Pictures!

At his 9 month well check!  Looks like the little alien is telling him a secret!

Bad mom! Letting him chew on the tylenol bottle!

Playing with his friend Lucy! She is so sweet!

She has tons of fun toys

At Lucy's house having dad push him on the Rocket!

Date night for Ben and I to a wedding

Playing dad's guitar

They BOTH love to ride! Ben opens the door and Sealy jumps in!

He loves playing the piano as well!

We have Forward Motion...

Chance can now crawl! He took his first "forward motion" as Ben's mom (Gran) would say Wednesday! We are so proud of him. You can also see that he is so proud of himself as well! When we put him to bed last night he crawled to the side of the crib and pulled himself up on his knees. I found him like this again this morning. Time to lower his bed!

9 months old!

I know that everyone says this but...Oh my goodness I can't believe our little Chance is 9 months old! He is still the happiest little guy!  Fun facts for 9 months old:

• Still no crawling forward...can scoot backwards pretty good. 
• Loves to be standing up (on the window sills, his toys, and his favorite is for you to "walk" him around)
• Stills loves to suck his thumb mainly when his is tired
• Still loves the dogs (he is partial to Sealy the weanie dog:))
• Laughs with a little bit of Aunt Judy in him (my Aunt Judy snorts a little when she laughs!)
• Can say dada, baba, uhuh, uhoh, and can Ca like a bird! (I don't think he knows exactly what he is saying except for dada he knows who that is!)  He will repeat a lot!
• Has a great arm!
• He a VERY loud eater! When he is done he does the motorboat to signal no more!
• Has a staring problem out in public, he is very much a people watcher!
• Would spend all day outside if we let him!
• Is a morning person. He wakes up ready to greet the world!
• Loves to read books and will turn the pages for you!

Just to show he isn't smiling ALL the time!

Chance's new trick!

He will try this with about anything! This is what I call talent! You can tell what a funny personality he has!

Christmas in Lubbock!

We traveled to see my family over Christmas!  We had a wonderful time with all the family.  Chance loved watching his cousins!  We stayed busy the whole time we were there seeing family and playing with everyone.  This included a dance off on the Wii between me and Lauren versus Ben and Griffin! (sorry I only got video no pics)  Ben and I even got to go out on a little date to go see Narnia!  Thanks Mimi and Aunt Stacy!  It was so much fun!  What a great First Christmas for our sweet little boy!

On our way to church all dressed up! (Doesn't my mom look beautiful!)



Christmas Eve Service (only family pic I got)  Chance loved the music and eating MumMums!

Christmas morning! My pajamas were in Chance's room so I had to borrow from my mom!  I am a sight to see!

Santa came!

Christmas 2010 Part 1

We celebrated the weekend before Christmas with Ben's family. We had a great time! Chance loved the wrapping paper and bows.

Family picture with all the dogs (Chance is trying to grab Sealy)

Look at all that drool!  He is so happy!

This is a horrible picture of me, but Chance was yelling at his Gran because she wasn't paying enough attention to him!

When we got home that weekend Chance did another first...He stood up in his bed from a seated position! He was so excited about it!

3rd Annual Tacky Christmas Party!

This year was the 3rd annual Hobb's tacky christmas party! We did not put as much effort as we have in years past, but still maintained the theme of tacky.  We were not the winners; the Nichols stole our title! Take a really close look at Travis' shirt!  Too funny!
