Here we are at 12:12 on December 12th, 2012 just being cool I guess…

Air has been sick for over a month now. He’s lost his voice and his job requires him to talk… constantly!! So he finally took some time off work this week and we spent the day at the doctor and going around to all kinds of clinics for prescriptions and an x-ray and blood test. We are praying that he can feel better again really soon.

We’ve got Christmas parties to attend!

We got these fortunes at Wok Box for lunch. Interesting?:

Ames is a little reindeer:

The frost looks pretty on the pine trees in our back yard:

Ames got his second round of immunizations (what a champ):

And……. just some behind the scenes:

.fourth month

This last month Ames has changed and progressed and grown and learned so much. He uses his hands so well now and pulls himself up to sit. He has a strong neck and likes to bite you with his pokey little chompers.

He makes us laugh every stinking day and makes me so happy I could die.

And um, we’re pretty excited to have a ‘baby’s first Christmas’ up in hizzuh!

…had enough? Well, I never post pictures on my blog more than once… but this one is exceptional. Soooo……

.party time, excellent

One of the best things about this time of year is all the parties and celebrating we get to do with family and friends! It gets us so excited for Christmas!

Air’s Mom threw a fantastic party last week for the family!

Uncle Russ has the best Christmas shirt ever

Loads of amazing food

Hilarious reindeer games (that ended up in a marshmallow war)

We love our family! Thanks for the party guys!

.teefies

Do you see them!?!? Two little teeth are making their first appearance today. It’s crazy and amazing how well this boy is dealing with it.

I love this baby of mine so much…

 

And to make this post complete, here is Ames in heaven the bath:

.I'm cheap

I have been all over the place since we bought this house, looking for the things I need. For, like, free.
I’ve found some great things so far and it makes me giddy to think of how much money I’ve saved and how much I love it!

Here’s a little list of some things I’ve found:

office chair. off kijiji for $25

fold-up baby bath. kijiji for $5

crib/toddler bed. kijiji for $60

changing pad w/cover. kijiji for $7

u-shaped desk. kijiji for $80

chair. kijiji for $170

baby swing. garage sale for $50

kitchen table (with leaf extension). garage sale for $100

Isn’t that awesome!?? I’ve still got more stuff to find though …like kitchen chairs and bar stools …and a rocking chair …and night stands …and a high chair …and a baby saucer

Ok, so I guess I still need a lot. Hmm… too bad garage sale season is over for a while (I’ve never sounded more like my Mom in my life!)
