A new pasttime, and a trip to the Aquarium

Fred has found something that he absolutely loves doing! We've been with just Fred and me, with his dad, and with Grammy.





Fred also ran into a friend at the park on one trip, Zane.


Fred very much enjoys swinging!



It's official, Fred is mobile! Fred has been scooting and rolling forever, but now he is crawling EVERYWHERE. It's a lot of fun- but boy is it crazy!

Fred and his mom, Grandma, and AUnt Carla took a trip up to Fred's Dad's new classroom to help and get things set up. Fred had a great time rolling around and having a ball with his Grandma! Fred thinks it's pretty cool that his dad is officially a teacher now!





On Valentine's Day Fred took a trip to the Dallas World Aquarium with his mom and dad. It was everyone's first trip there, and everyone had an amazing time!
We waited in line for QUITE a while!

Here is our family...

You know, I enjoy spending time with these two boys more than anything on this earth!

Well, my mom's been busy, so I've got to do it myself

My mom told me that a priority of hers was going to be updating my blog, but obviously that hasn't been happening. Today I've decided that I have to do it myself if I want it done. You may be a little confused, but come on, I am the smartest baby EVER. The blog hasn't been updated in a while, and are you surprised that I've learned to type in the time?
You shouldn't be.


Mom gets a kick out of making me laugh all the time. It's funny and all, but geez, Mom, take a break and update my blog once in a while!




I got some really awesome blocks for Christmas, and I love to play with them all the time. My mom and dad try to stack them and show me stupid things to do with them, but I prefer to put them in my mouth or take two and bang them together. I really like the way that the blocks feel on my two bottom teeth that are coming completely in.


Sometimes when my mom and dad are snapping all of the pictures, I'm shocked by the flash.


For whatever reason they NEVER just let me have the camera, no matter how hard I try!



Aunt Holly has a baby in her belly, and I love to talk to it. I think it's pretty cool to put my hands on her tummy, especially now that the baby is getting big enough to know that SHE's living in there. (The baby told me last week on our snow day that it's a girl.
Mom and Dad got to stay home with me two days last week because of a snow day. The bushes out front sure did look weird!



My dad sure is funny!



That's all for now. If my mom doesn't get it together, you'll be hearing from me again!

Christmas!!!!

What an amazing experience Fred's first Christmas was. On December 6 Fred met the big fat man for the first time here in Providence Village. It was a really fun experience, and Fred thought he was a pretty cool guy.




Fred's Dad and I discovered Fred's first tooth on our first night of vacation, then the week sped by. Fred was delighted to finish Christmas shopping, then the exciting time came!
Each year we get a picture done with Santa for my mom. This year there were four of us there, and it was Fred's second meeting with Santa. Here are some pictures...



Then, after the first big flash...

Fred got scared... :-(


At the beginning of the week we went to Frisco with Fred's grandparents and aunt and uncle.



It was important to us that we began some traditions this year for Fred's first Christmas.
On Christmas Eve we attended the candlelight service at our church with Fred's grandparents, Aunt Carla, Aunt Holly, and Uncle Phillip. It was a delight. After we left church we went to dinner at Prairie House, then we all went our seperate ways. Fred's Dad, Fred, and I went over to the big light show here in our neighborhood and parked and watched the show. It was a good time, and although Fred got distracted at times, I think he had fun.




The following morning the grandparents, Fred's Aunt, and Fred's Uncle came over to have a big breakfast and open presents.




After everyone went home and having a nap, Fred got ready and headed to the big family Christmas at Grammy's house.
