So Many Changes!

A little spitfire at 17 lbs! Dynamite comes in small packages! He does not walk, he runs... EVERYWHERE! He is so curious too. Always opening everything he can, pushing and pulling things that move and "hiding" things. I have started teaching him to pick up his toys, so when he places a toy back in the toy box, I clap for him. He took that and applied it everywhere. He will take a toy and put in his drawer and then clap for himself! It is so cute! However, now I find his shoes in the potholder drawer, my keys in the bathtub and so on. Another new development is his first word other than mama, dada, baba and nana... Duck! It actually comes out Guck, but it is so cute! He had started saying ga ga ga. You know, "G"'s so I got out his rubber duck and now he runs around holding the duck saying "Guck! Guck! Guck!" Silly baby! He is also being weaned off bottles and mostly drinks out of his sippy cups. I couldn't love anyone more! He is my greatest accomplishment!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Love Mommy

He is also obsessed with headstands! Gotta love it!

Big birthday boy!!!!

Christian had his first birthday party at the fire station that Pappy and Gumba work at. It was so funny to see him interacting with everyone. He was walking all over the place and visiting. It was like he knew everyone was there just for him. Very cute. He got so many presents. But the best present he got was the love from all who know him.

Last weekend we all went to the coast for an early Thanksgiving with Pappy's family. We had a great time. Christian was in a great mood even after the 4 hour car ride! Of course I was sitting next to him in the back seat so got to make him giggle a lot and hold his hand while he slept. He enjoyed eating everything but did not want to sleep much. Nicole and Bryan were worn out by the time we headed home.

Again, thanks for dropping in and checking on us. We appreciate it so much.

Christian is 1 !!!!!

Yesterday our little man turned 1! We are so excited. Christian would just cut eyes at anyone who sang Happy Birthday to him. It was pretty funny. Pappy dropped by and gave him a cool ball that rolls by it's self and plays music. He liked that. I am finishing up a quilt for him. It is all bright colors and jungle animals. He went to his other grandma's for a special dinner last night and got some awesome and yummy looking cupcakes. I have attached the picture Grandma Sharon sent to me. Enjoy!

If you happen to be in the area tomorrow, November 15th, stop by the Sisters Fire Station for his big birthday bash.

Halloween 2008!

Adorable cannot even begin to describe baby Christian this Halloween! He sure was a HOOT! OK OK I know that was a lame joke.

Christian came out to see Gumba and Pappy and go to the fire stations annual carnival where Pappy was working. He had a great time but was very tired and got cranky.

I hope you all enjoy these pictures. He is sure getting fun to take pictures of! I guess he knows he is incredibly handsome and loved a ton!

Thanks for visiting with us again!

Who can resist this face??? Not me!!!

Being as adorable as Christian cannot be easy! I am sure it is a full days work for him. He carries it all very well. The stress has got to be amazing.

Christian is turning one year old next month. That is shocking to me! It seems like just yesterday we were sitting with Nicole and Bryan while the doctors were giving them the choice to abort. A wise decision was made that day and look what we have! An adorable boy that is a complete joy to everyone who meets him!

Christian is such a wonderful addition to our family. He makes everyone smile and laugh. We could not imagine a world without him.

Christian is now 16 pounds! He is walking now and again although he would rather be carried! He is saying some words and trying new things all of the time. The doctor said he needs to start drinking out of a sippie cup with his meals now. I am telling you, he is growing up so fast!

So enjoy these pictures like we do. Know that we love this little man more than anyone can imagine. He is a gift to us and all who meet him.

Ohhhhh... Christian has been chosen to be the Sparrow Child at Sisters High School! Google Sparrow Clubs if you are unfamiliar with the organization. They are wonderful. I have supported the club for many years never realizing my grandson would be a Sparrow Child.

Love you all!!!!

Grandma Whee




Ain't I just adorable?

Konked out on dad. I drool a lot (like dad)

I will call him Mini Me!

Can I be any cuter??? I don't think so!!!!

First Steps

So our little one took his first steps on Sept. 11th! Yay! He is now pushing his little lawn mower toy around like crazy! He decided to pop out another tooth on the bottom. We're up to seven in there! He says mama and dada . He met his great grandma (GiGi) this week and loves her! This child is growing like a weed! He had just grown in to a size 6 moths this august and is now in size 9 months! Look out normal babies, Christian's catching up! Mommy got promoted to manager! Yay! And Daddy is on a quest for a police officer job. We are sooo excited to celebrate Christian's first Halloween... I'll surprise everyone with what he is when we post pictures. Well, I'll post a few new pictures and we'll write again soon.

Well, I can't get the pictures to upload, but I will try again tomorrow!

My Indigo Child

I truly believe that there are children sent to this earth to teach us new and amazing things. Children who can see things we can't, know things we do not and will change this world in a more dramatic way than we could ever imagine. These children are being sent to help heal our wounded world and bring peace. Their gifts should not be ignored, but rather praised and encouraged.

While I was pregnant with Christian, I went to the state fair. While walking through a building, a woman sitting at a small table stopped me as I passed and said simply this, "Your son will change the world."

She knew nothing of his health nor did she know he was a he. I had never met this woman before. Chills ran down my spine, but I was touched.

That very same day, as I was walking around outside, a man in a wheelchair stopped me and asked if he could touch my stomach. I had been asked this many times, and never minded, so I let him. He reached out his hand to touch my stomach and shut his eyes. When he let go, he look up at me and said, "This little boy is very special. He will do amazing things. Thank you." Again, this man knew nothing of his condition nor that I was carrying a son.

Ever since Christian was born, he has attracted abnormal amounts of attention. He has developed months past normal children his age and has been said to be too attentive for a child his age. His eyes are so deep and feel as if they have seen many lives before this one. He is an old soul.

My son is a miracle, there is no question about that, but there is so much more to him. He is on this earth for a reason, as we all are, yet I can't help but feel that his purpose is much greater. He will change our world. The indigo children are here to bring love, peace, humanity and wisdom to our planet.
