Christmas Pictures!

I took Jeff to get his Christmas pictures taken tonight! He didn't want to sit for them at all, so we had to bribe him with a piece of chocolate. They came out pretty good actually... I would prefer not to have the chocolate, but oh well, right?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know it's a day early, but I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for so many things, and this day is just a nice way to remember some of them! Plus eating all the food is pretty great too!

Ear Infections = One Unhappy Boy!

The poor man was crying hysterically Monday after he got up from his nap and holding his ear. After I looked at it more closely I noticed that there was fluid draining from it. I called the new doctor and explained what was going on. They weren't sure if they'd get to see me because I hadn't seen the doctor for a new doctor meet and greet yet, but luckily they got us in. Jeff has a horrible ear infection and an ear drumb that's ready to burst. Hopefully the eardrops and oral antibotic will help get rid of it!

Relaxing, Shopping, Lights, & Santa!

Well this past weekend was suppose to be relaxing and not much going on, but somehow that always changes! It was quiet some of the weekend but really we always end up getting something scheduled.

Friday night we went and picked up a desk from someone and than went to drop it off at the bosses house. It was suppose to be a quick in and out thing, but of course we ended up staying like an hour and a half at the bosses place. It actually was okay though because the kids really enjoyed playing together. It was fun to watch them interact together, I was a little nervous how Jeff would do, but he actually did extremely well! We ended up leaving around 7:50, going to grab a quick dinner, than home so Jeff could get into bed.

Saturday, Nick had to work for a few hours in the morning, so Jeff & I went to the grocery store and than home to make homemade pizzas...yummy! And of course we settled in to watch the Michigan vs OSU game. We knew Michigan would loose, but they were horrible! Before the game I had Nick try and fix Jeff's crib since he had stripped the screws on the headboard and footboard...no luck in fixing it, so we actually went during the game to BabiesRUs and purchased Jeff his new bed! It's gorgeous and he loves it, which is the most important. Really we just spent the rest of the evening putting the crib together and hanging out, felt nice!

Sunday we woke up and went to breakfast, then Nick left for Tiffin for the coaching class he had to go and take. Jeff and I hung out for a little bit, then headed out to do some much needed shopping!!! Got Jeff a few things for the Christmas season and then we got Aunt Steph her birthday present. I tried looking for her Christmas present too, but I just didn't see anything that I feel in love with. But I did find a gorgeous sweater that I liked for myself...now I just gotta convince Nick to get it for me! Jeff & I both took wonderful naps Sunday afternoon, and then that night we headed to the zoo so we could see the Christmas lights. It was awesome! Even Jeff enjoyed being bundled up and watching all of the lights. We took him to visit with Santa, he wasn't to sure what to think of him though! We tried to get a good picture, but he didn't want any part of that!

Jeff & Daddy "Play" Video Games

This is what Jeff & Nick like to do while I'm not at home...
I hate that he's letting him "play" video games, but they enjoy it together so how can you deny them that time? But just so you know, Jeff's controler has the wires cut and he isn't playing, he's just pretending!

A Random Post

Jeff & his daddy are really starting to become buddies! It's nice that Jeff likes to hang out with Nick now and he doesn't always need to be around me...I get time to myself now! One of the new things that Jeff & Nick have been doing together, is "playing" video games. See they both really aren't playing...Nick is playing and Jeff is using his controller that doesn't have a cord attached to it, hence he's just pushing buttons, but not really playing the game. Although he thinks he is getting to play. When I walked down in the basement the other night, this is what I saw...

Jeff sitting on daddy's lap playing Nascar together! They both have the same looks on their faces...LOL!!!

It's moments like these that make me want him to stay this age for awhile!

Hopefully this doesn't become some sort of addition, otherwise mom will have to step in and look like the bad guy!

My mom went to Macy's yesterday for their sale and got Jeff his Christmas outfit! I was just going to let him wear the sweater he wore in our family pictures, but mom got him something else. Of course he LOVES it because it has trains on it. I had to get a picture of him in it though, to see how it fit...

The boy cannot smile anymore...he just bites his bottom lip when we do pictures now. Of course he has a beautiful smile any other time.

And the last picture on the blog is actually very special. Most people know that Jeff was named after my dad. But for the people who don't...about 2 years ago my dad had a cardiac arrest while I was pregnant with Jeff and we didn't know what the outcome was going to be. Nick & I decided at that time to name him after my dad, we figured he needed a good strong name and Jeff would be perfect! Okay well I've been drinking hot tea at night since the weather is getting cooler, and Jeff likes to take sips of it. The other night he wanted his own cup, and I knew the perfect one... This cup was my dads when he was a little boy, and if you look closely you can see it says "Jeff" on it. Since he won't get lots of things with his name on it, since it's a little uncommon, I figured it deserved it's own little picture. I love how he is looking over the top of the cup with his eyes...it fits how he is perfectly!
