Merry Christmas - A Few Weeks Late!

Well, we had a wonderful Christmas this year and I wanted to share pictures. I realize that my previous post is a "Happy 10 month baby boy" post and is thus out of order from my Christmas post, but hey, when was I ever one to follow the rules??

Josh got tons of presents from his Grandma, who loves to spoil him! He got a few presents from Santa, but not much since we knew all the fun he would get from Grandma.

Here are some pictures of the day!

Opening his presents with his daddy
We actually do Christmas a little different in our home. Since Patric is Swedish, and the Swede's celebrate Christmas on the 24th of December, that is when we celebrate it as a family. Then we go celebrate with my family on the 25th. It is so much fun around the holidays in my family!

If you did not get a Christmas card from me this year, do not feel bad. This is the picture we sent out. I was better this year then last year, but I still left out a lot of people! Last year I did not send any out, due to the fact that I was working full time, 6 months pregnant, and finishing my bachelor's degree.

He was busy opening all the presents at Uncle David and Aunt Teri's house. I believe he is opening their present to him in this picture.
Josh is just hanging out with his Grandma, looking at his cool new GloWorm. He loves this thing. I hear him playing with it in his crib every night, and every nap time.

Well--speaking of nap times, Josh is waking up from his nap, so I must go play with him.

Til next time!!

Happy 10 months little boy!

I can't believe my little boy is 10 months old today. He has officially been outside of my body longer than he was inside. He has fun playing with his cousin Sage, where this picture was taken. He has been crawling around since about 5 months but he is getting more bold with standing now. He has stood on his own for many seconds at a time.

Patric and I are going to Sweden from Feb 28-Mar 9. This is will be quite a trip for Josh as we have never traveled on a plane with a baby before, and not so long of a trip as we are going on soon. We will be selling Patric's apartment that he has over there so that we can pay down some debt and save for a single family home here in Virginia, though he has family and friends that want us to move to Sweden really bad. That won't happen until Patric gets American Citizenship so that we can move freely between the two countries without having to go through the whole immigration process again. I don't think our marriage could handle that again.

Other then that, not much is going on in our lives. We watched the Giants beat the Cowboys yesterday and that was fun! I always get so nervous watching Giants games because I really want them to win and get so disappointed when they don't. I am a dork.

Anyways, that is all for now!

Where has the time gone??

Wow! I have not blogged in months! And looking at the pictures I posted reminded me of how time flies and that the decision I made to stay home with Josh was an inspired one. I have a silly little boy.
