The Next Day

How quickly the gifts fade with family and the divine remaining. Okay, that's my profound thought for the week.

Let me tell those who don't know that Christmas Day after a restless night of child caring is hard to get excited about. However, we pulled up our pants, adjusted our skirts, poured some coffee and coddled Holden to get him to stop crying just long enough to open a few presents. Holden received many books and a BOB Ironman stroller for high speed walks pictured below which is compatible with the Chico car seat. FYI they don't come out of the box running true so Daddy is making adjustments....Dad got an IPad though! I know I know "just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in". I had switched to Android technology but the pad is pretty sweet. The reason I bring it up is anyone wishing to have "face time" with Holden need merely call my Ipad (email address). I need to re-activate the Skype as well.

First Shorts.

 Is it bad if your mother in law gets you cleaning items for Christmas? Well when life hands you tacky dusting wear.....

No shame

Holden can change the color of his poo to green at will and still demands 2hr 30min feeding patterns. He is growing large at a rapid pace and his eye color is still up in the air. Holden had some guests over yesterday and slept through the entire event. He does most of his sleeping in the late afternoon so he can recover from late night party sessions with Mommy. He is at his worst just prior to major bodily functions but calms down soon after.

My observant wife pointed out a couple of errors on my part in earlier blogs. Please forgive my spelling errors and what I meant to say was we temporarily switched to RE-usable diapers but find they leak a little easier and they don't pull moisture away like the disposables. He wore three today though so we are doing a bit of both.
