Milo's 6 month stats

This cute little guy is 6 months old and I can't believe it! How does it go so fast?! Milo is very sweet and loves to laugh. He wants human food really bad, but when I try to feed him baby food he isnt too into it. His acid reflux is pretty well under control now. He loves to "talk" and sits up great. He is starting to army crawl on his tummy. He still doesnt have much hair, but we are hoping it will come in soon.

Milo's Stats are:

Length: 25.6 Inches (19%)

Weight: 14 lbs. 10 oz. (5%)

Head Circ: 41.5 cm (3%)

He continues to be our small little guy. Tony is the only one that can get Milo to sleep. He is my magic charm when it comes to bedtime. We sure do love this little guy!

Christmas Card 2011

I'm really sorry that this is the way most of you will be getting our Christmas Card this year. I'm an idiot and ordered way to few cards! Usually I have way to many, I don't know what I was thinking. I barely had enough to send to family, again I'm an idiot! I feel like I still have baby brain, so again I'm sorry and will do better next year. I have loved getting your holiday cards! Thank you for sending them and please keep me on your list. I'm hoping I won't be so dumb next year :) Love you all!!

Merry Christmas!

We are so thankful for the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and this wonderful time of year to celebrate his birth. We are so blessed to have the Gospel in our lives and to be surrounded by loving Family and Friends. May we all bless the lives of those that aren't as blessed as we are. 

Much Love, The Foscarini's

Tony, Christin, River & Milo

Ho Ho Ho...

 My Mom remembered that she had bought this outfit for Milo. She found it the other day so we had to put it on him. He was so cute! It was only a 3 month size, but Milo is pretty small so it fit him almost perfect. The hat was the only thing that was too small, which is weird because his head is supposedly super small?! Anyway, I thought he looked adorable as Santa :)

 Mi with his Grandma

 Mi & Mommy (Love him!)

 The other day River went missing at my Mom's house. I was looking all around for him, then heard him laughing...this is where I found him. It actually kind of grosses me out that he goes in the dog kennel and lies in his bed...yuck...but he loves it and I can't convince him to get out of it!

 River "helping" Grandma rake leaves. Riv LOVES working in the yard. He loves working with all the tools. He really does try to help too.

 It was particularly cold this day, so I used my scarf to try to warm Milo up.

He looked pretty silly, but it kept him from freezing. It made me think of the pioneers and how they must have tried to keep their babies warm, but then I had to stop thinking about it because it made me feel sick to my stomach from empathy. Man we are so blessed!

Charlie Brown Christmas

 We have visited Santa already this year. We go to the Gatehouse Santa. He is so sweet and there is never a line :) Milo, as you can see, was the only one that made it to Santa's lap. River was curled up on the floor in his "time out" position, refusing to go anywhere near Santa. He has never liked Santa, so I figured that was how it would be. Doesn't Milo look cute though :) Milo asked for some more milk for Christmas ;) Milo has actually been really interested in food lately. If Tony or I are eating around him he will lung for the food!! I have tried to give him baby food a couple times, but he is never interested in baby food. He wants the real thing or nothing. Hopefully that means I will finally have a good eater (fingers crossed).

 I really wasn't feeling like putting up our big tree this year, so instead we have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. We even have Linus' blue blanket wrapped around the base. Tate gave us this sweet book and stuffed Charlie Brown last year for Christmas. We have already read it to the boys and plan on reading it many more times this year, it really is so sweet.

 I made this cute little nativity scene at a Super Saturday event in my ward. I thought it turned out pretty cute and hope it will be something my kids will like.

Charlie Brown Christmas' are the best kind! :)

Is that Justin Beiber?!

 River was channeling Justin Beiber when he tried on his Daddy's shoes. I have to admit I know pretty much nothing about Justin Beiber, but I kind of want his Christmas Album! Is it good? Or am I totally lame to even want it?!

 Boo!

 Miley is always so smiley :)

Thanksgiving 2011

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving as always. I made sweet potato crunch, pecan pie, and green bean casserole this year. Sweet potato crunch is a family recipe and a family favorite. The pecan pie and green bean casserole were recipes I found on the pioneer woman blog. They were both really good, but I learned that I don't like pecan pie. Way to sugary for me, but everyone else seemed to really like it. We watched the Macy's parade in the morning with the kiddos. River really enjoyed the parade this year. He loved the Buzz Lightyear Balloon of course! We then headed over to my parents house for Thanksgiving lunch. It was delicious as always. We then played some card games as a family and had Tate's roommate, Alex, as a guest.

Then some of us went to see the Muppet Movie. It was pretty cute. Overall it was a great day. I feel like I have so much to be thankful for! 

I'm thankful for:

The Gospel in my life

Wonderful Family

Beautiful, Healthy Children

Hard working Husband

Beautiful Home

I have never known hunger

Etc.

There is an endless list of things I am thankful for, I could go on and on. I just hope that I will always remember to be charitable with all that I have.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Baby it's cold outside

 Now that it has cooled down quite a bit we have been spending a lot more time in doors.

 Milo is sitting up so well now. It has made it easier for him and River to interact a little bit more, which is so fun to watch!

 I think it is crazy how much Milo looks like River did when he was a baby, but one thing they definitely don't have in common is their eye color! Riv is DARK Brown, and Milo is Baby BLUE!

 They love to play on each others beds. This was right after bath time, just hanging out in their diapers playing with toys. Love them!

 I just loved how wild Milo's face looked in this pic! haha!

 River was on a mission, as he almost always is, to get all of Milo's toys stuffed into a plastic container. Milo just loves "playing" with his brother.

 My little blue eyed cutie

 River going in for the kiss...

 ...Milo never knows what to think when River kisses him, but he loves the attention.

River is the sweetest big brother to Milo. He loves kissing and hugging him. I can't wait until they can actually play together. I'm sure they will be best buds. Man, I love these boys so much!
