Life Gets the Best of Us

Lets face it, mommy is a horrible blogger. We've got a lot going on in the last few months and it's only fair I give you a quick run down of what's been going on: 

August: Aunt K and Cuz finally got to meet Little Man! We took them to the Aquarium which has become one of Little Man's favorite places. We also started eating solids! First food on the block: Sweet potatoes and the kid has been eating ever since!                    

September: Little Man learned how to sit up! Albeit with a little help from Mom and Dad! He also got to go to the beach down in Florida for the first time! Likes the beach, but much like his mother, not a fan of the open ocean! Dad hopes he gets over that when he takes Little Man fishin! 

October: Little Man begins scooting and then crawling shortly afterwards. In addition to that , he also starts pulling up on stuff (oh no!). In accordance with Mom and Dad's nerdy tendancies, he gets dressed up a Robin ( they didn't have Batman in his size) for Halloween, but makes a killing in candy! 

November: Mom and Dad make the decision to move from off base to on, which proved to be as awesome as we'd hoped it would be. Dad becomes the super mover and in a period of two weeks we move most of our stuff into the new house in time for Little Man's first Thanksgiving! He is now eating regular food (in bite size pieces) and LOVES turkey and gravy. 

December: ummm duh! First Christmas! Mom and Dad go all out with lights and decorations, though little man's favorite thing to do is chase the cats under the tree and try to eat the light bulbs when Mom isn't looking. First Christmas was a little marred by the great stomache bug of 2013, which knocked out Little Man on paths 23rd and put Mommy in the ER on Christmas Eve. Luckily we had a great caretaker in Daddy and Santa was able to make it on time! We also got to see SNOW for the first time ever! 

Annnnd that brings us to January!

Little Man is now truly a little Man, though not quite walking yet, he's got the balance and leg strength to do it, he's just got to learn to let go of our fingers when he goes! I give it a couple more weeks and he'll be doing it! Right now his favorite things include his "Stuffy" (little stuffed Dragon from DocMcStuffins), banging on anything that makes a sound (to include the dog...oh yeah we got a dog), and eating anything that Mommy has in her hands! We also took a quick trip to Universal Studios with Unkie C and Aunt T and visited all of family in GA, not to mention a couple more snow days and a could more to come! 

I'll try to be better at this blogging thing. I'm about to have some time on my hands so it shouldn't be too hard! More to come!
