These eyes melt my heart

A man on the move

The nugget is so close to crawling.  Rolling over is now child's play for this little man and he has his sights set on crawling.  He has all the pieces down- he just needs to get them going at the same time.  Here's a little video I shot the other night.

Tough love is working...a little

We have been "tough-loving" the nugget for a couple of weeks now when it comes to sleeping in the crib.  He got a little too spoiled sleeping in the bed, so it was a big adjustment going back to the old crib.  We've seem some late nights, tears, and tantrums- but I think we are rounding the corner.  **Knock on wood**

Here's the nugget showing off those sleeping-in-the-crib skills:

Please ignore the terrible picture quality- but I couldn't resist this shot.  There's nothing cuter than the way babies sleep with the little tush in the air!  I will say, I am proud that Christopher keeps it classy when sleeping, unlike some other people we know.

What a trooper

Christopher is a tough little dude!  He still wants to follow a career in law enforcement despite all of the terrible things he has experienced in his 6.5 months- a burglary, multiple Browns losses, the end of Entourage and repeatedly trying to go to Chick-Fil-A only to remember that it is closed on Sundays. 

Rocking his "new" Trooper shirt from Grandpa B:

I can't believe he used to be this small (look at those chicken legs):

The onesie shown above is now considered "hot".  If you see it- please call the Cleveland PD immediately- or call me and I will go regulate!

Chicken...it's what's for dinner

If you know anything about me, it's that I'm awesome I love chicken.  And apparently my son loves chicken too!!!  He recently added protein to his diet- and chicken is proving to be on the top of his list.  I couldn't be more proud.  Tonight we ventured to the delicacy known as chicken and rice. 

Shop till you drop

This weekend C-Dub was reunited with Lil' Mike.  Lil' Mike (and his peeps) came and stayed with us for the weekend.  The boys decided to spend the day Saturday cruising the mall for chicks.  While Christopher didn't find a babe to share a happy meal with, he did have a great time with his BFF.  And he even got to meet Santa Claus for the first time.  He was pretty indifferent to meeting such an important man.  But we did get some photos- to be shown at a later time. 

BFF Christmas Card??

Looking cool for the ladies:

 

We're thinking Michael is going to be the designated driver when these two get older:

Everybody jump jump

Jump up jump up and get down!  The nugget loves to jump.  And thanks to Ryan and Reese- he inherited this fun bouncy chair.  Besides his mom (obviously), this is Cee-Dub's 2nd favorite thing in life.  Ok- maybe I am exaggerating- he also loves turkey with sweet potatoes, trees, reality television and things he can chew on.  Oh- and his Daddy is pretty high on that list as well. 

Check out those argyle socks!

Each time I see that little smile, I realize more and more that I am never going to be able to discipline this child.  He will smile, and I will cave.  So I apologize in advance for having "that kid".  But back me up here, how cute is he?!?!
