Baby’s 1^st Christmas was so special for us. Just the three of us spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day together.  Tyler helped me wrap gifts Christmas Eve, so there may have been some teeth marks and torn paper on a few of them. He really liked to chew on his reindeer slippers that I had him too. We went out to dinner and he was so good, as usual. I figured he may sleep later since he went to bed past his usual 7pm bedtime, but nope. He is like a clock when it is time to eat, so up at 6am. He went back to sleep for a couple of hours Christmas Day, and when he woke up at about 8:30 we introduced him to the fun of unwrapping gifts. We got it all on video, and it is too cute. He was really excited to rip the paper and he loved his baby grand piano the best. We played with that and bubbles until he could barely stay awake. He ate his 10am breakfast and then fell right asleep. It was perfect timing for me because I got to start my crawfish etoufee. We had a Cajun Christmas, haha. He played Wii with us later on and that wore him out too b/c he took the longest afternoon nap. It was such a long day for him, but we were glad to see that he enjoyed all of his new toys…not that he doesn’t get new ones almost every weekend.  We have so much fun playing with him. There is nothing better than a smiling laughing baby, especially with that dimple! I just kept remembering last year when I was pregnant with him and how all I could think about was how much better and different this year would be. It did not disappoint. Life is amazing as a family. Now, it was my first Christmas not going home, but we didn’t feel comfortable getting in all the traffic and construction with our precious baby boy. It was strange not doing the hectic traveling visiting all the relatives in 24 hrs deal, but this is how our Christmas’ are going to be-at our home, so we figured we might as well start now. And next year we will surely have too much to travel with ; ).  We had Christmas at Kaki’s and Pawpaw Curtis’ over the weekend too. Lil B got so many compliments from cousins he had never met and everyone else about how good and pretty he is. As usual he never fussed when passed around and just took his naps on me, so no grumpus baby- to my surprise b/c it was such a long weekend and so many people played with him.  So obviously this was the best Christmas I can remember b/c I had my own little miracle with me on such a special day. God is good.
