Merry Christmas from Biloxi!

We spent the little man's 1st Christmas in Biloxi.  It was so good to see everyone and to meet  the newest addition to the family...Declan Elise Rossi.  Here are some picture from our trip...

Deck The Halls

Well the little man is taking a long nap today, so you get two posts!  I took a few pictures of him by the Christmas tree with lights arounnd him, I saw the idea on pinterest.  He didn't cooperate very well, he kept wanting to put the lights in his mouth!  I also couldn't figure out the right setting on the camera. I also took a few more of the tree and an ornament he got from the Withrows. (using a different setting so the lights really twinkle)

First Tooth!

Two days before our little man turned 9 months, his first  tooth broke thru!  What an exciting day,but its a little bitter sweet.  This means that adorable gummy little smile that I love and have seen everyday for 9 months, well its days are numbered.

Happy Holidays

As I said, November was busy.  We ended the month with Thanksgiving with Wes' family in Hartselle, AL.  It was nice to get to spend a little "QT" with the family.  Amos had lots of fun with all his cousins.

Next getting ready for Christmas!  We decided to get a small real tree this year.  We will  be spending Christmas in Biloxi with my family this year and Amos is still so little, we thought  this would be better than putting up our big tree.  So we went and bought about a 4-5ft tree, it was already tied up so we didn't see what it actually looked like beforehand.  Well lets just say its a special little tree! (you will see in the pictures,its a work in progress...I still need something for the top)

Getting it ready to come inside

Amos loves this car...Thank you Lisa

We made it festive with a little piece of the tree

And The Tree...which Amos could care less about

And last, we need to get Christmas cards.  So I thought I would take Amos outside and see if I could get some cute pictures of him.  Last time I did this he was great...and now at almost 9 months its very hard to keep him still!  But here are some of the pictures I got.

Constantly moving...but happy!

He looks so much like Wes in this picture

And here

Love it!  He is such a happy baby!

Tomorrow we are supposed to go see Santa, so I will let you know how that goes!

Busy November

We have had such a busy November!  We have had visitors every week, and I was getting ready for a garage sale. So here is a quick summary of November so far...
 So the garage sale was scheduled for October ,but anyone who has ever done this knows what a  huge task it is and so we postponed it until yesterday.  So after weeks of gathering,moving(all of the stuff to Lisa's), tagging, sign making, and everything else that goes along with a garage sale (with an 8month old (for me) and 2 and 4 year old for Lisa)....$25 for me, $40 for Lisa and $30 for Katherine(Lisa's sister-in-law) Yeah,that's right that is what we made off of our wonderful garage sale!!!!!  Over all it was a fun day, exhausting but fun!
Next the visitors...
So David had to be in Birmingham for work at the beginning of the month so he came to see us and brought Amos the cutest present. He loves his Pal Scout! Thanks again!
Next my dad came up for a few days.
Then Aunt Liss came to visit! The night she got in to town, Amos was still awake. She played with him for a while and then it was time to go to bed. I was trying to get him to sleep and all he would do is look at her and laugh, then she would laugh, then I would laugh. Finally I had to tell aunt Liss she was going to go to time out if she didn't stop playing with him!!!  Anyway it was lots of fun and we can't wait for her to be here in December!!!!
