Celebration of Lights Walk Through

We went to the walk thru night to see the Christmas lights at the park. It had to be the worst night for it but they only have one night where you can walk it. So...into the freezing wind and rain we went! It was miserable but we made the best of it and hope to keep it an annual tradition. Bradley took Adam last year but I missed it b/c I had class so this year I was excited. I meant to bring the sling for Ellie but we forgot it but she did really well sitting up in the wagon, propped up with lots of blankets of course! Adam had a blast and didn't seem to mind the weather. He did say he was cold once but that was it. He just grinned and laughed the entire time. Along with the lights they had a real reindeer and Santa and Mrs. Claus were there. Adam wouldn't go near Santa, just looked from afar, but he sure checked out the reindeer.

First Vomit Incidence

Adam has puked before but nothing this gross.

We were driving back Saturday to my sister's and from the minute we put him in the car Adam was complaining that it was too hot. He's been doing this for the last month or so but I just usually ignored him b/c it would be 30 degrees outside and he would say he was hot. After him crying and complaining for an hour he puked all over himself and his carseat! It was the most disgusting thing, mostly because it was pears and sour milk. So we had to stop at a gas station, change his clothes in the freezing cold wind, then spend a half hour taking his car seat apart and cleaning it in the gas station bathroom. It was not pleasant! Then we had to drive the rest of the way with his window down and the smell of vomit in the car.

We thought at first maybe he was car sick. But later that night I felt a little sick but got better after I ate. Then Sunday Bradley and I both felt sick off and on but never puked. Bradley even came home from work yesterday b/c he felt nauseous. So maybe we just have a little bug or something. I think Adam is finally better. Today was the first day this week he didn't complain about his belly hurting.

Adam and Ellie Hanging Out

Some random pictures of Adam. One is of his "magic wand" he begged for in WalMart yesterday. One is just is cute naked bottom and his cute smile. And the other one...Bradley pointed out his soccer ornament on the tree and Adam ran and got his soccer ball, then ran and got the camera, brought it back to Bradley and asked him to take a picture.

More PAT Holiday Event

PAT Holiday Event

This was the PAT event we go to every year to see Santa. Adam is still scared of Santa, as you can see! Ellie didn't mind one bit. Adam got to do some crafts, pretend to make Christmas cookies, decorate a giant gingerbread man, and many more fun activities.

Peas Are Yummy!

Ellie likes peas! Yeah! I was worried about the green veggies so decided to try peas which Bradley and Adam both hate. But Ellie didn't make a face or anything. Just kept opening her mouth for more. What a good girl!

The Mouth

Ellie can now get things into her mouth as of yesterday. That's helpful for her since she's teething but unfortunately we've got to get Adam to learn to keep his toys away from her. Today she had one of his cars, a little hot wheels one, and had the tiny wheels in her mouth. That's a no-no now I guess. I didn't realize she was actually putting things in her mouth intentionally until that moment. Pretty soon she'll have her pincer grasp and be feeding herself food! They sure grow up fast.
