I think I have a new favorite holiday. I was pretty keen on Halloween and Thanksgiving, but Christmas might trump both of those. For starters, it seems like we ate all week long to celebrate Christmas (well, mom, dad, and everybody else ate all week long. I was on my normal eating schedule with the same old, same old milk at every feeding). Plus I got to play with ribbon and paper. Apparently I got some toys and clothes and other gifts, but I was definitely more interested in playing with the ribbon and trying to eat the paper. Unfortunately, mom kept taking the paper away from me every time I would rip it off the package and bring it towards my mouth.
The best part of Christmas though was all the people I got to see. Mom, dad and I went to Atlanta for the week where I got to meet Great Grandma Mieyko, Great Uncle Doug, Great Aunt Hally, Santa Claus and a polar bear. Grandpa Brian, Grandma Linda, Aunt Kali and Uncle Tom were also there. And then this week, Grandpa Jim, Grandma Barb, Uncle Keith, Aunt Maribel, Uncle Scott and Aunt Mollie are all coming over to celebrate Christmas since we didn’t get to see them on the actual day. And if that wasn’t enough, mom, dad, Jesse and I had our own little Christmas celebration today since we were once again all together (Jesse didn’t come to Atlanta with us – maybe he was naughty and that’s why or maybe it was because he didn’t fit in the suitcase – I’m not sure).
My first airplane ride was quite an experience. I was pretty cranky on the flight to Atlanta so mom had to feed me the whole time to keep me quiet. I just wanted others to know I didn’t like sitting in the very back of the plane. On the plane ride home, I was much better. Even though I had to wait 3 extra hours to get on the plane, I was in a good mood and didn’t have to eat the whole flight to be happy which I think mom appreciated. In fact, I was making friends with lots of people on the plane. Daddy called me a ladies man. Not quite sure what he meant by that but I think it had something to do with the smiles I was giving the ladies behind me.
So what else have I been up to? I’m rolling around a lot. I like to roll onto my sides, especially while on the changing table. I even did a 360 as mommy calls it – I started on my back, rolled onto my tummy, and then rolled back onto my back. I also giggled quite a bit for daddy one morning. In her rush to come see me giggle, Aunt Kali went splat on the floor. Hope my giggles were worth it! I also love sitting (with a little help) standing (with more help), and flying (with lots of help). My favorite toys of the week are measuring spoons, my teething book, and my vibrating elephant that hangs from my car seat.
I’m still not a fan of that white fluffy stuff. Especially when it’s almost over my head. It was nice to get away to Atlanta for a week and to be able to see the grass and go for outside walks with mommy again. But it sure is nice to be home with my doggy and sleep in my own crib and play on my play mat. It’s almost like having a bunch of new toys since I haven’t seen my own mat, jumper, or swing in nearly 10 days.
Well hope you all had a Merry Christmas too and found joy in the little things like ribbon and paper and the big things like family and faith.
Love,
Cameron
