December!

Sorry it has been taking so long between posts...I feel like I am a very busy person/mother...

December brings on a lot for most people and for us it's no different, Christmas, of course being the big one..then there is Jaxon's birthday on the 27th, Keisha's on break from school..and I have decided to keep her home from daycare during this break so we can work on some behavioral issues and really spend some time with her.  Jaxon has been enjoying having his big sister around during the day, except when she's loud in the morning and during his naps and she wakes him up!
I found out yesterday that Jaxon has bronchitis, he hasn't been feeling well since Saturday :( he is now taking meds and is looking and feeling better already!

I am so excited for Jaxon's first Christmas and saddened that his first birthday is coming up all at the same time...my little baby is not so much a baby anymore...they do grow up too fast! He's still not walking on his own, only around furniture. He has 7 beautiful little teeth, 4 on top and 3 on bottom. He can say "Keisha", "Elmo", "no", "mama", "dada" and what ever other word he decides to mimic. Keeping him out of the tree has been a job and a half, so much that there are 2 big rubbermaid tubs blocking it off...but he still manages to get the occasional ordament.

Keisha has been a little louder and has been stiming a bit more, not sure if it's because of Christmas or what exactly, but we are working on it. She's also wanting to eat non stop..I always say "She must think I am a good cook, because everytime I am in the kitchen cooking she is in there waiting to be fed!" and it's true, I am constantly kicking her out of the kitchen..

First Snow Storm

Our first bit of snow for the season landed on November 23rd this year and of course Keisha was in heaven! She loves the snow...mostly just eating it, but she had a great time walking around in it the day after. She had 2 days off of school because of all the snow we got and that was fun for her too.

Jaxon got to see snow for the first time really..he was born in winter but we didn't take him out in it because he was too little. So his first experience was kinda funny, I don't think he understood what was falling on his face and just kept his head up and was blinking..the next day I took him out in his snow suit and he just kinda sat there looking around, not at all impressed, but so cute!

Friday November 25th was one of Keisha's friends birthday, Willow, they had a skating party at the arena! What a great idea! I'll be keeping that in mind for Keisha next year :) Allen and I took both the kids to the party and him and Keisha got their skates on and had a blast. Jaxon and I were quite cold though so maybe not as fun for us, although Jaxon enjoyed skating around with daddy...I swear Allen will have skates on him as soon as he can walk ;)
