Bear turned 16 months old, and Baby Belle celebrated her 3 month birthday.
We are currently in transition of removing Hudson's 'bopper' {aka, pacifier} as he's learned how to shove the entire thing in his mouth. Hello, scare my pants off. It is not going well. Any recommendations? He thinks it is a part of his anatomy, and I am not sad to see it go as it inhibits us from seeing those big teeth he's got sprouting and hearing the few words he's building in his baby vocabulary. For the record, he calls me 'mama' only in moments of need---but overall, I am referred to as 'gaga' by my baby boy. Yes, yes. Gaga.
I have a tendency to spoil my babies. There is no way I can help it. Their grandparents, too, seem to have the inability to help themselves either when it comes to these babes.
A few early Christmas presents have been opened, and Hudson got his very first Christmas cupcake from his Abuelos. We ended up with chocolate reindeer cupcake, in every room of the house. If there's such a thing as a cute mess, this was it.
These babies have parents, I know you don't see us much. We do exist, and we actually have 7 pictures together from all of 2010. More or less. Here are three of the seven. I'll let you guess which one is the most 'jr & nat'.
BINGO.
It's now Tuesday, the week of Christmas, and I have not one present wrapped. I have high hopes of accomplishing this maybe tonight. Maybe tomorrow? I'm kind of obsessed with trying new recipes lately, thus delaying my gift wrapping. Excuses, excuses. I know. Don't hate.
This ain't even it, y'all. There's still all of this week! My new curtains just came in, I'm still working on Belle's room---so stick around'ish, check in on us---so that I can continue sharing what the rest of 2010 bears for us.

I loved this post and your Christmas tree is TO DIE!
Bear and Belle are so stinkin cute!
Your posts are always too cute! Your kids are precious! The tree is beautiful! And not having one gift wrapped, crazy!!! I would be freakin' out. Merry Christmas!!!
I love the showing off the baby party idea! Too cute! And your tree is amazingly gorj.
about the pacifier...I have a friend who for a week talked about how the paci would be going bye bye. On the day they agreed on, they got a balloon, tied the paci to it and the little girl took it out to the front yard and watched it go away. They didn't have a problem at all after that b/c she saw it go.
This is Kyndal's friend :)
What we did with the paci is cut the end of it off. We would still give it to Brody but there was nothing to suck on. We said it broke and that we were so sad too but that there was nothing we could do about it. He would sleep with it in his hand. He was 2.
Paci: My Goddaughter had the ''paci fairy'' come to her house. And in exchange for a very awesome present...she had to give up her pacis to give to all the new little babies. Before nap, she put all her pacis in a bag, put them outside, and went to sleep. The paci fairy came, left her a new elmo doll with glitter sparkled all the way around. That night she asked about a paci...but she quickly remembered she had her new dolly and the new babies needed them. She was 2 at the time.
Another idea...if you're going to get rid of them, destroy them. Cut the nipples off, because you will be tempted to give them back but can't if the nipple is gone!
Good luck
Love all the new posts and the abundance of pictures!! The kids are adorable as always...and it is is precious how much belle favors big brother.
And nothing wrapped yet for me either :)
I swear this could have been a post written by me... with the exception of a cute little baby girl.
I have Clint's "I Hate Santa" picture posted up on my blog. He and Hudson are only a month or so apart I suppose, so the reaction was very similar!
We are trying to get rid of that binky by 18 months. He's lost all but two (or maybe I lost them...) and we figure we aren't buying more. When they're gone, they're gone and we'll all have to deal with it. Clint is down to only getting it for sleeping though, maybe that's the first step for Hudson? Good luck! Let me know if something works so I can try it!
Oh, goodness. So many adorable pictures!
One, thing... Miss T could fit her entire paci in her mouth at all of 2 months - lips closed around it and all. That's how massive her mouth is. It completely freaked me out at first but now I'm over it... bad mommy. She doesn't usually do it in her crib - just when she's playing.
