Christmas Card Attempt

We attempted to take Christmas pictures for our Christmas card, as you can see Stafford wasn't real corporative, but of the many pictures I took, I think we can find one, even though he might not be looking at the camera and smiling. What else would you expect from a 17 month old.

First Haircut

Stafford got his first haircut last week. I was very hesitate about getting it done, but is was starting to get a little shaggy and in his face. So I gave in and got it trimmed, but don't worry I didn't get the curls cut and it really just looks like it is shaped up. He probably will still get mistaken for a girl.
He did so well though. He just sat there like a big boy and never made a peep, just the look of shock on his face the entire time. It was cracking us up. So here are a few pictures.

Getting Ready for X-mas

We decorated the Christmas tree this weekend and attempted to take Stafford to see Santa at the clubhouse on Sunday, but as you can tell from the pictures he was having nothing to do with him. I was afraid to tramatize him to bad, so we got what pictures we could. We may try it again at the mall.

Thanksgiving 2007

We had a good Thanksgiving, even though Stafford was a little under the weather. We tried to feed him the great feast, but he didn't eat to much. As you can tell from the picture of him with the Fruit Loops, that is what he wanted instead.

Learning Early

We went to Chris's parents to help them work on their new house a few weekends ago and Stafford wanted to join in and help out all he could. It was all we could to keep him out of the paint.

Lights on the Square

We met with Sarah Henry and her family for the Lighting of the Square this past weekend. Stafford loved seeing all the lights and started clapping when all the lights were lit. Lots of family fun. We may even attempt the Lights of Silver Dollar City, even though Mom and Dad do not enjoy big crowds of people. Hey, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to make your child happy, Right? :)

Cousins Weekend Visit

Sydnee and Cooper came to visit and we took a few pictures of them playing around. Stafford always has a great time playing with them because they just can't keep their hands off of him. I'll have to post more later.

Silly Stafford

These pictures just make me laugh. He is now mobile and everywhere. These pj's he had on made us laugh because it is the first pair of footy pj's he has worn since he was a baby and he looked so funny walking in them.

Family Pic

We don't get to get to many family pics together so here is one from this last weekend in Branson. Chris was in a wedding, so I thought we better take advantage of him in a tux and get a picture.

Little Beckham

Stafford dressed up as David Beckham for Halloween this year. At least that is what we tell everyone. I guess he could be just a soccer player, but David Beckham sounds better.

Tower Time

Chris loves building Stafford a tower and Stafford loves knocking it down. He hasn't yet got figured out how to build the towers yet, just making a big mess with the blocks.

Refrigerator Obsession

Stafford's new thing is getting into the frig. However, this lasted about a week after we have broken a couple of glass jars. So now we are trying to keep him out of the frig. At first it is really cute until you have to keep cleaning up messes that are coming out of the frig.

Car Wash

This is Stafford's reaction as we are going through the automatic car wash. It is quite funny to watch him as we make our way through.

Colorado Trip

Stafford learned to climb up the ladder to the top bunk we were amazed. He is a climbing fool.

As you may be able to tell from the pictures, I forgot to take any pictures of the trees turning while we were out there. They were absolutely gorgeous. We were having such a good time I forgot to take pictures of everyone. This will probably be the last trip to Colorado this year because of the baby coming during ski season. We hate that we will miss it, Chris has his hopes high that I will decide to go in late March before the season is over with both the kids. We will see.

Popcorn TIme

Stafford loves Popcorn for his snacktime. I love to watch him eat it.
