SNOW!!

It snowed so I had to take some pictures of Christian!! He had fun for a little while til the snow started falling in his face!!!

some Christmas pictures

I took some pictures of Christian in his cute santa outfit that Cody's mom got for him. I used my mom's christmas decorations for a backdrop!!!

studio photos attempt one

So I decided to try and take some studio looking pictures of Christian I used some black curtains for the background and a bunch of lamps for lighting...I think they turned out alright...i can't wait to get some better lights and backdrops and try again!

...more life and times of Christian Cook!

another picture from our Halloween photo shoot

Here is Christian with the xbox controller....emulating Cody already

As you can see above still emulating Cody...this is what happens when he is losing haha.

Just enjoying his bouncy chair

Happy Halloween Batman

Christian was Batman for Halloween

We took some pictures with Cody's parents...it was a little windy

...more Christian

Christian and Sam are good friends. Christian has started laughing hysterically at whatever Sam does. I was sitting on the couch holding Christian one day and he just starts laughing and I look down and Sam is trying to give Christian his tennis ball and christian thought that was hilarious
Cody seems to think Christian must watch the Muppets so he shows it to him on youtube from the computer!! (All Christian wants to do is play with the keyboard haha)

Halloween is coming

I carved this pumpkin for Halloween. I think it turned out pretty good! Happy Halloween!!!!!

The power of a new toy

We were noticing that Sam was a little grumpy lately. I watched him look at all Christians toys with longing. He even tried to take a few, but consequently he would get yelled at. That is when it hit me that the Samsam needed a new toy. We bought him a stuffed duck and it has not left his side since. He went crazy running all over with it then he took it to his bed. Sometimes you just need a new toy!

Adventures in sitting up and crawling

Ok so here is Christian happy and sitting up perfectly. Then he discovered that he had shoes on.




































Now he is trying to take them off











































and oops he falls over!















it's ok cause now he's gonna try and crawl


















































what an exhausting experience.

Some pictures of Christian 0 to 6 six months

The first of many...MANY pictures of Christian! I remember watching him at that exact moment just feeling so relieved that he was finally here.













Cody was so excited he kept saying "Katie I just love him...I just love him"















He had so much hair...now most of it has fallen out except for a strip in the middle of his head like a mohawk its still cute though














First sunbathing experience with sunglasses even! And I love his little shorts!














We were worried about how Sam would react when we brought Christian home....it didn't take long before he loved him as much as we did.

















Of course not long after he got home Cody initiated him into the video game world....don't worry I won't let him play too much haha






First camping trip at three months old... we used a laundry basket for a bed it worked perfectly!















Just hangin out on the floor!



























So cute when he is asleep




















One day I decided to take some pictures of Christian .....as you can see Christian did not share my enthusiasm



















This was the best one that we ended up with that day
























out at the wildlife refuge












































Chillin with Daddy
