We have a walker on our hands...

Kannon turned 15 months on 12/12, just a few days ago. Seems like just yesterday he was just a little bitty baby! Yesterday, 12/14, my mom came by to drop off her dog and the in-laws were here helping diagnose a washing machine problem and also to drop off their dog. Everyone is traveling this weekend and Russell gets the job of dog sitter! While everyone was here Kannon decided to take his first steps. It was by accident too. He didn't realize that no one was holding onto his hand because he was holding a piece of toast and not someone's hand! He then took one small step and stopped, then took another and another before sitting down. He did this maybe 5 times yesterday! We are so excited and no proud of our little man!

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Soon to be Christmas....




Kannon had a blast on Halloween. As you can see he was a tiger. Specifically, Mike the Tiger!! (Geaux Tigers!) He really enjoyed seeing all the people. We sat in the front yard and handed out candy with Sunshine and PawPaw Wayne. Kannon even went to a few neighbors houses to say hello. He tried to crawl into each like he belonged there!

Then there was Thanksgiving....
Kannon absolutely LOVED Thanksgiving. We went over to the Eyring's house for Thanksgiving. Kannon had a blast playing with his cousins and visiting with family. Most of all, he LOVED the food. He ate a huge plate of food, but that wasn't surprising. We are so lucky to have such great cooks in the family!!!

And now onto Christmas. Russell and I have been slacking on the Christmas cheer this year. There's just a lot going on right now. Lots of decisions, decisions, decisions. Russell's job just moved even farther away and now he has quite the hike to get to and from work. So, we have recently been trying to get our house ready to put on the market. Our 'honey-do" list is quite lengthy still, but at least we have started. So, Christmas hasn't been on the top of our list. We finally put up our lights last night. We went and bought some new LED, energy star rated lights. And they are pretty cool! We still have ALL of our Christmas shopping to do too. YIKES!!! But I enjoy shopping so I won't complain... Wish us luck!
