I also thought I would share a few of Colten's latest comments, as they are quite humorous and worth sharing. The other day I started to get onto him about who knows what at the time, probably talking back or being a little too rough with Cambry, the list could go on. In his sweet 3 year old voice he informed me...

"Mommy...why don't you just worry about yourself, and let me worry about Colten." Oh, brother, I had no response to that one.

After a busy morning running errands and getting things together for his Christmas party Friday, we had returned home and he looked at me and said...

"Mommy, come sit with me on the couch and let's talk about something." Ok Colten, what do you want to talk about? "Just something, you need to sit and relax mommy." Wow, is it that obvious, do I look and act that stressed? So funny...

In other news, Cambry has decided to take a sippy cup with no problems...hallelujah!!! This is wonderful for us, now we are not totally dependent on the medicine dropper. She enjoys holding it and trying to drink it all by herself. She is very independent it seems for a 6 month old!!! She also is sitting very very well unsupported, for up to 20 minutes at a time. She absolutely loves doing it!!!

Well, my next post may not be until after the holidays I suppose...so, a very merry Christmas to all of you and yours!!!
