Christian's First Christmas!

As expected, Christian was spoiled rotten this Christmas. Mostly by the Grandmas, which should not be surprising to anyone.

We spent Christmas Eve with Richard's family in Elk River, MN. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures. Christian received two HUGE presents. One was a sandbox/pool and picnic table combo. And the other was a big plastic work truck that looks very similar to Richard's truck. Both are awesome presents Christian will enjoy in the summer. He loved all of Grandma's fancy bows.

The bow is bigger than his head!

Christmas Day we headed to Green Bay to have Christmas with my family. Kim, Denny, Antonio, and Jack drove to Green Bay on Friday. Christian wasn't very interested in opening presents. He liked the bows and anything small enough for him to hold. Four year old Antonio helped Christian open all his presents and 23 month old Jack helped play with them. It was very cute. I didn't get any pictures of Jack! He is the cutest thing. Everything is exciting to him and he has the sweetest laugh. Antonio is so big now. He is very silly and likes to make up words.

Christian opened lots of toys and clothes, a huge box filled with food, bowls, and spoons, and his first Packers sweatshirt!

Amy was in Green Bay from New Orleans. She came over to visit. Christian instantly liked her. I'm hoping he can convince her to move closer. =)

A Curious Christian

Christian can sit up by himself for a few minutes before falling over. He loves to sit and play with his toys. He loves touch everything. He helps me carry things around the house: a DVD from the closet to the TV, the remote control, my granola bar from the pantry to the counter, etc. He just loves to hold on to anything.

He eats rice cereal at least once a day. And he loves it. He gets so angry when it is gone. He cries for a few minutes until he his attention is drawn else where.

Santa!
