Owen's First Christmas
We had a wonderful first Christmas with Owen! It went by so fast and but we loved every minute. Both of our families came to VA and it was so great to be able to wake up and have Christmas at our house. O decided to sleep late on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning so we didn't get started until close to 9am. O is a morning boy, so random that he slept late. Must have been from all the excitement.
Grandaddy made his famous stuffed french toast for breakfast and it was sooo yummy! O had his favorite, pears and oatmeal :) We opened gifts and opened gifts until well after lunch. Everyone said they were going to go light for O since it was his first Christmas and he was really too little to play with much...YEAH RIGHT! O's pile of gifts tripled ours. We enjoyed playing with all the toys and the paper...that's right, O's favorite thing about the gifts was the paper and ribbon :)
O got so many toys to help him with his sitting and scooting and by the end of Christmas day he was already sitting unassisted for 10-15mins without falling over. Now, a week later he sits by himself and does great until he leans back. He hasn't quite realized that there's not always something behind him :) It's ok, usually he catches himself and ends up leaning to one side where he can get himself back to sitting position.
Here are a few pictures of O on Christmas Day. And yes, the family picture we are wearing our famous tacky Christmas sweaters...ha! We started our annual Tacky Christmas Party last year but decided to skip it this year b/c O is so little and it would be a lot getting prepared with a very busy 5 month old. So to be funny, we decided to wear them on Christmas Day. Our parents laughed and laughed :)
Merry Christmas All!
