A Few Last Christmas Pics

Every year we try to squeeze everyone in for a giant family photo at my cousin's house for our annual Christmas Eve party. Getting everyone to look at the camera is nearly impossible of course. This isn't even everyone! Unfortunately not everyone was able to make it this year.

Bad Mommy Blogger

Sorry it's been a week since I've posted! Now that I'm back to work full time our evening routine usually consists eating, watching a little t.v., bath time and going to bed. Chase continues to sleep well through the night, but our evenings are usually restless because he is such a squirmer in his crib. We still use the angel monitor under his mattress and since he likes to move off the monitor the alarm occasionally goes off. Actually I think it went off four times last night...so I run in, move him back to the center of the crib(all while he still sleeps) and then we try to get back to sleep. I think the positioning may be off from his last sheet change because normally we only have to get up once. I know we probably don't need to use the motion part of the monitor anymore, but it just gives us peace of mind. At least he's still not getting up to eat every few hours!!

In the pics below he is supporting some Philly teams-and since the Eagles blew it last weekend, we've moved on to cheering for the Ravens. Despite living down here for over a decade we don't own any Ravens gear(I did wear purple yesterday, and we are watching the game as I type this however:) We'll get around to getting him some Baltimore gear one of these days!! GO RAVENS!

Jumping in my crib

The only pic mommy could get where I wasn't slobbering all over the gadgets on my exersaucer

Recovered!

Jas finally had time to retrieve the missing photos from the SD card!! Here are a few, who cares if they are from before the holidays! In no particular order...

Getting ready to see Santa

It didn't go so well...

Yay!! My first cereal pic!

Talking in my crib

Talking in my crib after bathtime. These were from my phone, not great but still cute!




Chase's new favorite thing to do is "talk" to himself, his sheets, and the sides of his crib. This morning he woke up spent a while chatting before falling back to sleep. He was pretty loud over the monitor, and we couldn't help but laugh at how animated he was!

Oh What a Year!

Rockin' my AC/DC shirt for New Year's Eve!

Standing is hard work. I stick out my tongue when I'm concentrating.

Dancing in my crib!

2010 was full of adventure for our family. If you think about it, I suppose that's putting it lightly! According to this morning's trusty news report we amassed 58.7 inches of snow, had 58 days of 90+ degree weather, and 7 days over 100 degrees. All of those stats however pale in comparison to our whirlwind journey through my abbreviated pregnancy and Chase's very early arrival. The birth of our first child, and our families' first grandchild marked one of the most important milestones anyone can experience. Albeit an emotional roller coaster at times, we wouldn't trade the past 7 months for anything. Chase's unconventional arrival and our ensuing journey still ring vivid in our hearts and minds, and I imagine will for years to come.

We've shared so many of his firsts with everyone and look forward to sooo many more in 2011:) Thank you for all of your support during 2010! Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy New Year!!
