March Photos Part 1 :)

So March has barely begun, but I want to try to do a better job of staying on track with our blog, so here we go!

March 1st: crazy mismatched outfit, complete with some new Thomas socks!

March 2nd: showing off his dance moves to our visitors Brad & Kris! So glad they added our home to their northern travels!

We can't wait to see what this month will bring!

More February Photos!

What a great month! Our sweet cookie has started walking a few steps at a time (PR: 10 steps!), he shows us all the time that he understands so many words, and he is more consistently saying "mama" and "dada" in addition to his all-time favorite: "ball". :) He loves throwing food, and is a very messy eater. He is still wearing size 3 diapers, and he's wearing mostly size 12 month and size 18 month clothes. He got fitted for his first pair of "actual" shoes, and is a 4.5 wide. He's taking 2 naps a day, and is sleeping about 11 hours a night---sometimes even consecutively. :) He loves giving kisses, and he is just the sweetest!!!

2015 Daily Photo Challenge: Part 1

So, it has become apparent that our blogging consistency has really fallen by the wayside. There are SO many updates I'd love to share, and I hope to do that in a post sometime soon. However, this post is intended to introduce a (hopefully more realistic) goal I've set for 2015: to take a photo every day. I then hope to share that photo here. Here's what we have so far!
