Crawling

I am a little behind on my blogging, but Alan crawled for the first time on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010. We were so proud of him. I have to be honest as his Mommy it was bittersweet because you want them to be your little baby that you can hold in your arms forever, but I am glad that he is growing and very healthy and I wouldnt have it any other way. Another thing I was so thankful for is there are lots of things that his Daddy doesn't get to see him do (for the 1st time) and we were both here when he started crawling so it was special for both of us.

Pulling Up

Alan has recently started pulling up and I wanted to share this little video of him playing in the floor with his Daddy. He pulled up on one of his toys and we were so excited and proud of him!!!

He is 10 1/2 months old and some of the things he is doing now are:

Rolling over

Pulling up

Trying to crawl (he gets on all 4's and can't quite figure it out after that) but he can move around on his belly very well, it wont be long before he is crawling

He is eating some grown up food

Waving bye bye

He has a few teeth coming in

His favorite things are his bath time, anything outside, his Baby Einstein Videos and his exersaucer

Thanks MawMaw

Jack, Alan and I want to thank MawMaw so much she came at the beginning of this week to keep Alan because Mommy was sick and did not need to be around the little man. They had fun playing together.

Alan got to see his 2 cousins that live in Virginia, YAY!!!

Cousin Will was very excited to see Alan and wanted to hold him,

It was very bittersweet when we had to leave we only get to see Jack's brother and his family about twice a year and we miss them so much.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and it was so special to have an addition to our family. I can't wait until Alan really understands what the Christmas season is all about (the birth of our Lord). Alan had more than he knew what to do with, but it was so fun and we enjoyed being with our family so much.

We started celebrating by going to my home church's candlelight Christmas Eve service and Alan joined us and was an absolute angel (and he even had communion with his Daddy and me), after that we ate supper with my family and some friends.

Christmas morning we woke up and Santa had definitely stopped to see ALL of us, so we unwrapped presents with my parents and Mama G (my grandmother), after that we went to have lunch with my other grandmother and to see what Santa left for us at her house.

Then on the 27th we celebrated with the Anglea's (after Jack's brother could get home from Virginia), it was great to have everyone there. We had brunch over there and it was delicious. We celebrated Christmas then we celebrated Jack's birthday that was the day before, it was a great time, we just wish it didn't pass by so fast.
