Let the Big Boy Eat

I wanted to share with everyone, how fun breakfast, lunch, and dinner is for Christian. I for one am excited when meal time isn't so messy. Although I have to say Christian can do some funny tricks while eating. Recently, he enjoyed putting his cup on top of his head and balancing it. Grace school here we come!

Christian is starting to not like bibs as much. He use to just leave them a lone, now he will try to pull it off, if I don't give him something to play with.

Snow Camping

I went snow camping with some of the scouts in our ward. Honestly, I was scared to death, but all in all it turned out to be okay. I didn't sleep to well, but I was not cold during the night, so that was a plus. We slept in snow caves that had been constructed the weekend before. Most of the structures had picnic table skeletons; the scouts and leaders dug out the snow from under the tables at the camp ground. I really wasn't looking forward to going, and participating in the scouting program hasn't been my favorite thing, but I think this outing was a turning point for the better. Here some pictures of the structures that were used during the camp:

Christian has skills!!!

Christian has recently started playing with balls. Heather started this by rolling the ball across our coffee table to him. Christian will grab the ball and sometimes roll it back. Sometimes he just holds it and now he bounces the ball off the coffee table. I wonder if he is trying to dribble. We took him to my nephew's basketball game this past weekend, and after we got back he has been doing this ever since. This could just be coincidence but nonetheless it is very entertaining to watch. A few days ago, just for fun, I tossed Christian the ball, only from like a foot a way, and to my surprise, he caught it! We repeated this several times and he caught it more than once, so it is not a fluke. I was so impressed! Here are some videos of his new found skills:

Monkey Trouble

Christian has many toys he plays with everyday. Here are some of his favorites: his basketball hoop, his push bike that makes music, and his monkey. He will go throughout the day playing with these things several times a day. Christian likes to keep putting the ball through the hoop until it starts playing music then he dances to the music. This video shows what he like to do with the monkey.

Dancing Christian

Christian has discovered how to dance. He has really great rhythm. It is really cute to watch him. He can do all kinds of dances. Sometimes its like he dancing to rap, other time he is turning around in a circle and holding one hand in the air. In these videos, he is dancing and clapping his hands at the same time.

Happy Birthday Christian Dear!!!!

Christian turn one yesterday. It seems weird that this year has already passed. Christian has brought much happiness to our family. We can imagine our life without him. It has been enjoyable to watch him grow. We thank Heavenly Father every day for sending Christian into our lives. Our lives have change for the better since Christian came to our family. Here are some pictures of Christian celebrating his birthday with family. My parents, Troy, Tiffani, Rachel, Rebekah, and Melanie all came to his birthday party.
