Christmas Over

You are probably wondering why no Christmas post has been made. Well, it's been a very busy holiday, and now that I'm back to work I still haven't had much time to login to the BLOG to make a post until now. Most people will be pretty sad to hear that I didn't take to many pictures over the holidays, especially when it's the baby's 1st Christmas. Well, I in fact took more video's instead. I am in the midst of saving them to my PC and producing a Brenden's 1st Christmas DVD. I think I have almost an hour of footage at least. I can probably grab some stills from the video camera and have them printed, however I don't think the quality will be that good. I do have some pictures and I will post them as soon as I figure out which ones I want to put up.
Overall the holidays for us are very busy. We put over 1000km on the car during a 4 day span. Brenden was a little trooper and hardly fussed about all the driving. Being strapped in a seat can't be that much fun. In and out, in and out. I found out as long as I sing his favorite song, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" while strapping him in, he laughs about it instead of fussing over the fact he's being strapped down, over and over again.

Brenden would like to thank everyone for his wonderful gifts. He plays with everyone of them and loves them. Michelle and I have learned most of the tunes each one emits down to a "T". It's funny, because while I'm at work, occasionally I sing to myself, the tunes these toys emit. It's getting into my head and I can't get it out. I guess this is where our childhood starts to come back to us.

For the videos, I may make it available on-line, but you'll have to make sure you have high-speed access to see it, or possibly download it to your PC first before viewing.

Hands Off

Brenden is now finally able to hold his own bottle when he eats. We still hold him, but we are totally, "Hand's Off", and he likes it that way.

We finally put up our Christmas tree on Sunday, and Brenden seems to have taken a liking to seeing something new in the house. He likes the lights and the reflections. He can sit for hours staring at that tree, as if he's waiting for it to make the first move.

Yester Michelle swears that Bredned said, "Mama" for the first time, but since she's said that, I've yet to hear him say that. Michelle has taught him to make the kissing sound, simply by puckering the lips and making the kissing noise we all make (try kissing without making a noise, talk about wierd). It' so funny when he does it.

Anyway, have to go get ready for work. Another Christmas party to attend this afternoon and much to get done before that.

Later,
Dave

First Santa Sighting

Well here it is. Brenden finally got to meet the one and only, Santa Clause. Surprisingly enough, he smiled for this picture as well. He's very photogenic apparently. I'm off to bed, so I'll keep it short. Here's the picture. Good night.

Chrismas Portraits

Well, we got our Walmart Christmas portraits back and they turned out great! Smiles all around. Not much to upadate this week, but I will post the pictures at least.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!
