baby food so I really am interested in finding out if it does happen to be food.

Things to remember about this month:

- Started eating 4 oz of baby food at lunch time

-Started eating a 4 oz dinner baby food at dinner time ( apples and chicken, sweet potatoes and turkey and so on )

-Started eating puffs! Cannot perfect putting them in his mouth quite yet. He gets quite frustrated!

-Started drinking water from a sippy cup! So big of a boy! Tonight he actually drank about 3/4 of the sippy cup and didn't end up wanting his bottle at bedtime! uh oh! NOT what is supposed to happen

- We LOAD him up with Aquaphor morning and night and ever since we started that he sleeps through the night. SO NICE

- We are still on the couch because even though we have a box fan, he is a very light sleeper. Good thing that we just got new couches!

-Wears 12 and 18 month clothes

-Sits up unassisted!

- LOVES crawling! does the lazy crawl, wear he drags his legs, but he definitely gets all around.

-Fell asleep yesterday underneath the christmas tree hugging the tree skirt, butt up in the air. PRECIOUS moments like that !

- Loves when Lucy runs from far away and comes up close to him....makes him GIGGLE so much!

-Switched to Lucys car seat and we had to get Lucy a new car seat. Good thing she is in this next one until she is like 7 or 8.

-Loves baby dolls! In fact my friend Laurie bought him one for Christmas against Troy's wishes! haha!

-Is such a happy boy!
