Getting ready for x-mas!!!

This was our runner-up picture for our x-mas cards this year.  I had a hard time deciding :)  I cant believe x-mas it just 12 days away!!!

The only way Garrett would sit still was bribing him with a sucker :)  I can't believe it is garrett's 3rd x-mas!!Where has the time gone!!  My little baby is turning into such a little boy!!  Garrett is 26 pounds and he is a ball full of energy!!  He is constanting running, throwing, wrestling, and finally he is really talking!!!  He is putting sentences together and is starting to pronunciate better!!  Garrett was having a hard time getting down to sleep at night so for the last couple weeks we have been limiting his nap to 1 hour and making sure he takes a nap early in the day.  We also have become really strict on his meal schedule and have eliminate sugar from his diet.  We have cut back on snacks throughout the day to encourage him to eat more at meal time.  I have to stay it is working because tonight he eat a whole plate of chicken and rice for dinner!!!  And he loved it!!!  Garrett still goes to Gymboree (we have been doing it since he was about a year old).  They have Art, Music and Gym classes there.  We go to a least 2 classes a week.  So fun!!  Today Garrett made 3 Art projects with glue, paint, glitter, and finger paint.

It is Dylan's 1st x-mas!!!  I cant wait to show him all the joy that this holiday brings!!  Dylan is getting bigger everyday!!  He weighs 22lbs now aand he is wearing 12-18months clothes.  He is able to wear a lot of Garrett's winter clothes from the last 2 years.  It is nice to see get use of the clothes again and see another little body fit into them.  Ohh how it brings back memories from when Garret was little!!  

Dylan is babbling a lot and can say "mama" and "dada"!!  So cute!!  It melts my heart!!  Dylan is constantly laughing and smiling!!  He is such a happy baby!!  Dylan is pushing up on all fours and it starting to rock but has not started to crawl yet.  He is sitting and reaching for toys and almost can go from sitting to lying on his stomach.  Dylan is eating some fingers foods including puffs, baby mum-mums, soggy cherrios, and teething biscuts.  Its hard to believe he is 9 months old already!  Man I love this little guy so much!!
