Where has the last 7 months gone?! It seems like every time I update my blog {and pat myself on the back}, it's way past time to do it again. Life has been crazier than ever before, but I know that being "busy" is just part of it. 'Tis the season!
Little man is growing up quickly. We have been eating food for about a month now, but still no finger foods. I gave him a yogurt melt last week, and you should have seen his face...GROSS! It is quite refreshing {sometimes} to know what they are thinking! I just wish it was the same when he was crying, I still have a hard time determining why.
Over the Thanksgiving break, we had pictures taken of Webber in his christening gown made by Lala. It was a huge success, and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting and working with Holland. She was wonderful and I highly recommend her!
On Thanksgiving day, we made our annual trip to the Jones Place in Perry County where little man got to visit with his great-grandmother Tootie along with his sweet cousins from Tuscaloosa! It was great to be with family, even for just a few hours.

We then continued our pilgrimage down to the beach where we were able to relax for the rest of the weekend. Thanksgiving is quickly becoming my favorite holiday of the year and the beach is where it's at on Thanksgiving weekend!
I was up EARLY every morning with Webber {like, before the sun came up}, but at least I was able to actually see the beautiful sunrise each morning...
The weather was fantastic. I have learned that you never go to the beach without flip flops, shorts and a bathing suit, no matter what time of year. I actually put on all three at least once over the weekend! It was warm enough to sit in the sun and catch some rays, but not nearly warm enough to get into the water {unless you are under the age of 9 and/or from the North}. There were plenty of kiddos jumping around in the water while their parents watched from shore bundled all up in a sweater. That's a good sign that it's probably too cold to venture in :).
Webber had his 7 month milestone on December 15th. This picture was the best I could do by myself, I just couldn't get that hand out of his mouth! But, it's an accurate reflection of where we are these days, or at least where his hands are at all times. We were able to get rid of the pacifier without a problem, but his hands are not going anywhere anytime soon...
