11 Months

11 Months

Can it be true that my baby boy is almost a year? Time to start planning a little celebration! 

Kruz, 

You are truly wonderful. 

Your brothers LOVE your silly noises, your shouts, when you say "bubba", when you stand on your own, your waving, and the CRAZY way that you eat! You really, really love food:) Your Daddy loves it when you say "DaDa".Your Mommy loves it when you smile and when you lay your head against her chest. Your crawl is all your own... you never let your right knee touch the ground. I'm not sure why but it's oh-so very cute.

We are treasuring every tiny moment with you.

Photo Shoot

Best Friend and Photographer, Jodi Mockabee took these beautiful photos of little Kruz.

What can I say... they are priceless:) Check out her blog or Facebook page for more photos and pricing.

Thanks Friend!!

I think these two are my favorites

Beautiful, healthy 9 month old baby boy... We LOVE you!

8 Months... Already?

Kruz Asher Bankston

Our boy is 8 months old already! He is so wonderful I wish I could keep him this age forever. 

Still sweet and perfect. He's crawling and getting curious and LOVES to eat. We decided to skip pureed food and went straight for the real stuff:) He is healthy and very, very happy.

Kruz, you keep the whole family smiling.

You are the most amazing blessing and so much more than we could have every imagined.

C'mon Mom!

While baby boy was sleeping, I had to snap a few shots... he is soooo cute!!

While I was admiring his handsomeness, he woke up and gave me this look like "c'mon mom!".

Baker Creek Catalog

Just got my 2010 Baker Creek catalog in today!

Wow!! I was sooo impressed and couldn't believe how cool it was.  It was a pleasant surprise for sure. For anyone who is thinking of starting a garden or is already a gardener, you HAVE to check them out. I would really love to visit their store in Petaluma. Hmmm... may have to plan a trip to visit my good friend and do a little shopping:)

Kruzee... are you tired Son?

How cute is he? Mama's handsome guy:)

Mama's Love

My Love went on a listing appointment with me today and was a perfect angel!

Thank you Kruzee for being a good little helper today.

Center of Attention

Baby was center of attention today with his "Ya Ya" and Papa. 

Sweet kisses and hugs had to be caught on camera.

Kruzee, you bring us joy! Your smile is so contagious. You are six months old now and growing very quickly. I'm not sure how much you weigh but your a big, healthy boy:) You've started to scoot and I'm pretty sure that you are teething. We can't get enough of you and love you more than words can say!

Pure Love

The goal here was to capture his chubbiness and I'm pretty sure I got it:)

I cannot believe that he is 5 months old- it's crazy!! 

He is still such sunshine in our family. Pure love. Pure joy. 

I am so very, very grateful to my God for his abundant blessings. The last five months have been amazing with Kruz apart of our family. 

Adoring Their Baby

Silly Faces For Fun!

We LOVE YOU little Kruzee!!!

Loving Life

Baby Boy is getting sooo fun! He loves to laugh!

Above: Just relaxing... I can't believe his sweet spirit. He was just hanging out!

Below:This one cracks me up...looks like he's punching. Kuper teaches him boxing moves, so I guess he's learning. 

And for a little goodness in the kitchen, I am making another round of gingerale.

When making gingerale you need whey. After your yogurt "drains", let it sit and waa laa! You have cream cheese that is so, so delicious:)

Our Little Man

Handsome Like His Daddy

Our little man is working on rolling over and making silly noises:)

Baby Smiles

I didn't get a whole lot of baby talk out of the boy for this video but I did get a few smiles. I seem to catch him after he's all smiled out. His giggles and smiles are nonstop and I hope to truly capture his happiness very soon.

Precious Laughter

My Mom and Dad took the big boys for a few hours today which left me and Kruzee with some special time together. I just can't help but want to capture his crazy hair, beautiful smile and sweet spirit. He laughs now too! He really laughed for the first time yesterday and again this afternoon. It's moments like that you don't ever want to forget.

Beanie Boy

Gotta love my boy in this beanie.

It was a special gift from Cathy, my bible study friend who just adores baby boy:)

Thanks Cathy!

Mr. Cheeks

Just look at those cheeks!

He looks more like his Daddy everyday- I love it.

Two Months Already!

Loving every minute of you, Son. You are perfect.

You are a joy to our family, ALL the time.

Kuper calls you "Tiny".

You've started smiling and it's sweet enough to melt hearts.
