1, 2, 3...4!

About 2 weeks ago Bud counted to 3, then a few days later to 4! We read quite a few counting books, and a lot of books in general, to him and he is starting to memorize things in the books. He is also putting two words together more often like "light on."

Yesterday we went sledding at Don & Shirley's house. Bud really enjoyed watching everyone else slide down the hill and would say weeee, but after a few times of sliding down with us he had enough and just wanted to watch. It was very amusing to watch him walk around in his boots and huge snow pants, I definitly need to get a picture of that.

We went to Zach & Nicole's on Saturday and on the way over I asked Bud who lives with Colin and he answered, "toys."

We had a good time at Christmas with all of the family and even had Bud baptized while they were all around. Bud is enjoying his new toys and books, although we didn't get all of the toys and puzzles out yet so that he can get excited all over again when we get them out in a few months. It was such a busy time but fun. Bud enjoyed taking cousin Tig's dollhouse furniture while she was playing with it and never wanted to give it back. They got along really well, though and gave each other hugs.

Last weekend Bud spent the weekend with his grandparents and Aunt Kara so Mom & Dad could party for New Year's Eve! We stayed up later than when we were in college but woke up in time to watch the Hawks beat LSU!! We hadn't been away from Luke overnight since July and it was really strange in the house without him. But we're hoping his other set of grandparents can have him for a weekend sometime soon.

Bud has been saying ewww a lot and at appropriate times, it's so funny. He's also been very clingy and wants to held - I think mostly so he can see things out of his sight. But it is nice when he gives us hugs.
