Our Little Mover and Shaker

Just wanted to update everyone...Sutton is: crawling, pulling up (on everything!), sitting up unsupported, and...she's getting her first tooth!!!  I can't believe everything's happening so fast.  She's such a cutie and so much fun!  

We went Christmas shopping on Sunday, and we got her a really cool gift (at least we think so, she may hate it!).  We're excited about Christmas, and we're spending with with my family this year, but Jack's mom and dad are coming in to spend the day with us as well.  So, Sutton will have both sets of grandparents with her on her first Christmas!

I'm thinking about training for a half-marathon to be completed some time in late April or early May (it's hard to get motivated), so if anyone is interested in training with me, let me know--I need an accountability partner!!!!

I've added a couple of photos and videos to dropshots, so check them out.

Sutton's Six Months Old Today!

Wow!  Can't believe it's been a month!  So much has gone on...trip to Fredericksburg for Jack's cousin's wedding, trip to Houston for Jack's friend's wedding, and then a trip to Tyler for Thanksgiving!  We've been super busy.

First, we headed down to Fredericksburg for the family wedding.  We stayed in a really neat B&B with Nonna, Pops, Lara, Jesse, and Finn.  Finn is soooo cute!  We had a lot of fun with them.  It was also the first time for Jack's family in Fredericksburg to meet Sutton...she was kind of a grouch.  I think the long trip down there took its toll!

The following weekend, we headed to Houston for Peyton's wedding...another long trip in the car, but Sutton was a champ!  She slept the whole way back!  Again, this was the first time for some of Jon, Cathy, and Jack's friends to meet Sutton--she was a good girl this time!:)

In the meantime, Sutton has been rolling over like a pro, and guess what???!!!  She started crawling on Saturday, November 22nd--She's just under 6 months old!  The crawling was a little shaky, but she's moving right along now, and I just know that we'll be chasing her around like crazy people for the next several months...or years!  She's also been sitting in a high chair at restaurants and riding in the seat in shopping carts--she holds on and swings her legs and you can just tell that she's so proud of herself and having so much fun!

We spent Thanksgiving with Jack's family in Tyler, and we had a great time. Finn is talking so much, and he says everyone's name.  Lara said that he's woken up a couple of times, saying, "Sutton...picture."  He's been wanting to see the pictures of Sutton on the computer--isn't that cute?  He's such a happy little guy, and Jack and I can see what else we can look forward to with Sutton.  She's already the cutest thing, so we can't really imagine it getting any better!  We're looking forward to Christmas with our little crawler.  She's also started babbling a lot and pulling up on things (this is still really shaky and not always successful!).

We've got our Christmas stuff up, and we're ready to celebrate!  Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Oh, we've added new pics to the dropshots website.  Check them out!
