Wow! It has been so long since my last post! Before Christmas??? Goodness!!! I cannot believe it. Okay so here goes.....
On December 23rd, Joe and I took Jace to see Santa. We stood in line for a few hours while Jace slept. Then right before we got to the beginning of the line, we woke him up and got him ready. He wore a cute little snowman sweater and pants that Grandma Dana got for him. Jace really liked Santa. He didn't cry at all! Santa said he was honored to meet Jace and that he's been a very good boy. He said that he's a well behaved baby and truly a blessing. I told Santa I couldn't agree more! Jace really didn't smile for the picture with Santa, but he was holding on to his hand! LOL
On Christmas Eve we went to Machael and John's house for the annual Christmas Eve dinner. There was a ton of food. We did the dirty santa gift exchange in which I got a pan. I can't remember what Joe got. Jace got a hat.
On Christmas mornning Jace woke up at 5:30 for a bottle. We stayed up until Daddy got up at 6:00. We had our gift exchange & Jace played with toys from Santa. Then Jace & Daddy went back to sleep. I worked on getting some things ready for the Christmas brunch and then we all got ready to leave. We went to Joe's parents' house for Christmas Day. We had our gift exchange and brunch... well.... it was supposed to be a brunch, but ended up being a lot of work. We didn't eat until late afternoon by the time it was all ready to go.
New Years Eve we spent at home. Jace slept through the ball dropping but woke up shortly thereafter for a bottle. Joe and I watched the ball drop. It was a bittersweet thing for me as it usually always is. New Years is always a bittersweet time.
Jace started daycare on January 5th. He loves his school and his teachers. He is everyone's favorite! They all spoil him. He's the only boy in the infant room. The second week of being there, though, he got sick and contracted RSV. He was out of school for a quite a while with that. It's a viral respiratory infection, so he couldn't be around other babies.
Let's see what else.... oh yeah, he's actually "walking" in the walker, not jumping around. He makes it go all over the house. We've put him on rice cereal twice a day and he's also eatting sweet peas. He loves sweet peas!!!
The last time Jace was weighed (January 16th) he weighed just under 17 pounds.
He is still such a happy baby, full of life and smiles. What a blessing he is. I just love him to death!
Well, here are two video clips for your amusement.
