Christmas and post Christmas!

Now that Duke is one this blog will turn into updates that will be random.  Mom is running out of time now that Duke is on the run and wants to make sure the nights are spent reading to her little man!  We will never forget to include the unforgettable moments.  Enjoy all the photos from our Christmas celebration plus the weeks after as we all battled some colds, and the cold of MN!  We are very blessed to have so many family and friends to surround Duke with endless love.  Over the holidays it makes anyone reflect on how lucky you are to have a house, clothing, food, health and others to share it with.  As we enter 2014 we are so blessed to have this little man give us unforgettable moments we never knew we would have and we look forward to many more of those little moments that will never be forgotten.  Enjoy!!

As we are trying new foods, Duke is in love with strawberries, and hot dogs!

Today everything gets picked up and moved.



He still loves his naked time.

Fun  project to start the new year!  Paint in zip lock bags.


For morning snack we went back to the Cheerios pool to see how Duke would react this time around.  Yes he loved it and fully took advantage of all the Cheerios.


Love this face!  So happy.

Teasing Jet.....
