Santa Pics

Here are the santa pics from the Festival of Trees on December 2.

ARGH LUKE!!

Luke decided that him and michael needed to switch hair colors the other day. I walked in and he was cutting his own hair - and had already cut michaels. He said that he wanted to put his hair on michael. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! Their hair had to be cut a little shorter than I like it to be and luckily from the front you can hardly tell - it's the top that isn't looking so hot! Here's a couple of "before" pictures. Good thing they are boys - their hair is kept short anyway. Now if this had been my baby girl with beautiful long locks I think I would have had a nervous breakdown! Oh - and did I mention that Luke got in the medicine cabinet about a week before that and washed my contacts down the drain? All before I had a chance to get out of bed! That kid.. what are we going to do with him!!!

NEW PHOTOS!

Here is Michael's VERY FIRST school photo! What a big cheese! We just finally got school pictures back. The first time around, the teacher did not find his order form in the back pack, so although he got them taken, there was no order - therefore no pictures sent home!! So we made sure on retake day that he was able to get them taken this time! Such a cutie! He's doing really well in school and just loves his teacher and all the kids.

Here are some photos from Brynley's 7 month pictures - which was last month. It's been a crazy month - all of the family has been sick at one time or another. Brynley has been sick nearly the entire month. At a doctor visit around the time she turned 7 months, she weighed 15 lbs even and was 24 1/2 inches long. Still just a little tiny thing! She had just cut her second tooth 2 days before these pictures. (Pictures are from kiddie kandids). Now today she is 8 months old, and weighs 15 lbs 2 oz - with all of the sickness and not eating well she hasn't gained hardly any weight. The doc decided she isn't getting enough milk so he wants us to switch her to formula - hopefully this will help! poor thing! Now at 8 months she is finally starting to TRY and go for things just out of reach. She can sit up well, but hasn't figured out how to crawl yet. (FINE WITH ME!!! :o) She loves to eat cereal and any table foods that she sees us eating. I think she just likes to "chew"! So cute. She is still a pretty big mama's girl - but she is getting better. She loves her brothers and they can be as abnoxious as they want and she will still flash them the biggest smile, or even manage to giggle. She has finally figured out the jumperoo - but jumps very carefully. She definately doesn't like to play rough. I will try to get a picture of her today - she's still not feeling well and is pretty cranky, but we'll see how it goes!
