Baby's First Christmas

We spent our holiday at home due to teething and colds. However, I must say, it was nice to be at home for Rhonen's first Christmas. We opened presents, went to the park, watched movies and solidified our new family traditions... as follows:

1. Christmas cookies (grandma Betty's recipe :~)
2. Dustin's eggnog
3. Cioppino


Rhonen just gets sweeter by the day and I can't wait to see what the new year brings us.

Merry Christmas

Oh Christmas Tree

From Rhonen's perspective! No wonder he is mesmerized!

7 months old

I can't believe it! I say that every month but it just seems crazy that it's been 7 months already. Rhonen is the light of our lives and we couldn't be happier. He is such a joy each day. He is getting really fast on the floor but hasn't graduated to crawling just yet. He's a great eater and doesn't really protest about food. Recently he has found his tongue and thinks it's funny to stick it out, which is super cute. The best thing is his singing...when we are in the car he starts to sing a little tune, I love it.

Back to work

That's right...I'm going back to work this week- luckily only part time. I'll be working for Enloe Hospital as a department secretary. It's only two days per week, which is perfect. It's just enough supplemental income and adult time to make it work! I'm really excited. And the best part is Rhonen gets to stay home with Dustin during the day as he works mostly in the evenings. I will admit... I thought about Rhonen probally every five minutes today and told at least twenty people about him. It's a busy time for us right now but things seem promising here in Chico. Wish me luck.

On the Verge...

Rhonen is so close to crawling... I think it's just a matter of finding some momentum. For now this is how he is getting around.
