8 Months!

Cruz at 8 months..

 Zoey...

 and Caleb.

I think you can see that sweet Cruz is the peanut of the bunch.  He is meeting some big milestones this month!  He is crawing everywhere and even standing up! His favorite thing to say is still Da-Da but he will occasionally throw in a Ma-Ma for me.  He is one busy boy who loves the craziness of the house.  You can tell he is anxious to join in.  He loves getting smothered with kisses from Caleb. His favorite room in the house is Zoey and Caleb's room.  I think he feels part of the gang when we all play in there.  

 Check it out-no tears!! I'm sure next year will be different.    It was a busy holiday season..I'm so late getting this one out.  I tell you what, having 3 little ones keeps me busier and busier.  Just when I think I've got a pretty good handle on things, things change and they prove to me that I don't .  That's kids for ya, huh?  It always tickles me when strangers ask the ages of the little ones they tend to get a rather horrified look on their face.  These are crazy days-endless laundry and housework that I can't seem to keep up with, sleepless nights from Cruz getting up a lot at night teething, Zoey waking me up in the middle of the night most nights from night terrors or the sniffles...it is exhausting.  But then you see all of them laughing together and you have that moment of "this is what it's all about". 

 I have so many pics that I'm just gonna put them out here.  The first part are holidays pics...

 This is when we got our Christmas tree.  It's the best pic I could get.  Zoeygirl striking a pose and Caleb showing his favorite number.  ?

Christmas morning! I must say, I'm bummed because I got sick on Christmas Eve and didn't take many pics.  Such a shame bc I had all of my family and part of Byron's over.  :(  Here are the few that I took on Christmas day.

 No, he didn't just get a box from Santa.  Ha!  But he loved paying in it.  

 Zoey loved her Dora Gymnastics doll.

 Cruz loved playing Twister with the boys.

 Caleb loves his air hockey table.

  These are pics from Caleb's school play.  He was the Holy Donkey.  Kid you not.  What a cutie!

Zoey loved helping Papa assemble her princess castle.  I am amazed at how long it takes to assemble these toys!  Crazy the amount of time it takes to even get them out of packages!

The next pics are just random ones...

 Cruz modeling his new shoes.  

 This is her "Whatchu talking about, Willis" face.

 Check out the curls in the back!

 Ah! Love this man! We finally got out for a date night!

 We had family pics taken by my favorite photographer, Bill Cadzow.  Love his pics!  He did an amazing job.  Can't believe he got all of them looking in the same direction!!  Clearly, I am a blessed girl.  :)
