Christmas

I worked Christmas Eve, so I took a few naps before work.  I was feeling a bit sentimental and sad that I had to go to work for Julain's first Christmas.  Dan and I are very big into traditions or especially gift giving.  We didn't get Julian anything (everyone else has!) and we didn't have any plans.  When I got home on Christmas, I napped a couple of hours and then vegged the rest of the day.  I'm always brain dead the day after work.

I was feeling a bit down about not celebrating very much.  I did get a cute photo of Julian's new cheesy grin.  He smiles ear to ear, sticks his bottom jaw out, and squints his eyes.  I got a picture of it!

Today we are getting a blizzard, so we're stuck inside.  I think J is going to go crazy being couped up for the second day in a row! We'll have to hang out in the basement for a change of pace.

He's getting a top tooth now and seems miserable at times and I ran out of apples to place in the freezer.  He is proud of himself  for being able to pull himself up, stand for long periods, and walk with the walker or us holding him.  Despite the teeth, he is actually really happy.  He smiles all the time and sings/squeals throughout the day.

Well, off to enjoy this day and pray that he doesn't need surgery tomorrow.  We'll take your prayers for his surgery too.  It's in Indy, so we'll see if it's canceled due to the weather.

Oh, my Christmas present from Julian is he now says "mama" when he wants attention or to nurse.  Sometimes it's "ba ba" or "bo bo" which I get frustrated at Dan for encouraging.  I really don't want to be ba or bo.
