Cold Hands, Warm Heart

Nowadays we have to bundle up to keep warm when we go outside.
This interrupts Rock in his new favorite activity...
Putting his hands in his mouth.

Dad's Hair

Dad's hair tastes good.

Reaching

In December, Rock learned how to reach for things. Here he just grabbed the salt shaker. It's the little victories that count.

Nannying with a ROCK STAR!

Rock and I spent several days in December (and early January) nannying for a little girl named Siena who goes to my parents church. Rock loved swinging to sleep in her swing.
I love this onesie!
I think his eyes are changing to brown.

Red Face

Rock scratched his right cheek pretty badly in early December. It actually bled!
In order to disguise his wound, he turned his face as red as his carseat. Can't see that scratch now!

(Also, appreciate his turtleneck from Cokie -- when she bought this for him, Fix said "but he has no neck!")

December

Rock's first snowfall.
Sorry we didn't get better pictures of him in the snow, but hey -- that stuff is COLD!
A cute pre-bath picture. Bath time is still my favorite time of day. Rock likes it a lot too.

Very End of November

In honor of Fix's ordination, we made a cheese Bible in the style of the cheese football and cheese turkey.
Seeing as how he wasn't ordained this point, Fix thought you could preach from a cheese Bible... But we straightened him out after this sermon.
Molly was very interested in Rock's bouncer.
That same weekend we went to see THE WIZARD OF OZ -- starring Alexa (one of the gals in my Junior High Bible Study) as the Tin Man. Rock loved the play, but not how loudness of the Wizard. When the Wizard of Oz bellowed into the microphone, Rock burst into tears.
Ian was our favorite munchkin.Later on that night at the Colemans, Molly and Sophie had some girl-time.
Nick and Aiden
The California Coleman Ladies
Clip and Barb Sophie's not sure how she feels about recliners... or is it Mike?
Molly, blankets are not for eating.
Sophie I think you have a little hair in your face.
Happy parents.
Molly, Stephen, Fix and Rachel

This picture makes me laugh.
One of the pilgrim's from Rock's Thanksgiving Day Little People Mayflower ship. He wanted to grab her, but couldn't quite get his fingers to do the work...
