So it's been a few months since I've written again, I'm sorry to be so sporadic in my updates.. Winter is here, after an appreciated late start, so we've not been able to get out as much as I would like, but you don't seem to mind. Your first Christmas came and went, and was a lot of fun. You had a thoroughly good time unwrapping your presents and playing with the paper for several hours. Santa was good to you. Your favourite part of course was Christmas dinner at Grandma's house! You had your first turkey dinner, and loved every bite. You seem to be so ahead of your age when it comes to eating. I don't have to puree much any more, you chomp away on your two little bottom teeth and eat anything and every thing...thankfully those teeth haven't bitten momma yet while you're nursing *fingers crossed*
Lat weigh in, you were about 20 pounds...so big compared to the little monkey we brought home 8 months ago. You are crawling all over the house, and in the last couple days you have been trying really hard to pull yourself up on things. I have a feeling it's just a matter of days before you are furniture surfing!
It's a new year now, I was a little bit sad to say good bye to the year you were born...it makes you seem so much older now. My baby is quickly becoming a little boy! For New Years, you had a sleep over at our friend Kim's, and had fun playing with your friend Ryan while you were there. I love that you can cope away from us for a night, tho I think you cope better than I do! This year has so much ahead of us, so many firsts to come for you...first words, first steps, first trip to England...you have a lot of family over there who are looking forward to meeting you, and Mummy and I are looking forward to showing you off. It looks like it will be July when we get to take that trip, tho there is a chance you may go once before that on your own with mummy...I don't know how I feel about that though, I don't think I'm ready to be away from you for any length of time...it's hard just to leave you over night! I have a whole lot of pictures that I want to put in here, but for some reason my photobucket won't load them, so I will have to do another entry soon to show off your holiday pictures.
Your days now are so much more exciting, from crawling into corners and through every barricade I try to put in your way, playing with your new toys, eating three meals a day and adventuring all over the place, you are one busy little man. The best part of it all, is you are now a very happy, easy to please baby! There are still some temper issues, especially when we have to tell you no...or if I'm too slow with your food, lol, but all in all, you are happy most of the time. Still fighting your naps, and still not *quite* sleeping through the night...but much calmer and less frustrated now that you are crawling and can go where you want to go. It's so much fun to spend my days with you Jayden, you really are the light of my life. Your kisses slime my face, and melt my heart!!
Big hugs little man!
Momma loves you!!!
