Too Much Excitement.

We have had too much excitement in our lives this week. Thankfully, Christopher just kinda goes with the flow. Here are the highlights.


Here he is watching Daddy put in new batteries for the smoke detectors. They went off from 1-3 on Wednesday night. I have no clue how Christopher slept through them... even when we had to go into his room and check his batteries and set it off to make sure it was okay. We ended up replacing the batteries that were dead in the one that took AA but the other ones that were low took that 9V square battery- who has those just laying around?!? We finally shut the stupid things up. That right there is enough excitement for me for awhile!
 
See the creeper in the background... aka Matt... found a rat in his car the next day! He had been complaining about his car smelling like a dead animal and sympathetic me told him to get a Scentsy scent circle and get over it. So when I got the email the next day saying he found a rat behind his air filter, part of my felt bad, but the larger part laughed out loud. Hard. :) Thank goodness he wasn't driving around with Christopher in his car!
Then, we had family pictures Saturday morning! Nana came into town to babysit Christopher so that Matt and I could enjoy ourselves at our cul-de-sac block party so it worked out perfectly to do the pictures that day as well so she could get a couple of her and Christopher and all of us. Here is what Christopher wore for the first part of the pictures. He looked so handsome! Unfortunately, the runny nose he had almost gotten rid of came back because the temperature dropped like crazy this weekend!
Uncle Anthony tried to feed Christopher his carrots. Christopher wanted the spoon. Anthony didn't quite know how to gently pull it from him... and BAM. There we go with a huge glob on the nose.
Christopher was ready for his 5:00 nap and Uncle Anthony thought a small swig of beer might help him sleep better.
We brought out Christopher's exersaucer to the party. He had just eaten before we went out so the exersaucer is the calm toy....

But then Christopher saw his buddy Austin jumping in his jumperoo and he started jumping in the exersaucer so we had to go get his jumperoo! The boys were so cute playing out there!
And here is Christopher's new favorite toy. When you give Christopher a new toy he just plays with it- doesn't get all excited and shriek, but when he sees Mickey he does! Unfortunately, Rocco liked Mickey too this weekend so he has to go for a trip in the washing machine before Christopher plays with it again!
Rocco certainly loves Christopher. Christopher isn't too sure yet. Mom said he screamed when he saw him last night when she brought him in to nap... but then he was fine. He screamed when Matt and I came in and were playing with him... but then he was fine. Christopher better get used to the dog- soon! Rocco was giving Christopher morning kisses as we were leaving for Cracker Barrel. OHHH and if you remember the last time I went to Cracker Barrel I posted about that Just Chillin outfit I wanted- got it today for him... along with some train overalls. So cute! (and a dancing turkey!)
Hey Dad!

Playing the hand drums with Uncle Anthony. See his pajamas?! Another Notre Dame win! Christopher is crossing his fingers and toes he gets to go to his first bowl game this year. I had to wait til I was 24 before I got to go to mine!
 
And our last bit of excitement...
We started working on the sippy cup tonight! He did a good job with it! I had to tilt up the back end for him, but he did okay with drinking from it. I had to test it out first because I wasn't sure how hard he would have to suck to get it out. GROSS.
 
That's all folks! Mom is on her way BACK from the airport- cancelled flight thanks to Sandy! Hope all my followers in Sandy's path are staying safe!! :)
Don't be alarmed if you don't see anything but black. I laid the phone on the counter and recorded Chrsitopher's giggles.
 
Have a great week! See you on Wednesday with some Halloween pics!
