Wow its been a long time since I've made a post!  I apologize for falling so far behind!  Its been an exciting last couple of months.  Here are just a few pictures to catch everybody up on the Hamiltons.  :)

 This is Banks and his friend Rowen.  As you can see, Banks is very fond of Ro.  He's trying to convince her to hold his hand.  

Banks Happy.

Banks Mad.  
He's saying 'NO MOMMA!  I dont want to nap!'

Banks with Grandpa Maruji in Washington at Christmas.  Banks LOVED visiting his grandpa!

 This picture and the next need a little explanation.  
When you come to small Colville, there aren't a lot of places to go.  The main attraction is Wal-Mart.  Jeff and Danny were ecstatic to discover these 'treasures' in the womens sections.  They just could not pass up these awesome Holiday Vests and Turtle necks.  They really did make a purchase so they could be ready for the ugly sweater parties next year!


 Banks LOVES his Grandma Maruji!  (Us visiting Washington at Christmas)


Christmas Morning.  (Banks actually slept through his first Christmas ha ha)

 Danny and Jeff rockin' their Wal-Mart purchases Christmas morning!

Grandpa Maruji bought Banks two new beanies.  Pretty cute huh?

Getting ready to hit the slopes.  
Jeff and I got to go skiing one day together (with Dad, John, Michael, Danny, Ryan & Kayli) at 49 Degrees North.  Jeff and I rarely get to go together.  Good times!
 Banks & I with Jana & Caden.  Banks is lucky to have a cousin 3 months older than him.  Aunt Jana is very generous and kind to pass along all of Caden's clothes.  Thanks Caden.  
We had such a fun time with Jana's Family at Christmas.  Man, how her kids have gotten so big!  Its been over a year since I've seen them.  (Which is the longest amount of time I think its ever been)  Jana's kids are at that age where even not seeing them for a few months they grow a ton.  Beautiful Family Jana!

Jeff came and picked up Banks from the Salon.  It has been extremely cold in Utah hence the hats and big coats.  Bank's is in the Baby Bjorin (my new Christmas present, thanks mom and dad!) inside daddy's coat.

 Banks with Grandma Minnie at Japanese New Years!

Our sweet little Banks.  He is just our pride and joy.  Jeff and I feels so blessed to be his parents.  Oh how we love our lil Banks!

Banks will be 7 months in just a few days.  Wow how the time flies!  Some of the things Banks is up to now:

-Got his first tooth!  (Second one is just breaking through too)
-Eating rice cereal 
-Rolling both ways 
-Sleeping 11 hours at night (pretty consistently)
-Shaking his head lots
-Gets very distracted when he's supposed to be nursing :)
