Happy New Year!

This post is coming a little late, but after the holidays we just tried to take it easy and have not been doing much of anything. DJ and I spent our New Year's going to a nice dinner with friends and then drinks afterward. DJ's mom kept Dutch overnight for us, so we told ourselves we would come home right after the New Year to get some much needed rest...well, 3AM came quick!!! Needless to say, we partied like we were 21 again and definitely felt it the next day!

Dutch has been very busy these days. He really thinks he is bigger than he is and gets very frustrated when he cannot do what he wants. He has been trying to crawl, but at this point goes backwards and in circles. He would prefer to walk, but we are encouraging him to crawl first. He loves standing around the coffee table and tries to cruise around it as best he can. He also loves when someone holds his hands and he can walk around with assistance. We are going to have our hands full when he does take off!

Also over the holidays, our friends Jenna & Stephen came over with their little boy, Cash. Dutch and Cash are exactly one week apart. We rarely get to spend time with them because they live in Charleston, but it was great to have them over and allow the boys to "play."

Baby's First Christmas!

DJ and I had so much fun this Christmas...in fact, I am pretty sure we had more fun than Dutch did! We loved seeing him play with all of his toys on Christmas morning. As usual, Christmas Day is a little chaotic for us, but always a good time since we get to spend it with our families. We were all worn out once we got home from our long day. Here are some shots from our first Christmas with Dutch.

Gearing up for the Holidays

With Christmas right around the corner, we thought we'd take some pics of Dutch in his Santa hat. It was hard to really get him to look at me and smile, but I managed to get some good ones. We are so ready for Christmas and cannot wait to spend it with family, especially because this is Dutch's First. We also cannot wait to see Meghan, DJ's sister, who is home for the week!

Thanksgiving 2008

We had a very busy weekend with the holiday. We started out on Thursday with DJ's family at Kathleen and Eddie's house. It was so nice to see everyone and Dutch got to spend some time with his twin cousins that are just a few months older than he is. After eating there, we headed to my parents house to visit and eat AGAIN! Dutch loves spending time with his older cousins - he just watches their every move, anxiously awaiting when he can get down in the floor and play with them.

On Friday night, DJ and I had a shower to go to and on Saturday it was off to Clemson to see the big game. The Gamecocks didn't show up for the game, so I was happy to see the Tigers win!

We had a great week/weekend, but now it's back to the grind!
