Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving day.  It was a first for us….gathering with family, but not traveling…we had a 5 minute drive to the Rowbury festivities at Michael and Laura’s home.  I enjoyed spending the day together, eating too much delicious food, and having fun.

Kimball, Calvin, Logan, Bridget and Sterling wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving…but please no more pictures!

Sterling taking a turn in Grandpa Rowbury’s arms.  This is the first time, that I can remember, that Sterling has snuggled and let Dad hold him.

Snow

Last Sunday it snowed a bit.  Sterling was entranced with the white stuff.  He had no desire to touch the snow but really loved walking around pointing and saying “dis, dis.”

Sterling’s tricks

Sterling is not a little baby anymore!  He is growing up.  The past few weeks he has discovered dangerously fun deeds!  He is a climber…climbing on the table is quite common…I found him eating yogurt, oh what a sticky mess.

Just yesterday, he braved going down the stairs on his own…he was fairly careful and quite pleased with his bravery.  He chose to sit and scoot down, one stair at a time.  He also enjoys climbing on chairs to turn lights on and off, or play the computer (oh so many buttons), and if he could just get the phone life would be really fun, he thinks.  He is so busy he has lost most of the baby chunkiness.  What a big boy.

Happy Halloween

Meet the family…

Luke Skywalker, Ben 10, Frankenstein, man carrying twins, army guy and fairy princess!

and don’t forget mom, dressed as a baby!

How did we get such a beautiful day for Halloween?  It was so cold, windy, and snowy all week.  We woke up to sunshine on Saturday…and it even stayed decent until the sun went down…just in time to end the trunk or treat and go home :)

Sterling really got into the trick or treating.  He really liked carrying his own bucket and choosing handfuls of treats from people…which by the way the neighbors thought it was so adorable they let Sterling take whatever he wanted.  He knows how to charm.

Oh no, I can’t see Logan, where did he go?

Phew…Bridget fluttered on over and found him.  Yummy candy!

Faces of Sterling

Sterling is 15 months old.  He is below 3% on the charts for his height and weight and his head circumference is close to 50%.  He has some great facial expressions…and he is a determined little guy.
