It's Freezing!

Tired after a long day of playing hard with daddy.

His favorite snack: slobbery fingers.


Reaching for the camera, as usual.

Playing with the ads.

Showing daddy what he wants from Santa.

Even though they lost, rootin' on the Chiefs.

Lovin his new carseat!

These arm rests are so cool (and so are my socks)!

So I know Gus isn't really saying it yet, but he started saying 'mmmmmmaaa' yesterday and it melts my heart every time! He honestly doesn't realize it yet, but it sounds like he is saying mama! Oh I love my little man. He is getting so independent. He is very interested in standing this weekend, as well as putting a few consonants together with vowels "m-a" and "k-a" is what we have gotten from his rambling so far. He also has a nasty cough but seems to just be frustrated with it, not in pain.

He is getting very excited for Christmas, as is mommy and daddy. We can't wait to come back to Iowa in a few days and see you all! We are not, however, excited to deal with Iowa's snow and below zero weather; we have had a little bit of the cold and ice and snow here in KC the last few days, but nothing like Iowa has had.

And congrats to Will and Steph on baby Jack, born on Friday night. We are so excited to meet Owen's new little brother!
