I’m a little late on the Christmas recap/tree decorating pictures but hey, what are you going to do?
Duncan wasn’t quite sure what to make of the Christmas tree.
Truth be told, when we brought it in he started crying.
Christmas trees are scary! Especially when your mom is laying on the ground underneath the tree to get the thing in the stand!
Our little soldier warmed up to it quite fast though. I took him over to it so that he could touch it and see that it wasn’t a boogeyman!
Decorating it was, eh. He didn’t quite know what to make of it. He liked touching the ornaments though.
I didn’t get very many pictures of the present opening because I was too busy enjoying the moment.
That’s the good thing about holidays though, you get wrapped up in the moment of just being. Then later you get mad at yourself that you didn’t take enough pictures to remember the moment.
Here’s a few of Duncan and Daddy opening some presents though!
Like what the cats have done to the couch?
Christmas was a blast. Duncan made out like a bandit and I loved his first Christmas.
I’m sitting here in bed, watching Family Guy and thinking about the number of days that there are left until Christmas. There are six days left. Six. This month has gone too fast and I have gotten nothing done.
I’m excited for Duncans first Christmas and quite hopeful that next year will be even better. There was so much that I wanted to do/buy that I just didn’t get to or have enough money for.
I will probably be doing a Christmas in January. It’s being with family that really matters anyway, right?
It’s amazing. This year I was going to go with the same resolution that I had last year: nothing. However, I have actually decided that I will be making a resolution this year.
What is it? I will be taking a photo a day. That is at least 365 photos for the year. Then I at the end of the year I am going to treat myself to a photo book of all (or most) of the photos that I take.
I figure I will budget about $100 for it. I saw on another website they got their photo book from a site called Blurb. They print the books with a hardcover if that’s what you want and they look like really great quality!
So, I will be attaching the photos to a separate website which I am still working on. I’m quite excited.
Of course, the photos will more than likely be all of Duncan.
It’s crazy. We expected it any day now and it popped up! Saturday while in the car going to Hardee’s I noticed that Duncan had finally got his first tooth poking threw his gums!
My little guy will not have a total gummy smile now. He will be a boy with a tooth! Right now it is barely poking through but it is quite enough to see that it is definitely there.
While nursing him, I have yet to feel it. That just means that 1-it isn’t in enough to make an impact and 2-he doesn’t know the “fun” stuff it can accomplish.
Oh, I can wait for that time, for sure.
Well, I have been pretty busy with other matters lately. In fact, December came in with quite the suckage.
About a week ago, Duncan started feeling pretty poorly. He was stuffed up, whiny, vomiting constantly, the works! His doctor’s office is closed on Saturday and Sunday and we didn’t think it was an emergency (although we almost went to the ER, we sat out front of it debating if we should go in on Sunday after he threw up in Walmart – had to get him more medicine).
Jamie called up his doctor first thing on Monday and got him in really quickly. Turns out, the poor kid had strep throat! Due to all his vomiting they gave him a shot in his little butt for the antibiotics. Poor baby! However, that night he started feeling a bit better. He was smiling again. The next day he was about 75% back to himself and then on Wednesday he was totally himself.
Now, he just has a runny nose (teething), cough, and mucus in his throat. However, for those five days he was sick I sat in bed with him and held him. That was the only way he’d go to sleep.
So, his first time getting sick he had to go big and get strep throat and that’s of course, on top of teething! During this time, I managed to spill hot chocolate on my keyboard while trying to kill a bee. This morning I spilled orange juice on the coffee table and it got on my phone. THEN while pouring more juice into my cup I found it had a split from dropping. So I poured it into a new cup which of course it went all over the floor.
Can I go back to sleep for the rest of December? Thanks!
Wake me when it’s 2011!
Night!
