Dean's First Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Dean had a great day...Christmas Eve was spent with his cousin's Jordan and Tyler-he did pretty good. Although he decided to forgo the nap, he made it through the day and finally fell asleep around 5 for a few hours, then of course he was up until 11:30pm. Christmas day he was Dedicated to the Lord by his Top Pop and then made his way back over the Grapevine home. Luckily there was no snow on our way. The three of us had a relaxing Christmas night at home.

Thank you for all of the amazing clothes and presents! We love them. Dean had the best time with the tissue paper. He could really care less about what was inside the box, as long as there was tissue paper he was happy.

He had his 9month (can you believe it) check up a last week and was 21lbs and 30inches. He is getting so big. Dr. said he is in great health and not to worry about a thing! He is on track with his milestones-even ahead on some. He is almost ready to walk, standing on his own and taking one step then falling. It is too funny. He gets so excited when he stands. Still not teeth, but the process is horrible. Teething tablets work wonders-he gets 5-6 at night to help him (and us) sleep. We are still co-sleeping which is good and bad. Great when it is time to nurse him, horrible when he decides he wants to turn around and kicks the heck out of you!

We wish you a Happy and Safe New Year and hope that everyone's Dam Corner comes in soon!
