first christmas.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. -Luke 2:20

last year i remember getting stuff ready for noah to come home. Christmas has always felt empty without him. this year, we are all together. and that feeling can't be put into words. the best christmas. our first Chirstmas as a family. we are grateful.

fall on your knees,
hear the angel voices led by the light of faith
serenly beaming
with glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
so led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
truly He taught us to love one another.

"And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;

for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,

to give his people the knowledge of salvation

through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
-Luke 1:76-79


crusing part two...

As you can see, his partner in crime is always one step away from him. she goes everywhere with him so she had to go with him for wagon rides. At first, she was terrified, but now she can sense when we go and she always asks to go. Of course daddy just rolls his eyes and obliges now, suki was our first baby.

Here are a few pics of our two sweet little babies from the past few months!

 

 


         




and it doesn't get any cuter than this... both waiting for daddy.

drum time.

noah absolutely loves to drum now. when he hears his daddy drumming, he crawls full speed ahead to the laundry room and pounds on the door to go outside. it is the cutest thing ever. when you ask him if he wants to go outside, he says "yeah" and flaps his little arms. won't be before too long when he starts taking his first drum lesson!

Christmas lights

noah loved looking at the christmas lights this year in his car.. here are some pictures...

looking at the lights..

flashing his 'i love you' sign!

he looks like such a BIG boy

noah and his g

noah and suki

noah and his car

noah loves his car and begs to get pushed around in it! when the weather is nice, he goes for walks out on mamaw and papaw's long driveway, but when it's too cold, he gets pushed around in the house. here are some pics of him the past month!

this is the way i brush my teeth...

we started brushing noah's 4 little teeth and although we thought he would hate it (he can't stand for you to look in his mouth to see the teeth).. but he loved it! he now knows that it is apart of his bedtime ritual... after reading his favorite book :)

Noah..meet Santa

Well, noah met santa for the first time at our first annual Gladney Christmas party :) I don’t think he was too impressed.. what do you think?

Who in the heck is this??

Wiggle worm!

 

first time to color

merry christmas!

weeeeeeeee

Over the past couple of months when we get a warm day, I will take n to the park. He absolutely loves to swing! He now knows that “weeeeeee” means swing. When you say it, get gets so excited and know that and ‘the park’ by name. he even says ‘weeee’ on a regular basis! On his baby Einstein video, it has a little girl swinging and when he sees her, he will say ‘weeee’. Cutest.thing.ever!

 first time on the swing- look at that face!
