We had such a fun trip to Costa Rica over New Years! One of Jimmy's friends from college invited us to join them at his parents condo in Los Suenos. The weather was beautiful, food delicious, and company fun! Lots of swimming, drinking, fishing, and eating...a perfect vacation!

Charlie Banks is ONE!
How did that happen?!? Our baby is ONE! It just doesn't seem possible. We didn't do any big party...simply because we were leaving for Costa Rica two days after Christmas so there really wasn't a good time. The day after Christmas we did have a few people over for some cake to celebrate. He wanted nothing to do with his smash cake that I made him! He did LOVE the attention though. He has started "walking" and is very proud of himself. He loves waving and saying hi. He loves to mimic the sounds we make or if we stick our tongue out etc. He still sleeps from 7-7 and takes 1-2 naps. He still has 6 teeth, but his behavior definitely indicates that more are on the way. He loves fruit, yogurt, and toast. We are still working on the veggies. I mash up some white beans and put in his yogurt to sneak in some veggies. He loves smoothies too, so I sneak in spinach and carrots there. He likes green beans as well. I am trying to do away with the pouches of food and stick to actual food from now on. We will offer him real milk for the first time later today after I make it to the store. He still doesn't care for his sippy cup much, but I think that will change once we start cutting back on the nursing. He still nurses 3 times a day. Once when he wakes up, after his first nap, and before bed. He plays by himself really well and will push anything around the house all day long. He weighs 21.3 pounds and is 29.5 inches long...which puts him in the 40th percentile for both height and weight. Happy first birthday to our precious Charlie Banks!

Christmas
The week before Christmas we celebrated with my dad. We had a nice time opening presents and then enjoyed brunch at Red Drum...our favorite!
Christmas Eve we had dinner at our house for about 20 people! This is the second year we have hosted both of our families. I enjoyed myself much more than last year...as I was about to give birth any second.
Christmas morning we cooked a big breakfast at home and opened presents...
Then headed to Jimmy's aunts house for the afternoon. We had a delicious meal and enjoyed the summer like temperatures on her dock. It was a perfect first Christmas for our sweet boy!
We will celebrate with my mom next week! I am excited because it drags the holiday out a little bit longer!
And finally our Christmas card for 2015...
December Craziness
With the craziness of Christmas, Charlie Banks’ first birthday, and a trip to Costa Rica we are happy to be back home and settling into everyday life again. We had a busy month of Christmas parties, cookie making, parade watching, doctor visiting, tree decorating, cheering on our tigers, lazy pajama days, etc. Here is a photo dump of our December leading up to Christmas…
