Christmas Firsts

It's been an interesting week filled with Christmas firsts:


  1. First Christmas Gifts - Xander received some really nice gifts this year. From mommy and daddy, he got some heat monitoring spoons, bibs, a new outfit, and a blinky key toy. From great grandparents, he received money. From grandparents, he received blocks, books, and money. From S & D, he received a cute Christmas ornament. From Auntie Laura and Uncle Chris, he received two cool fisher price toys.
  2. First overnight trip from home - The trip to Ft. Worth went very smoothly as he slept almost the whole way. On the way back, it was a little more challenging because he was awake. He kept getting bored and lonely in the back. Eventually, he did fall asleep so we could make it the rest of the way home. Auntie Laura and Uncle Chris were kind enough to let us borrow their bed while we visited and that made things a lot easier.
  3. First ear infection and medicine - On the 23rd, Xander was really fussing and inconsolable. We took him into the doctor to check for an ear infection. Since Dad was suffering through one (and still is), there was a good chance. We were right. The doctor gave us some antibiotics and we have a check up in 3 weeks.
  4. First accident in the bath - This one is pretty gross so you might want to skip it. The antibiotic that we gave Xander for his ear infection also has a side effect of loose stools, which he accidentally had in the bath tub. I have to say that is the grossest thing our little boy has done so far. Daddy helped me hose him off with the kitchen sink sprayer and we had a 2nd bath. Yuck! Then, I spent and hour disinfecting the sink.

Ha, our boy did #4 in one of his first tub baths, and then he peed on the towel as we were taking him out of the mess. It traumatized us!
