Our First Christmas











What a whirlwind of a week! We headed out on Monday to Alabama to spend time with Daryl's family. Christmas Eve is a big tradition up there so we got to enjoy that with all of them! The boys were totally spoiled as to be expected! They got lots of toys and goodies from everyone! The drive up there was a little hairier than the last one but my Mom got us a portable DVD player and a Backyardigans DVD and it literally saved the day! The thought of getting a DVD player never really crossed my mind since they are so young but man did it come in handy! They didn't sleep as much as the last time either so that made the drive a little longer as well.

We woke up around 4am on Christmas day to head back to Orlando so that we could enjoy Christmas with my family. We are totally exhausted but it was all worth it!

Santa brought something extra special for Carter....his two lower front teeth! And it looks as though there are little nubbs coming in on both sides of those teeth as well. Not sure if it's the other teeth or part of the 2 front ones but none the less we finally have teeth! No sight of toofers on Cam but I am sure within the next week or so we will see some popping through!

Oh and they had thier 8mth bday on Christmas Eve! They have really made a lot of strides over the last month or so. They are finally sitting up but you have to be close by since they are a bit weeble-wobble like. And I know I have been saying that they are going to crawl any day now but seriously, any day now! They have been rocking on all fours for about a month now so we shall see.

We are "trying" to introduce some table type food. Mostly just the little Gerber puffs that melt in thier mouth but watching them try to pick them up and put them in thier mouths is hilarious!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
