25 Weeks Photos-Christmas Eve

Sitting like a big boy!

Here he is giving you a little taste of how he moves in the walker.  He can do so much better than that!

These are the Santa hat brownies I made for his daycare party.   It was the first time I felt like a real mom.  

Curly wet hair. 

Here he is with his cousin Alexander

Looks like they are already punching and hitting each other. 

Hanging out downstairs while Mommy does laundry. 

This was December 23rd and he just started rolling from his back to his belly.  I had done the "get your toy" trick several times before this and he was never interested. What made him actually start rolling on this day was me wrapping presents just out of reach.  And Voila!  He totally figured out how to roll.  I took this video to show Kiel since he was at work when he started rolling.  

Now he sits up to play his piano, but he forgets that he can't just throw himself back.  

He gets bored just playing with his hands so he uses his hands and his feet...

and his mouth!

He loves hanging out in his care and beeping the horn!

He sits up in the tub now!

So big!

Here is another video of him.  I wanted him to roll more, but it was right before bed and he was tired!

Christmas Eve photos of 4 generations

Here is a picture with my parents and Yiayia (my dad's mom on the left) and Memere (my mom's mom on the right). 

Here we are before we went out on Xmas eve.  The pictures uploaded all out of order and I just want to finally get this posted so I am just leaving them be!

His little suit is actually a one piece onesie.  He loved it!

Despite his crying face, he did actually like opening presents!

Here he is opening his traditional Christmas pjs!

You can see how focused he gets when he is working on a project!

I read online that every year you should take a sleeping photo of your child on Xmas Eve and call is your "Sugarplum Shot".  Please remind me to do this every year!

As you can see, we still use the Nap Nanny.  He is still in the room with us and I wake up to every little sound so I think we are safe using it still.  We would never just put it in the middle of his crib like other parents have, which is how the other babies have died.
