Merry Christmas!

So it's the holiday season! Yeah! It's that favorite time of the year that seems to have all in a tizzy, but a fun one hopefully! For us this year it's just the beginning of many more happy and exciting Christmases to come! Our little boy is 17mos old now. He's big and crazy! He does funny little things, is starting to talk more and is definitely understanding all that is going around him w/ much more comprehension than before! It's been an amazing transition for us!

We had our little family Christmas here before we hit the grandparents' this weekend into Christmas day. He did surprisingly well w/ opening his gifts. He got very excited to see what was inside. Didn't really understand that each thing was unique, but instead he wanted to move onto the next present he could unwrap! Some toys caught his eye and we got a "wow" out of him, but mostly he just slowly and daintily ripped the paper off and looked at each item.

We tried Santa. And failed. Failed 3 times actually. So just like baseball, 3 strikes and you're out! We won't try again til next year. But nonetheless he dressed up like Santa (yes, I bought the suit- he's only little once!) and smiled for pictures by the tree, so that in its own right counts!

But for now, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We cheer to another wonderful year filled w/ days to see our little boy grow!
