I know that Eric often wonders what it is that we do all day long and Boston did a great job showing Eric today all the things he is learning. While eating dinner, he performed all of his signs: please, thank you, water, more, milk. Not too shabby I must say. Earlier in the week he did say soccer: "coccer". He definitely is just like his dad. His favorite ball is his mini soccer ball and has already started kicking it around the house.
In other updates, Boston is starting to eat more and more. He's still not a fan of fruit, unless it's in puree baby food form, but LOVES pasta-- yet another way you can tell he's Eric's kid.

couscous

Many of you have heard me vent my frustration that my child is not a great eater, I was ecstatic when I got him to eat couscous. I fell over laughing and I hope you do too. This is from about a month ago, but I didn't want to break my tradition of updating once a month. Here are more incredibly funny pictures. Can you see it up his nose?

A-MAZ-ING!!!

While we were in Utah over Christmas, we decided to celebrate Bost's birthday a bit early- any excuse to party, right? My incredibly talented friend, Rachel, made this invite for our Dr. Suess themed birthday bash. I'm always amazed at her creativity and being able to bring her thoughts and inspiration into something tangible. Talk about A-MAZ-ING!! And you should see the Christmas Cards and Baby announcements she's made for her baby!

Here we go.....

For Christmas, my FABULOUS family took us all on an incredible trip. I know I haven't posted pictures of the holidays, but this was so much fun. I just had to post them first.

Here is B super excited for the trip. We didn't have anyone to watch him, so he was the only kid with us. It was great!

Bos found the mini bar first thing in our room and didn't forget about it. I know the picture is blurry, but it makes him look like he's having too much fun in a drunken state.

Our first port was Puerto Rico and we all hiked to this amazing waterfall.

While we were in St. Thomas, we celebrated Boston's birthday.

E and I went scuba diving- just a shore dive- nothing too serious. But it was amazing. My SILs and MIL were sweet enough to watch B while we were in the water. They were so great the entire trip and helped out with B so that Eric and I could relax.

The wait staff singing to Boston. By the end of the cruise he was a pretty popular kid. He was so friendly- smiling and waving to everyone he passed.

In St. Martin, we rented a four wheeler turned golf cart and drove around the island. I loved it that the island is part Dutch and part French.

Then we went to a nude beach. Bos sure enjoyed it.

Just look at this water! I love the beach. It makes me can't wait til our Outerbanks trip this summer.

Thanks again Joe and Janet. We had such an amazing time! We love you and miss you all!!

Going Private

Hey Friends and Fam....

I'm thinking about going private so if you'd like me to include you on the exclusive list, leave a comment with your email address.

I'm going to try to switch over by the first, so act fast!

Prisoner

I stepped out of the living room the other day and I heard Boston start to scream. I quickly ran back in to find him trapped. Hysterically laughing, I grabbed my camera (instead of freeing him right away). I hurried and snapped a few pics to capture the moment and then I rescued him. I guess this may not be his favorite toy anymore.

New Threads

Last week (or so) we were getting ready to go out for a walk and since it's gotten considerable chilly, we needed to pull out our coats. I recently purchased one for B and after we dressed him up, it was apparent that he couldn't move. Does it remind you of The Christmas Story like it does me?
