"You Are My Sunshine" Giveaway- Hollis wants your vote!

Hey all you Facebook users! I have a huge favor to ask! I entered Hollis into a photo contest to win a session with the same photographer that did his newborn pics. I LOVE HER!!! If you are on FB, please search for the FB page for Brittani Louise Photography and "LIKE" her page. Then go into the "You Are My Sunshine Giveaway" Album and click on the picture of Hollis (it's toward the bottom). After you click on his picture, click "LIKE" to give him a vote! I am trying very hard to catch up... he's got about 30 votes, but the front-runners are nearing 100 votes already! It would be so great to win the session, just in time for his first birthday!!!

Don't forget to click on his actual picture inside the album before giving him a "like"- clicking it for the album itself doesn't count.

THANKS! :) Voting ends at midnight March 8, so please log in and vote now! :)

SANTA!!!!!!!!

Hollis loved Santa! Well, for a while! After a couple minutes he either got scared by his "Ho Ho Ho" or realized that we were getting close to dinner time. He cried, but only at the very end. After we got some precious pictures. :) The best part, Craig got the whole thing on film. :)

Haley and Geoff's Wedding

My brother married his college sweetheart, Haley, on Nov. 6, 2010 at the beautiful Old Glory Ranch in Wimberley. Beautiful is a terrible understatement though. This place was breath-taking. I was overwhelmed with joy for days before and after the ceremony! Instead of staying in hotels in nearby San Marcos, we all stayed in the hills of Wimberley in houses that people rent out to vacationers. Craig, Hollis, and I stayed in a big house for the whole wedding party. My parents stayed in a different house with 3 of my uncles, 1 aunt, and 3 cousins. It was SO much fun! (Yes, there will be pictures soon... I promise!)

TEETH!

Hollis is finally getting his first TWO teeth! The bottom center teeth have officially broken through and are actually visible now (if I can get Hollis to let me pull his bottom lip out of the way long enough to take a peek.)

6 Months! Half a Lap Around the Sun

Hollis is 6 months old! Here are some of his latest experiences:

• Football games! He's been to two varsity and two freshmen games and loved it!


• Laughing! He laughs more and more each week. He really gets going if I make silly faces and noises.


• Runny Nose/Ear Infection (boo)- this just started the day he went in for his 6-month check-up (good timing since we were already at the doctor's office). He's on antibiotics and seems to be doing a little better today.


• More push-ups! He's been doing these more and more the last few weeks. He gets up in a full-body plank position.


• Halloween costume is here! I can't wait to get his picture in it.


• We are working on sitting up- but he doesn't do it on his own for more than a few seconds.


• And most important of all; CRAWLING! That's right! He's beginning to crawl. More of an Army crawl/scoot mixed with some rolling and push-ups. Video will be loaded soon!

Here are some new pictures. Enjoy!
