Rub a Dub

Two Nakey's in the tub!

I thought it would be a g-reattt idea to put the boys in the bath together last week while home at my parents house! Xavier just wanted to check out the faucet most of the time and CW was flapping around like a fish most of the time. At the end of the bath I was worn out!

Playing nicely!

CW loves to go downstairs at my parents house and play on the pool table with the pool balls. Xavier likes it too but so far he can't sneakily try to get down the stairs. I caught CW trying to move the play-yard out of the way of the gate and go down. Notice CW's hair accessory! Whenever he goes to Gigi and Opa's he always finds this old head-band of mine in my room and wants to wear it!

And notice the shoes. This pic he has my running shoes on but he gave a valiant effort to try to put on my really tall rain boots. My boots however, are too tall and hit jimmy-pee-pee so he was done with my boots, for that day anyway.

On Thanksgiving we were trying to take a picture of my Grandparents with their Great-Grandchildren. The experience was a text book you-tube video of trying to get 6 kids from 10 weeks to 5 years old to all at least look at the camera! Xavier is smiling. Jayden isn't happy. Mikylah looks mad, Charlie is looking at Chloe who is crying and Caden doesn't want to be in the picture! But G & P are smiling away!!

I think I took about 20 pictures and we did actually get some of them all looking in the same direction. Miss Chloe was getting hungry though!

Grandi and Xavier at Grandi's Thanksgiving.

Xavier is sizing up cousin Graham. New this year to the Knott/McDonald family Thanksgiving, were little kids! They were definitely the hit of the holiday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!
Xavier is taking more and more steps. Last week he did 12 for a couple days, then 13. I don't think he will actually be "walking" yet for at least another week, maybe even two, but he is trying!
We started our "sleep-training" on Friday night. After 40 minutes of crying he went to sleep. Last night I dropped the ball and let him eat to long and he got way to sleepy and pretty much went right to sleep in the crib. Tonight, he was out in 4 minutes. I am not going to get ahead of myself though, we still have a ways to go before the Knott house gets a wake-free night of sleep!
We put up the Christmas tree today! And believe it or not......for the second year in a row I got all my white lights on and was about to plug them in when I realized I put them on backwards, again. Ugh, I was so mad! For the second stringing, Jake decided to give in and help me out. When we got finished and turned them on, the middle strand didn't work. Ugh, again, since I specifically plugged all 3 strands in to see if they worked! So I took off the middle strand and plugged it in and went light by light to check the bulbs. Xavier did something and Jake dropped his end and Ta-Da, the lights all came back on! So back on the tree they went, they are still on as we speak, along with the color lights I then put on afterwards. The correct way. When Xavier got up from his nap he was interested in the tree and the lights. He also wanted to open a freshly wrapped package for Caden. We will see how many people's presents have little finger holes or tears in them this year!
Okay well its 9:30 and this mama is ready for bed!
