Merry Christmas Ya'll...hope everyone had a terrific holiday, just wanted to share our holiday photo's taken by Meredith Terrell of MPrint Photography.

Santa Claus 2010

We took Sonny to the Gaylord for the Charlie Brown Breakfast and of course to see Santa Claus. He didn't want to sit in Santa's lap by himself so Michael and I quickly jumped in the picture to make him feel more comfortable. He was fine after we sat down, but there was no way he was gonna sit without Team Shahan.

Sonny Walking around the house

Sonny Driving the Bobcat

We took Sonny to the State Fair and what did we find? a whole set-up of yellow bobcats and tractors. He had so much fun driving and checking out all the tires...I think daddy had fun too. When we put him up in the cab, he knew exactly what to do...grab that steering wheel and shift those gears. Daddy will put you to work as soon as he can, but until then you are momma's little baby boy:)

Sonny in the Country

We had a fun weekend at Paw and Tracey's house in the country. We had a great road trip and lots of fun playing with the hay bales, climbing the fences, swimming and taking pictures on my saddle from when I was a kid. Oh, and I forgot the trip to Brenham to the Blue Bell Ice Creamery, where we tasted lots of delicious Blue Bell flavors. Maybe next time we can ride a pony....until then I am lovin my little cowboy Sonny:)

Catching Up on Summer

We have had such a fun and busy summer that I am a little behind in uploading some of these pic's. Starting off July with a fun filled weekend at the lake house for the 4th of July festivities. Then we headed to Austin for Atticus's 3rd bday and our first time to meet Paisley May! Sonny had so much fun with his cousins, he loved pulling Bubba's beard and playing at GiGi's house. And one last pic of him with Uncle Kole:) We will be sad for summer to end, but glad that the heat will be behind us. We are looking forward to fall!

SPI Beach Vacation

We went on our annual trip to South Padre Island, and stayed in an awesome house right on the beach. Sonny had lots of fun hanging with his cousins and playing on the beach. He loved the sand, water, and the waves. I love my little beach baby.

Sonny 9 Month's Pictures

We had a few pictures taken at Arbor Hill's Nature Preserve, and it was, well lets just say...not the perfect conditions for taking pictures. Very muddy and we were covered in sticker burrs. I can't believe that she got these because I thought for sure it was a disaster...July is so HOT!!! We are re-shooting in a few weeks at the Cotton Mill in McKinney so I will have more coming soon...stay tuned:)

My Future is so bright, I gotta wear shades

Just a Sunday afternoon chillaxin in my new red adirondack chair at Mimi and Poppa Joe's lake house.

Conquering the Step

Sonny's favorite thing to do is climb the step in our living room, over and over again. He just can't get enough...up and down, up and down again. He has defiantly conquered the step!!! He is very determined, its gotta be just right. Mommy is so proud of my little puddin!!!

Yoga Pose

Sonny is really getting into his new found way of moving around, he is crawling, climbing, and trying to stand up and pull himself out of his crib. Michael got a few pic's of him trying to stand and play with his toys at the same time. He's all about multi-tasking. He has to play at all times...his rules!!! He is a very busy little boy, always looking for the next thing to do. We are having a great start to the summer and are enjoying every minute of it!

Paparazzi...Please

Here are a few pic's of Sonny I took when he was 7 months, he's almost 8 months now so I am a little late in posting but I had to put this up because I love the look on his face. It's almost like he knows he's being photographed. I'll post some more of his signature pose that we think is hilarious. I am trying to come up with a name for it like in the movie "Zoolander"...its not quite the Blue Steel, but it is definitely worthy of a name...

Swimmer's Sleep

Sonny started swim lessons this week, so he has been very tired in the evenings. The other night we were in the kitchen having a snack after the dip in the pool, dinner, bath time, and PJ's...he was sitting in his high chair watching his DVD player and eating his puffs and a teething biscuit. I walked outside on the patio to water a plant and came back inside and he was fast asleep. He was out like a light...the flash of the camera usually wakes him up, but I probably took about 15 pictures and even called across the house, "Daddy come look"! And he never woke up. I picked him up, removed the rest of the biscuit out of his mouth and put him nite nite. Those of you who know him well, know that he's not a great sleeper, so you can see why I was so surprised....looks like we'll be swimming every day this summer:)

Cinco de Mayo

Well, I guess you could say that Sonny is a ladies man!!! Michael, my brother and I took him out to eat for Cinco de Mayo and he was a hit. We sat out on the patio so we could be sure and have lots of room to play and you know to set up camp...haha! Women were coming over from all over the restaurant to say hi and talk to him...and a couple of ladies even asked to hold him while we ate our dinner. Maybe it was this cute little face and smile that they couldn't resist....or his festive shirt! We had a great night with lots of laughs...
