January has been busy!

"Did someone say debonair?"

 

 

 



Stevie is so happy all the time. I think I got it really easy this round. He's getting so big. He gets into everything and is now standing up on furniture. He's very affectionate andplayful. He's growing fast all of the sudden and seems to eat more solids everyday. He likes everything except chicken in gravy. That made him barf. He also has six huge teeth and I think another on the way. He says Dadda and is almost saying Mom. He has yelled at me a few times when he wanted attention. So cute!

 

 

 

We took a trip to Tucson so Steve could go pig hunting. Stevie is really good on flights and makes friends with everyone sitting around us. 

 

Both Steve's got one but they weren't big enough so we're going back in February.

 

 

 

Stevie can't actually ride this yet but he'll sit on it and hang on.  He looked the part though.

Christmas Time 2

Sorry I'm so lame at this guys but atleast when I do update the blog I put lots of pictures. Here are some more pics that didn't make the Christmas card cut. They were done in October but I didn't want to post them until after I sent cards.

Here's the gingerbread village Bonnie, Lori and I made. I've never made them before and it was so much fun. Bonnie won first prize with the one in the middle.

SSSHHH!! Christmas Eve. Stevie was good and went to bed right away so Santa could come. He slept six hours straight. Best Christmas gift I got.

 He woke up early Christmas morning to see what Santa brought. He loved the paper best.

Stevie loved all of his gifts but he liked the dog he got from Grandma Watts the best. They fought on the floor together for a long time. 

Steve's deer he shot Christmas Day. Happy Birthday Jesus!

Here he is with his cousin Franny from my side. He was having a hard time not being the only baby. Franny is one of almost four and knows how to handle the pressure better. She tried to comfort him.

Christmas Time

Here we are at the First Annual Harcourt's Christmas Party! Isn't Little Stevie looking dapper!



Steve grew a beard. I like it!

 

 

Stevie is definitely learning to get around on his own and is increasingly curious. We need to start baby-proofing the house because he's learned to open drawers and cabinets already.  Here he is simultaneously destroying my magazine and getting into Steve's dresser.

 

 

I'm still able to clean faster than he can destroy but he's gaining on me.

Almost Crawling and I had the Camera Ready!!!

First of all, Stevie is looking more and more like Steve everyday.

And he likes to chew on everything which makes sense because he all of the sudden he has 2 teeth in and 2 more about to show. Poor guy got hit all at once.

Stevie is able to army crawl all over but the other day he was up on all fours. And the camera was right there for once! You know, it's times like this that make all the lack of sleep worth it. 

This one is blurry but I was rushed.

Just some push-ups. No big deal.



I rewarded him by letting him play with my cell phone.

Halloween, Vacation and Getting So Big!

Stevie was a tiger for Halloween! So So Cute. I wasn't going to dress him up but then I changed my mind. I figure there's only a few years that I get to decide what he'll be for Halloween.

 

 

 

 

He's getting smarter every day. He can sit up on his own now and play with his toys. He's starting to push himself around on the floor. I think he will crawl soon but he doesn't need to because he can roll anywhere he wants to go.

He's quite a little ham as you can see in his pictures.

I don't think there's any baby that loves to cuddle in his blankets more than Stevie. He's happiest when I put soft covers all around him so he can roll around in them and pull them over his face and off again.

 

 

 

 

We went on a vacation to Huntington Beach last weekend. It was sooooooo nice and restful.

 

 

     We went to a Lakers game at the Staples Center. It's amazing in there. So huge and steep!

We played on the beach which is so clean and beautiful there.

 

And Stevie got his first swimming lessons in the wading pools with Dad! He especially loved the heated pools at the hotel.  He played and splashed for about an hour and then slept the rest of the afternoon and evening.  We were able to stroll him to a nearby restaurant and have a little date while he slept.
