Merry Christmas

Christmas has come and gone so quickly! We've had a very busy December with visits from Cara and Olivia and Amanda's family and then a trip to Kelowna to celebrate Christmas with our Kelowna family. It was great to celebrate Jonas's first Christmas and he was definitely the hit of the party while we were in Kelowna. He seemed to like grabbing at the wrapping paper and pulling at it but like a true child, he seemed to enjoy the wrapping paper more than the gift itself!

I do think he was a bit sad/lonely today as he seemed to want to be held more than normal and he was quite clingy to Keith when he came home from work today. It was quite cute and sad all at the same time.

Some of his firsts this month included eating rice cereal and now barley cereal! He loves it and opens his mouth like a little bird being fed worms! Another first, sitting up without any support and staying up for prolonged periods. He had his first snow fall which he looked at with a questioning eye. We've also started putting away some of his "baby toys"...yes, we know he's not even 6 months yet, but there seemed to be a few toys that he just wasn't loving the way he used to! He also had his first cold this month and it's lasted almost 4 weeks. We had him checked out the first week into it and the Dr felt it would just clear itself up. It doesn't seem to bother him until he starts up with the cough and when we're out in public and he's coughing away, I feel like eyes are watching us and thinking that we shouldn't have our "sick child"out and about. Otherwise, we're doing great and we're looking forward to all that 2009 has to bring!
