Be jealous. Be very jealous.

We are really settling into our place in the food industry. This pic was our New Years dinner. It was so yummy with a small side of our shop mac & cheese.

We did a filet and lobster tail special at the shop that went off really well. The winter slows down business with exception to the days leading up to a holiday. It was good to be happy with the last day of the year, then finish it off with a killer dinner, and a sweet sweet baby who is turning into a pretty good sleeper (knock on wood).

Soooooooo much happened in 2010. We have been so blessed with the hardest, and most rewarding year of our lives thus far. So good bye 2010. It's been real!

Hello 2011, we are really looking forward to you. Except for the year end book keeping. Yuck!

Advice on this sleeping position???

Soooooo... Field started crawling crawling (well, army crawling at least) the day after Christmas. The day after that he discovered he could flip onto his tummy to do so. I know most babies have been doing that trick for a while, but Field was apparently not interested in it. Until he learned to scoot. Now I can hardly keep him on his back and he is insisting on sleeping on his face like this... EEK! I had just gotten over being insane about SIDS and now we are back to it! Any advice for a rook mommy?

Finally filling out!

Since it is winter we rarely get a good pic sans clothing so here you go! He is finally getting some chunk on his legs. I didn't think he was that skinny before, but compared to now he really was! Thank you Gerber Infant Cereal for carb loading my skinny little boy.

Wiped out in his new chair

Baby's First Christmas

Sweetest. Thing. Ever. I felt like a kid again walking up to Santa. Field did great, of course and we went early figuring we would have to wait in line but Santa was there early and we literally walked up and went right to Santa. That never happens!!!

Our (linear) Christmas tree

We put our tree up at the shop this year so we used the mantle as a non-tree shaped ornament hanger at home. It features 4 white and gold ornaments, 1 Ole Miss ornament, a guitar, and a new family picture in a "baby's first Christmas" ornament. I really like how it turned out and despite the most hectic Christmas I've ever had, I will not be doing any Christmas morning buying or wrapping because I am completely done! I was about 95% done by my birthday (Dec 13) and finished it up tonight. Big pat on my back!

Life is funny

Field is such a happy baby. It takes almost nothing to make him laugh and if you are lucky, you can get him laughing hysterically. Not sure why he thought this was so funny, but if you catch him in the right mood, say BOO! and he LOVES it. I think this was the third time I turned on the camera because I was laughing so hard you could hardly hear him. Oh yeah, sorry it is sideways.

If that wasn't enough for you, here is another one.
I took this one from the other angle so you can see what he is laughing about.

I love it!

I LOVE BLUEBERRIES!!!!!!!


I have been making Field's food with the Beaba Babycook. He eats oatmeal with fruit for breakfast and rice with veggies for dinner. Lunch depends on his mood, where we are and what I have available. I started giving him oatmeal when he was 4 months old hoping it would help him sleep better / longer (it didn't) and so that he could practice before it became a nutritional necessity. It worked out well because he is a great eater now that he definitely needs it. The pic with the blueberries is really the most mess he has ever made. In fact, I was brave enough to feed him in the car, in his church clothes on the way to church this past Sunday and it worked out beautifully. 
So far he has eaten and loved broccoli, cauliflour, zucchini, summer squash, carrots, sweet potato, spinach, apples, bananas, and blueberries. He LOATHES and will not eat white potatoes (weird?!?). I have used garlic and cinnamon to season the food, and I borrowed my mom's AeroGarden to grow fresh herbs to use as well (haven't actually started that yet). Putting so much effort into his food is making me very aware of how poorly Whit and I eat... EEK!!! I'll be working on that now too. Stay tuned for healthier and more fit Whit and Christina coming soon!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we have more than ever to be thankful for. We have been
working hard with the blessings that God has bestowed upon us and
while we still have a long way to go, I am very proud of us.

Here are my two very handsome men enjoying the weather while throwing
the ball for Maggie.

I've gotcha!


Field's #1 obsession is Maggie. His #2 obsession is grabbing someone by the sides of the face and pulling stubbornly until your nose is in his mouth. Now that he is learning how to use his tongue you really have to watch out... Slobber City!

The big kid seat

Field's first time in the big kid seat. I can't believe how fast he is
growing!

I did not get a free turkey. Just in case you were wondering.

My sweetness

Field hangs out in a bouncy seat while we are getting ready in the mornings. If he is going to get in the shower with one of us he hangs out in his diaper waiting for his turn and playing with his feet. He can get them into his mouth now, woo-hoo!

With Great Gma Jean

This is Field's first visit to his Great Grandma Jean's grave. Gma Jean has 6 kids, 26 grandkids and Field is her first great grandchild. It is so special that we live in Gma Jean's house and are glad her memory gets to be a part of our lives every day. They missed meeting each other by just a little while, but I know she is watching over her great grandbaby from heaven.

Helping Mommy at the shop

Field has been voted employee of the month for the last three months.
Our customers love to play with him, especially our regulars. I know
it's good for business to have him there with us. Great job Field,
keep up the good work!

Loving tummy time on the krinkly paper at the doctor's office

Field's eye was super goopy when he woke up from a nap on Friday
afternoon (before Halloween), and not wanting to have to deal with the
emergency room on the weekend we decided it would be best to go to the
doctor just in case. They said it was pink eye and gave us drops
(antibiotics). We didn't think it was ponk eye (no other symptoms) so
we only put the drops in 1 time. I'm glad we didn't use them any more
than that because it turned out to be nothing and we would have given
him those antibiotics when he didn't need them. New mommies and
daddies: follow your instincts!!!

Holding hands

If Field isn't holding something in his oh so dexterious little
fingers, they are grasped together like this. Always. Super cute, but
a little weird...

Field & Aunt Ashley

I'm pretty sure Field won't ever learn how to crawl because we are
terrible at enforcing mandatory tummy time. Thanks to Aunt Ashley he
had a great tummy time session this afternoon. Maybe there is hope for
him yet!

Twins!

We have a bonus puppy this weekend. Maggie's sister Marley is staying with us while my Dad and Myra are out of town. Field could watch Maggie play all day long so 2 "Maggies" practically mezmorizes him! Marley is very gentle and sweet with Field. I think she would have made an excellent mama. Maggie is much more playful with him. Gentle enough, but playful still. Maggie is on the right with the camo collar and Marley is on the left.
