Cool Blog Christmas Card

So my sister is going green and did not want to waste paper sending out a Christmas Cards. I told her I was really disapointed because I love getting Christmas Cards in the mail. Well she made a really cool electronic Christmas card instead and I wanted to share it with the people that follow my blog to give you an idea of how it turned out. www.gilliamclan.blogspot.com

Need some Tee Pee?

Cain loves to climb up on the tiolet and knock down the toilet paper onto the floor. Well usually he forgets about it after it hits the floor but Friday morning he discovered the fun world of Tee Peeing.

I Like to Eat

So Cain loves to eat table food, he now does not want baby food at all. It is so much fun to watch him and see what he thinks of everything. We just found out yesterday that he has a double ear infection, he wouldn't drink anything but he had no problem eating tacos, ham and beans, spaghetti, and his favorite mandarine oranges.

He was really miserable on Wednesday night when we gave him Ham and Beans, we were so stressed out because we didn't know why he was upset that we forgot to put his bib on, before we knew it he had all over him. He looks like he is burping.

You can tell we are corny first time parents because we took like 10 pictures of this cheerio behind his ear. We thought it was so funny.

Recipe

So I love sharing recipes, and when I find a good and easy one that everyone likes, I usually e-mail it out to my co-workers. So today when I made this cake for our food day and everyone asked for the recipe I decided to post it so everyone could enjoy it.

Annual Ferguson Christmas PJ's

For the last 3 years my mother has bought Christmas Pajamas for all her grandkids. The first year she only had to buy 4 sets, last year it went up to 5, and this year it went up to 7, that is a lot of PJs. It was really crazy to get kids ranging from ages 2 months to 5 years old together and happy. We had to do it on two spearate days, that is why my nephew Matt has a different hairstyle in the two pictures. I don't think I got the best pictures but they were as close as I could get.

Christmas/9 month Pictures

We had Cain's pictures taken again at Miles and Me. www.milesandme.com She was having a Christmas Special, so we had some Christmas ones taken and some regular ones taken. Cain had just woken up from a car nap so he was really somber, so I was kind of disappointed that we did not have more smiling pictures. Something kind of funny is that the first few pictures he has a snow flake ordament behind his head and it looks like he is wearing a tiarra.

My Magic Shoes

One of the gifts we got when Cain was born were a pair of Nike High Top shoes. We finally got to put them on him on Sunday. he was not sure of them at first and I kept thinking he wanted them off but my mom said let him get used to them. So he stayed in them most of the day and I sent him to daycare in them on Monday. When Chris picked him up that night the ladies went on and on about how cute the shoes were and how well he did in them. He pulled himself up to everything and he even stood for 7 seconds without holding on to anything.
