Almost Christmas

Vinny's first Christmas is almost here....but this won't be the one he remembers. In the great words of my husband (as he looked over to Vinny) "Sorry buddy, it's not your year". This was off of a conversation about the extreme amount of gifts Emery is going to get.

Vinny is moving and grooving these days. His crawling is now super fast and we caught him free standing for a few seconds here and there as he moves from the ottoman to the couch. He is just getting over RSV (which of course happened while Dave was home with both kids and I was in Nashville for the Baseball Winter Meetings). He's feeling better now, though he did wake up with a nasty cough yesterday morning. He's been eating like a mad man. The kid eats pretty much anything you put in front of him. at one point Dave said to me "should i stop feeding him?" this was after 2 pieces of bread and an entire apple.

Emery was sick as well but is handling it much better. (The difference between 2 years and 10 months.) Ever since Halloween (when she received two princess costumes from Aunt Carole) she has been snow white or Cinderella at least once a week. This morning she went to school as snow white .... with a pink tu-tu under the dress. oh yes, that's my kid. her speech is so much clearer these days, it's simply amazing to watch her grow. I am loving it!

Dave and I are doing good. I think he's fighting something, but seemed to feel better today. He's been up in North Caroline for a few days working on a job site. We're doing holiday shopping this weekend and having friends over for dinner. I am super excited because Natalie, Liv, Trace and Hunt will all be here for Christmas! So cool!
