A New Accomplishment

Brooks is now walking...well, falling and walking and falling again...but doing a lot of walking, nonetheless. It started a few weeks ago with the tentative first step and since then he's added more every few days, until yesterday he would do marathon stretches of up to 20 steps! Way to go, little guy!

Happy Birthday, Adalynn

Our sweet Adalynn turned 3 on Friday! We celebrated with lots of pink things: pink pancakes, a pink smoothie, and of course, pink cupcakes. We stayed busy and ran lots of errands on Friday (she loves to be out and about) and then celebrated with a family pizza dinner when Daddy came home. She is very proud to be three years old.

Christmas with the Wykoffs

Brooks enjoyed the excitement of Christmas,
but was happy to let his sister open most of his presents
for him. We'll see how that changes next year!



Our pathetic gingerbread house. It was our first attempt.
We know better now that it is important to follow the directions on the icing package.


Daddy and Adalynn enjoying some cuddle time.


Adalynn had so much fun in Chattanooga with her cousins.
Here they are going on a holiday march to get out some extra energy. It is hard to be patient while waiting for 27 people to open presents.
