Crazy Christmas

My goodness. We had another crazy, all go, non-stop, up past our bedtimes Christmas. Wow, it really wore me out this year. Between Brett having to work and having family in town we were hardly home. 

Brett's grandparents and Casey came to visit this year. We had lots of lunches and spent a lot of time playing on Brett's new XBox with Casey and Brooke.

Brett and I had our Christmas dinner the Wednesday before. We got everything ready during the day, then I went to work for a few appointments and raced home. Because the day was so crazy, we served soup instead of the usual ham and giant sides. Alec came with Troy and Christina this year. It is always so hard to find a day that works for everyone.

On Christmas Eve, we had the usual Day Family dinner. We ate out at Bucca Di Beppo. It's this fabulous Italian restaurant that serves giant plates of food. Brett had to work after dinner so I spent time with my dad's family. They are always good for the jokes and the teasing.

Christmas day was busy as well. We spent our morning opening presents. Isaac enjoyed eating the wrapping paper. We had a light breakfast at my mom's house and opened presents with them too. We crashed for an hour before heading over to Brett's parent's house. We opened presents. Which always takes a long time. I ate lots of M&Ms during this time. When lunch/dinner rolled around, I ended up getting sick from to OD of chocolate. Seriously I ate most of the three pound bag. I am sure I have brought shame to the chocolate eating Day family.

Later in the evening Brett left for work and went back to spend some more time with my parents and eventually we all made it to bed. 

So people, who else has a crazy Christmas? I decided that next  Christmas, I will be out of town. Yeah.

Seven Months

Age: 7 months

Height: 28 1/2 inches (unofficially)

Weight: 19 pounds 16 ounces (unofficially)

Isaac is doing pretty good. He is so happy with crawling. He is very good at it now. He can get pretty much anywhere. He is pulling himself up on his feet now too. He will stand there and play, then get down and move on to the next interesting thing. His sitting is perfect. He can usually get himself from laying down to sitting without rolling over.

He is finally up to drinking eight ounces at a time. We wasted so much formula thinking he wanted more to drink, but he would just shake the bottle around for something to do. He loves eating though. 

Isaac and the dogs are getting along now that he is crawling. They let him "pet" him as long as they get a lick or two in. I find this disgusting and try to prevent the lickage as often as possible. But the dogs like him which is good. I still watch them carefully though, I can't completely trust them to be nice to each other.

Isaac is in 9-12 months baby clothes. I am just blown away by that.

He knows a few games with help for the hand motions. He likes to chew on strings and cords, actually everything. Isaac also got a haircut, yes he is adorable.
