10 months...

Dawsie is 10 months old. I was reading my blog book the other day about Soph when she was this age. It seems like it was last week! I love 10 month olds. He is into everything! I have now put locks on every cupboard door. We keep all doors closed and the stairs are gated. He isn't happy about all of the changes because he thought he was really cool. He walks around everything and has let go and taken a few steps on his own. He also walks between us really well. I am wondering if he will be walking by Christmas. He loves big people food and will only eat baby food if it has bananas in it. We have pretty much just been feeding him whatever we eat. He says, Momma, Dada and Bobba. It is cute to hear his deep little voice. He loves balls and can actually throw them pretty far. He has attached himself to my blanket and sleeps so much better when he has it. He loves me to hold him, I don't mind it either but 21 pounds gets heavy after about 5 minutes. We are to the stage where the only time I can get anything done is nap time. He take 2, 2 hour naps. He is sleeping better as well and is only waking up twice now to eat. He copies everything Sophie does. It is so cute. We just moved him to his big boy car seat. He loves it and smiles the whole time. He can clap his hands, give high 5 and will give a big cheese when you say cheese. He loves to snuggle. He has to be bounced or rocked to fall asleep and will make an ahhhh sounds until he is completely out. I love him so much. He is so much fun!

Black Friday and a Movie...

We started our day at 1:45 am. Anticipating 5 degree weather, I layered as much clothing on myself as I possibly could. I picked up my mom who was likewise dressed in a million layers. The sky was clear and so beautiful as we drove to Target. With blankets, hand warmers and map in hand we set out for the back of the line. It was as long as it had been last year, maybe because we arrived earlier. We sat next to the building and wrapped ourselves in blankets. We made our plan and then became friends with all who were waiting around us. The 2 hours ticked by slowly, but I only got cold when we stood up for the last 10 minutes. The count down came, and then we ran. I was more running for the warmth of the store and because I Really wanted a basket. I felt sorry for the people last year who had their merchandise stacked in their arms because they had run out of baskets. There wasn't really anything I absolutely needed this year. I more went for the people watching and because it is a new tradition. The sales are awesome though and I ended up getting just about everything I needed for Christmas and I saved $400!! We were way more prepared this year and left around 8:30. We went to K-mart for some boots that they didn't have. Then we went to the mall. We ate at Corner bakery Cafe. They have the best hot chocolate in the world! We shopped the mall and were home around 1:30. I was able to take a little nap while the babes did. When we woke up we got ready, went to dinner at McDonald's and went and saw Tangled with my Family and Corey's parents. The movie was so cute! Dawsie did pretty well, and Soph loved it. Fun day... I am so tired!

Happy Thanksgiving...

We had a very Happy Thanksgiving. Grandpa Mike and Grandma Linda stayed at our house. Sophie was so excited all day, she helped me set the table and make the potatoes. We had Corey's family over at 1:00. The food was yummy and the kids had fun playing. We relaxed for a while and then went to Grandma Sharps. It was crazy and fun as always. Dawson ate his first bite of Turkey. He liked it pretty well. I am so thankful to be surrounded by people I love.

We are Crazy...

We ventured out on a cold night to see Harry potter at midnight. It was so fun to people watch. There were so many strange people dressed up. We had to take a picture with a few of them. Crazy!!! The movie was everything I hoped it would be! I loved it. I am not sure I will ever see a midnight showing again. I was so tired!

Sharp Pictures 2010...

Christmas Trees...

We had a great time on our annual Christmas tree hunting day. We took family pictures and it was freezing. My kids were in good spirits though! We bundled them in their snow gear, Dawson was not happy about it. We walked a little ways and then Daws and I went back to the car and Daddy and Soph continued on in search of our perfect tree. They picked a beautiful one and I can't wait to put it up!

Cheese...

This is Dawsies new trick. Is that not the cutest face you have ever seen? I love him to pieces. He is learning things so quickly now. He stands on his own and has even taken a few steps. He is very curious and gets into everything. I have had to put locks on all the cupboards, and now he figured out open drawers. He climbs onto anything he can and is really fast about it. He will only eat baby food if it is fruit. So we have pretty much given up and he is is eating a lot of table food. He is doing great with it! Soph is just as cute and as funny as ever. She loves her brother and can't wait until it's Christmas time! She saw snow on the mountains and said momma, that means it is almost time for Santa to come! I love my babes and am so grateful to be their momma.
