Round three of decorations--UNDER THE SEA!

Again, CRICUTS of fun!  Thanks Mom and Jenny!

Okay, so CRABBIE could not be further from the truth when describing Cannon, but I thought it would be too cute!  Especially with the crab sticker!  Cannon is so very content and so very happy that seriously the only complaints you hear from him is when he is hungry and even then it really is nothing compared to another little guy that I once knew (AHEM...Chandler).  I had planned on putting this across the front but with the last round of decorations I had put ARRRR MATEY! across the front and a lady at church stopped us to proclaim that "Our sweet Mattie was the cutest little girl she had ever seen!" HA!  So I did not want anyone thinking we had named our precious little BOY Crabbie!

So many choices!

It's somewhat coincidental that my classroom is also ocean themed...but...don't worry after our upcoming appointment with our helmet lady the next round of decorations will be debuting soon!

This is six weeks post-op!  We actually just marked our two month cranioversary on the 22nd!!!  WAHOO!  Amazing at what our little journey has entailed!  The difference of even a week prior to this picture is unbelievable!

Can you guess who this baby is?  This is our little Chandler at six months!  All too cute!

And this sweet boy, is our sweet Cannon at six months.  Styling the same pair of shades and as his bib states "CUTE and I know it!"

So I had to throw in another comparison picture.  This is Chandler at six months.  Behind him is the picture he gave me for Mother's Day.  What good taste for such a little guy!

This is Cannon at six months!  I will leave the resemblance thoughts to you.  I also wanted to include LOTs of pictures in this post as I have not of late, but Cannon has learned a new trick.  His trick is his ability to close his eyes at just the right moment, so when mommy takes the picture his eyes are closed and seriously they are closed in ninety-five percent of the pictures of late.  I have even resorted to putting my hand in front of the camera in hopes to trick the little guy, but never fail look at this shot, it did not work.  The solution of turning off the flash before taking the picture would be great, except then the picture is SO grainy and not very clear.  So I refuse to give up!  I guess we just need more practice.  Let's see how the next ones turn out!

Well...at least we know it is a family trait!  HAHA!  Again, closing our eyes at the perfect timing so mommy cannot capture how absolutely adorable our eyes are! 

So this picture might be a little scary with me in it, but alas we have eyes!

AH! See what I mean!

Well...I wanted to show off our ocean themed helmet and thought maybe I would have better luck in capturing Cannon with his eyes open while eating.  Did not work!  But look at that big boy holding his own bottle!  They grow SO fast!

Our little crabbie patty! 

So mommy thought...OH how cute would it be to capture my little guys in their matching outfits.  But the key to this is it must be done first thing in the morning before Cannon spits up or poops out of his outfit.  So low and behold, in the morning rush when we HAVE to get to places on time, I thought we would throw in a photo session.  I also thought perhaps we had overcome our ability to close our eyes at the flashing camera so we could get some A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. shots, but I think I was mistaken.  Still the pictures were way too cute not to post!

When will this lady give up?

Seriously...mom first thing in the morning?

Fine if she will not, I will give up!

Well at least a little rain couldn't damper this guy's fun!  He was SO excited when he awoke to the clouds and rain because guess what?  "I get to wear my rain boots today! YAY!"

Oh and my rain coat!  Can you tell we have not had rain lately!  For the what seems like once a year occasion, we have to get out all the rain gear!

AT LAST!!!!! (and yes, the Etta James song comes to mind)

AGAIN!!!!

Can you tell I am excited?

Chandlerisms from this week:

Chandler was busy playing with his Little People School Bus while I was cooking dinner.  I overheard the conversation of the Little People on the school bus all excited to be going to school (aka under the couch) when all of the sudden as the passengers were unloading someone from the bus shouted "Oh no, we forgot Jesus!"  "Well I guess we better go get him!"  So everyone loaded back onto the bus so they could go to Jesus' house as, "School cannot start without Jesus," Chandler informed them!

As we arrived home, I was unloading all of my things and the boys, I brought in my final load and thought Chandler was right behind me.  I came on in to get dinner started, pick up the house, put things away and lay Cannon down to play when I heard Zoe barking.  I went to the back door and Chandler had not followed me in, but instead he had put on his bike helmet and was riding around.  I informed Chandler that it was fine that he was playing, but he really needed to let me know that he was outside so that I could make sure he was safe.  He informed me "But momma I already put on my helmet, it will protect me!"  Too sweet!
