The Sick Little Bear

Last week Brecken had his first real case of the flu, or a closely related illness. Despite having had his flu shot, he was showing all the signs, so we let him post up in our bed until it finally passed. We've never seen our little guy so miserable!

Even when he's sick, he's as cute as can be!

He was signaling me to wipe his hands clean. Few things can upset the boy like sticky applesauce between the fingers!

Hours of back-to-back Yo Gabba Gabba helped 

"Turty" the turtle needed some comforting too...

snOMG I Love This Snow Baby!

Uh-Oh, Cheerio!

Don't worry, Ma. I got breakfast covered!

If you listen closely, you'll hear the sound of mama pulling her hair out!

Brecken at 17 Months

Okay, I admit it. I have been down right horrible about posting the past month or so. So now I've got a handful of random pictures of Brecken that are just begging to be posted... and far more importantly, I'd feel like an awful mommy blogger if I neglected his entire 17th month. I cannot believe he'll already be 18 months in just over a week! Eek!

Sit still for M&Ms (or as B calls them, M-Ms)? Deal!

Christmas Morning!

Santa was here!!

Huntin' For Our Christmas Tree

I realize I'm behind on posting this, but better late than never, right?!

On the wagon at the tree farm!

Let me show you how it's done, Dadda...

Our tree!

Christmas Card Outtakes

Below are a few of the outtakes in my quest for the perfect Christmas card photo. I am excited to say that I finally got THE shot(s), which most of you will be seeing in your mailboxes soon! :-)

This was taken right before he got fed up and launched the bulbed candle, shattering it into a million pieces. Then, while I was cleaning up, he proceeded to chuck big glass ornaments at the hardwood floors. Again, shattering. Point taken, little man. Point taken.

Bath Time

He loves to let the warm water run over him

The cutest little bum in all the land!!

You Are My Sunshine

His favorite new words lately are "Woah!" and "Ohhhh". I'm pretty sure he was saying one of the two in the photo above. :-)
