So far our Holiday Season has been just what I would like for it to be. The only thing missing is being able to have the whole family together! I think Grandpa will be visiting us in January and I am really looking forward to Jaxon spending time with him, I know it will be a very special time for both!
The house is decorated and Jaxon has fallen in love with the Alvin and the chipmunks Christmas cd, just like his mama, it was always my favorite and I've discovered that it still is! We've started the Christmas cartoon tradition with Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer. Jaxon liked it I think, but being that it was an hour long he did seem to lose focus towards the end. To my surprise, not only was watching these holiday favorites like "Santa's Coming to Town," and "Frosty the Snowman" not a holiday tradition for Jason but he wasn't sure that he had ever seen one from beginning to end. This was very strange to me!
We have been talking to Jaxon about Santa, how he will come down our chimney on Christmas Eve and that we will leave out cookies and milk for the jolly fellow but this was not enough to convince Jaxon to sit on his lap at the mall. We have a Christmas party to go to tomorrow that Santa will be at so maybe he will warm up to him and give it a go.
Jillian is just so incredibly precious and she is already blowing through milestones much faster than Jaxon ever did. She has already rolled over once and now spends a large portion of her wakeful time trying to do it again. Our most recent appt with the GI specialist was very encouraging and the doctor feels pretty positive that she will grow out of her whey/soy/casein intolerance relatively early.
Look down below, I captured two of Jaxons lastest and most enjoyed art projects in a slide show and another slide show of Jillian. Hope you enjoy!
