Leighton the little musician

Vegas Trip and Leighton is 9 Months

My little Leighton is 9 months old. He's getting so big, but still my little baby boy, atleast to mommy. When I think of Leighton I think ALL BOY. He is just a boyish boy if that makes sense. He tears up everything and can't stand to be slowed down. I love my little bundle so much.

He is getting around everywhere now. He loves sisters toys, to be held and his brother Biz. He can throw himself a fit, take something away from him and he lets you know he's not happy about it. I think the funniest is the way he throws his head back when he's mad.

I love when he's tired because he lets us love on him, he's so cuddly, but ONLY when he's tired enough. He waves bye and it it so cute he just lifts his little arm up and dosen't move his hand to wave....then he just holds his arm there for quite a while and says uhhhh (his version of bye) I love it. He says dada and mama, uh oh, I think ball, again his version of it.

He's just such a blessing.

We had a great trip to Las Vegas as always. Matt got to go with us. It was Leighton's first plane ride and he did pretty good. Anna Claire is a pro now and LOVES traveling (by plane). I don't do road trips well at all. Actually, I can't stand them, and I have a feeling she's the same. Well every 3 year old is I guess.

Blake got a Nintendo Wii (?spelling) for his Birthday, and the kids LOVED playing it. Including Matt. We had a great time celebrating with Blake, the sweetest nine year old I know.

My brother (along with the rest of my family) really know how to make Anna Claire happy. My brother took her to Build-A-Bear and told her to pick out anything she wanted. Nothing she picked out was turned down. She got a sweet puppy with a bed, collar, leash, clothes, shoes, I could keep going on but I won't. :) What a lucky girl to have such a sweet Uncle and Aunt.

Mud Pies are the BEST!

My sweet friend Dorothy took these pictures. She takes great photos. Anna Claire and Merritt were mud pieing (my word) it today.

We LOVE mud pies at our house! I've got to get back to scrubbing Anna Claire.

Not much to report

Nothing major going on, but I wanted to post a few cute pictures. We bundled up and got outside some the other day. These are "the days". Each day is a blessing and a gift.

Well some of us bundled up. Apparently cheerleadeers don't get cold when it's 40 degrees with an open midriff.
