Enjoying the Ride :)

I loved his sweet smile during this!  A mixture of being unsure but digging it!

Practice Run

I got my new backdrops in the mail for my photos...I want about a bazillion more - they are fantastic, exciting, and I finally found a place that can sell them for a reasonable price (okay, okay, Trevor found the place!)!  I tested a few out very quickly with Moose tonight as bedtime was fast approaching.  I will be using a couple of them for the Christmas Minis this weekend.

LOVE YOU MOOSE!  Looking forward to taking some real Christmas photos...when it isn't 8 pm at night!  Thanks for being a good sport and helping Mommy out :)

'Hi...Papa'

'Hi'!  'Papa?' 'Hi'!

Whenever Moose sees someone on the phone or pick up the phone he says 'Hi!'!  It's cute.  Lately, he has been picking up the phone and saying hi to Papa.  But, when we call Papa and he says hi back...Moose does nothing but smile!  One day it will amaze him less and he can have a small conversation!  Until then...Papa will have to imagine his smile on the other end when all he hears is silence!

The 'look'!

Does this 'look' look familiar?!?!  He MUST get it from his daddy!!! (wink wink)

Last week after we set up the tree we went out to Nana and Papas to put groceries in their fridge and check their mouse traps before they came home.  We decided to hit up East Side Marios because there aren't any left in Edmonton...it was disappointing.  The food is so very not as good as it used to be!

 Jackson showing off his tree! 'WOW'!

Apple Time

Jackson thoroughly enjoyed his apple - straight up off the core!  He was really fun to watch.

 Do you like the owie on his forehead - paired with the bruises I'm sure it looks fantastic!?!  Poor little moose doesn't always slow down enough to gage where his head is going to go.  He is getting better though!  It was a rough week!  Doesn't seem to slow him down though!

Fashion Statement!

 The other day Jackson woke up a little disheveled!  He somehow managed to get his arm out of his jammies!  I'm not sure when in the night this happened, but he thought it was pretty fashionable!

Where's your belly button (his new favorite thing to show off!)?!

And...another hair cut!

About every three weeks Moose gets a hair cut!  He felt quite left out when we cut Daddy's hair and not his last week, so he got his own special haircut this week!  He is always so good.  I do it before bath because he gets itchy!  Can you tell he's tired in the last couple photos?!

Before..with his little side wings!

After in the tubbers.  He actually said "cheese" as I took this photo.  All on his own.

Christmas Decor!

Last weekend we bit the bullet and hauled out most of the Christmas decor!  It's always such a huge mess and big task, but the pay off is well worth it!  I don't mind the process, because Trev does the worst part!  He sets up the tree and 'fluffs' it!  I get to do the pretty, fun things!  Believe it or not, I didn't post an after photo yet!  But the tree and stairs are done and the knick knacks are out and about!  You all know how consuming that can be!  We did it a bit early because I hosted a Stampin' Up party yesterday to make Christmas cards, so it was only fitting...then I have the Christmas Minis next weekend...18 photoshoots booked...can you believe it?!  Man, I appreciate all the support and success I've had.  Love the families I've met :)

We had to move Moose's toy shelf over.  It isn't horrible and he hasn't minded!

Cleaned and packed up his toy mat!  Sigh...

Kia did what she does best...supervised with her eyes closed!

 Jackson came down after his nap and it was dark and lit up.  It wasn't fully decorated yet, but he didn't hold back his soft 'WOW' which melted my heart and showed me what Christmas is all about.  I love his special moments of wonder and amazement!

Swimmin'

Moose's love for the bath tub hasn't faded an ounce.  In fact, I'm pretty sure it's increased.  He LOVES his bath.  He has been doing lots of 'swimming' in his tub where he gets on his belly, kicks his legs, practices blowing bubbles, and goes for it!  He also loves to listen to the water as the tub is draining.  He will quickly get on all fours and put his ear in with a huge smile.  It's so cute.  As soon as I say 'it's time to pull the plug', he goes straight to the plug and tries to get it pulled!  He then insists on sitting in the bath tub splashing his sillies out until all the water is gone...and maybe a bit longer after that!  He LOVES his bath...and I LOVE that he loves water so much!

Shaw...internet blues.

Can you believe it has been SO LONG since my last post?!  I can totally take responsibility for some of my tardiness...however, our internet over here has been HORRIBLE!  That is an understatement.  Outside of editing photos, I haven't been on my computer much at all!  I'm connected one second, the next second I'm not.  I can only use internet in ONE room in the house.  Shaw has been out a couple times...and there's still no resolution.  It drives me bananas so often I just don't bother anymore!  I'm sorry.  I have some catching up to do now!

Many Breakfast Faces

Jackson is a very charismatic person...there's no other way for me to put it!  He oozes personality.

Love You Moose :)
