apparently we hate art

chris took des out for his first trip to the avam. our buddy, shawn, was there and, not only gave des his first piece of artwork, but scared the crap out of him as well!

5 months!

it's amazing that it's been 5 months already! he's getting so big - we weighed him on the Wii this week and he's 16 lbs now. he rolls over (tummy to back), works on sitting up by himself, and scoots around his crib on his back. he loves to eat - can totally scarf down a WHOLE mashed banana in one sitting. he talks a lot and does so at a very loud volume! his favorite sound is to push a really high-pitched squeak out (thank you aunt amber for teaching him that!). we like him a whoooole, whole lot :)

i could do this all day

nappin', chillin', mindin' my bizness ...

(it's not the best quality because his room was so dark and i was trying not to wake him up)

a bubbly bath

you'd think it was all the same photo and we just cropped it a few times, but, no, this is pretty much how he looks in the bath ALL of the time.

christmas!

my first christmas and all i got was a diaper change.
