Where did December go??

It seems like it was just Thanksgiving and now we are preparing for our first Christmas as a family!  I cannot believe how quickly December has flown by! 

Early December was exciting this month as Jake got his first haircut on the 2nd.  He did amazing and let Ms. Marybeth trim his hair up.  I just loved seeing him get all fixed up but then he looked even more grown up than he already was!!




The rest of the month has flown by ever since.  We visited with John and Cathy when they came into town with their church one Saturday.  The rest of the month was have been busily decorating for Christmas, shopping for presents, preparing to see family, and trying to relax some. 

Last weekend we went to go visit with Santa at the Enchanted Forrest and he loved it! Santa rocks!












It seems like every few weeks we have a cold or some type of sickness in our household though.  As soon as one of us gets over it some one else picks it up and it is a never ending process!  Jake went in for his 6 month checkup on Tuesday and we found out that he has an ear infection.  Once we realized that, things started to make more sense though.  He is almost always a very happy boy but sometimes he just starts screaming and the only thing that seems to sooth him is tylenol and nursing.  I just hate seeng him that way.  He is on antibiotics now so hopfully it helps!  Other than the ear infection Jake seems to be doing great!  He is 18lbs 13oz (75%) and 27 1/2 inches (80%) and very happy!

Tonight we are in Lewisburg and getting ready to go to the candlelight vigil at church then we'll head back to make waffle cookies and wrap presents!  YAY!  Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
