home

well, we finally made it home. we had such a sweet holiday. there were many firsts for rowe so i will go ahead and get started. i'm still not sure how to add text in between photos so i will go from first to last, but it will go backwards once published. sorry about that.

first bubbles

chopped

well, rowe had his first haircut today. he was not too happy about it, to say the least. susan did an awesome job. she cuts everyone's hair in creede, seriously everyone.

dippin'

we start 'em early in creede :-) and don't worry, it is only a peppermint stick.

goose

having some fun in the tub

cake

i felt bad for andy only getting oreos for his birthday...better late than never.

chop

how do you cut an eleven month old's hair if he's not prone to staying still, freakish about having someone touch his ears (too many ear aches), and a super light sleeper. maybe we'll just let it keep growing.

decorating

started putting up christmas decorations & have found myself in the spirit, even though it is only november. here is our little tree.

cabinets

here is rowe playing literally 'in' the cabinets. i'm not quite sure what he is looking for...

tp

rowe has found a new love, toilet paper.

birthday

birthday food is a big deal in this family. you get to choose what you want the whole day, it's great. of all things, andy wanted biscuits & gravy for dinner & oreos for dessert. no problem.

thanksgiving

happy thanksgiving a little late. ours was nice & white.

trouble

luke showin' some guns.

driving

rowe loves being driven around in this jeep by whichever christensen kiddo is driving. today it was luke. his driving skills are pretty impressive for a 3 year old.

stacking

when my mom was here she gave rowe some lessons on stacking. this is his new favorite game for sure.

calling

who knows who he is calling :)

sleepy

walking

i guess this is technically falling, but 'walking' has a better ring to it. he's getting the hang of it.

laci

here is sweet laci playing with rough rowe. yes, he's a biter.

snow

here is another shot that my dad took of the whole fam.

sad

when rowe gets upset lately, he has gotten into the habit of 'flopping' his lips. here he is flopping away.

excuse all of the posting today. baby sleeping, cold outside.

thumb

rowe enjoying some baby einstein. he won't take his eyes off of the screen to look for a binkie, even if it is literally right next to him, so when watching he sucks his thumb.

binkies

rowe is so funny with his binkies. he likes his little pile so that he can take each one, try it out, try the next one out, next one out, & then he is usually asleep mid-try of the next one. if you look closely you can see that coot got a hold of a couple of these :-)
