Dec. 18: It’s been so fun to have a baby this December. It’s really gotten me in the Christmas 
spirit. Andrew is doing all sorts of fun things these days…starting to sit up (and tip over), smiling, sometimes giggling, reaching for things he wants, eating paper, all sorts of good times.
On Dec. 17, we gave him his first solid food (his first sold non-food was a chunk of a map at Mayo clinic). He was really intrigued by his rice cereal, and although it was all over his hands and face and chin and bib by the time we were done, I think some went down his throat as well. He was reaching for the spoon and crossing his eyes as the spoon came close to his face. Such a cute kid!
We got a Christmas tree and took pictures of the search and the decorating. Andrew loves coming out to the living room in the morning when the tree is all lit up. It’s so sweet to watch him reach for it and turn his head to look at it when we move. Photos of the tree and Andrew and a party with friends are in our gallery. We’ve had so much snow this December. it’s been really lovely. Pictures of Andrew eating, being outside with Dad, and doing all sorts of other baby things are in the gallery.
We are doing a fondue Christmas get-together at our place with my family tonight. Then on Friday we head to Texas for a week.
We’re so looking forward to it!
Merry Christmas!
