Baby C
Here are a bunch of fall pics... pumpkins... our little halloween skunk!... running around crazy with teddy... flying with dad... visit from Grandpa S... "peeeek-a-boo!"... and our little cookie monster with his fav snack- oreos. :) For some reason I can never just pick a couple pics... either I take too many! OR C is extremely photogenic... you can decide. :)
Let's not forget the doggies!
People often ask how Christian is with our dogs... two min pins & a yorkie. Well, he LOVES them... and they don't mind him too much. :) He was pretty interested in them when he started "scooching" across the floor- and they's sit pretty still when he'd go near them. THEN, crawling happened and C would dart to the dogs- and they would quickly dart away from him. :) He kinda stayed away for a while, but recently, his interest in the doggies has peaked... and now he loves running after them and is getting bold to try and "pet" them. Sadie (black one) just sits there and lets him pet/touch her... he's actually pretty gentle with her most of the time... monitored closely!! (more for the sake of the dogs!) And every now and then Sophie will stick around while he's trying to touch her... she'll lick his fingers and he'll laugh out loud! So silly. And when Mark gives the dogs treats, C will run around and go crazy laughing!! It's pretty funny. :) I guess we keep taking videos and no pictures... so this first pic below is pretty old, but I love it! I'll try to take some more recent pics of the chaos that comes when we say "treat?!"
I love my little sopher fur ball. :)
And yes, I do still take pics of little Sophie... this was at the lake this past summer- sure was windy on that boat! (before & during!)

Figures...
I saw this cute "look-a-like" meter (below) on a friend's blog, so I thought I'd try it out! Christian still has all our friends stumped... still not looking more like Mark or me... still just a perfect mix. :) Well, I thought I could solve the mystery with this little tool! It scanned all of our faces... and we waited for the meter to sway... a little more one way and then the other... then it stopped, right in the middle. :)

He's ONE!
This day used to seem so far away... and now it's come and gone! We officially have a one year old... a toddler! :) We've had a pretty busy summer... I wasn't surprised that my last post was the beginning of June. ;) Christian has changed a lot! So here are some pics below of what we've been up to just in the last month...
Trip to the zoo with Grandma & Grandpa Hammond- an early birthday surprise- he loved it!
A couple weeks ago was Mark's kick-off at church. We had a huge youth tailgate party (during the Colt's game) to gear up for the fall... my wonderful husband said he'd shave his head if we had over 100 kids there... the total? 106. :) Now Christian has more hair than Daddy!
Sailing! Pastor Stan took us out on his boat for the last sail of the season- beautiful day!
Birthday Party! On Sept 27, we had a party down in Decatur so that Mark's grandparents and other family members could celebrate with us! We had a football/sports theme and Christian had his first taste of chocolate frosting. :) Then again on the 30th for this actual birthday... and again on Oct 1 when we celebrated with small group! He was on a sugar high all week!! :)
And you may (or may not!) be wondering how the chocolate made it's way all over his face? Well, he started out simple with a little chocolate beard, but then decided to play peek-a-boo! Yes, he loves playing this most during meals. SO, his little chocolate hands covered his eyes... and then boo! Such fun. (though at our party in Decatur, everyone laughed when he did this and I think Christian got scared. He started crying and reaching up to me with his chocolate covered arms! He was so cute, but definitely not ready to be picked up and cuddled, so we got him settled back down and into more of his football cake... then off to the sink for a mini-bath!)
LOVE this face! Christian now has 4 teeth on the top (3 in this picture!) and 2 on the bottom.
