Visit with Santa

I took the boys to see Santa in San Antonio this past Saturday and we had a great time. On the drive down, I talked to Andon about visiting Santa to get him warmed up to the idea of seeing him. We talked about his white beard and his red suit and how nice Santa would be and how Audie was going to sit on his lap too. After waiting in line and watching the other kids sit on Santa's lap, I thought hmmmm.. this may not work out to well. To my suprise, after a few high five's from Santa, Andon crawled up on his lap for just a second - long enough to get a quick snapshot!

Christmas portrait time!

I took the boys to The Picture People in San Antonio on Sunday to have their Christmas portraits done and it was a bit of a nightmare to say the least. After a little over an hour drive, Andon was not wanting to cooperate at all. You would tell him to look at the photographer and he would do the opposite. Any other time he would pose for a photograph - but not that day -when I was paying good money for it! Anyway, after several tries and different poses, we managed to get a few good shots. Here is what we came up with!

Audie Taylor - 5 Months

This past month has been an active month for little Audie. He has reached several milestones such as rolling over and eating solid foods. He responds to his name and is always smiling. His favorite time of day is in the mornings. He always wakes up with a smile and enjoys watching his silly brother try to entertain him while we lay in bed. He is growing so fast - at his four month check up he weighed 17 pounds! He has grown to hate his car seat, which we discovered during our recent trip to the great grandparents home for Thanksgiving. Thank goodness he is moving up to his new toddler seat that Nana is getting him for Christmas! Maybe he will enjoy that better. He has been a super sweet baby and I have savoured every minute of it because I know they grow so fast. I can't wait to see what the next few months hold in store for us!
