Well, we had a great Christmas. Walker was completely spoiled just like John and I expected. We got him a few things and he loved each one of them. That made us feel good :o). My parents and sister got Walker tons and tons of toys and clothes. I am so grateful for my family. Not just for the presents lol. For many other reasons as well. Walker was a little too young to understand presents this year, but we still had a great time.
John got me a beautiful garnet necklace that i did not deserve at all! It is Walker's birthstone and I cried when I opened it, it is just perfect. John always outdoes me with presents. He tells me just to accept it lol, but of course I want to suprise him sometimes!
Today is the first day of 2009. I really can't believe that 2008 is over. I guess what I really am astonished by is that my baby will be one in 18 days. It seems like I was just holding my little 7lb peanut in the hospital. I can't wait to have another newborn, but I don't think I'm ready just yet lol. I am very excited for Walker's birthday! John and I can't wait to turn his carseat forward facing. Though I wanted to keep him rear facing as long as possible, the convertable carseat we got just does not fit in our car rear facing. He is already over 20lbs so I think he will be ok forward. I also know he is going to just love being able to see us and everything going on around him. He is so aware now, he amazes me everyday with the new things he can do. He is now walking a lot better. He walks 4 or 5 feet before stumbling, and he is trying to walk faster now. His fine motor skills are getting so much better everyday. He got a toy for Christmas where you put a ball in a little tray that spirals down to the floor, and he does it by himself after my showing him only a few times! He also got a shape sorting toy and he tries that by himself too! The funniest thing is that we have this bamboo foot stool that Walker likes to stand up on and put things through the holes. Then he bends down and gets it out and puts it back through a hole. He will do this for a while at a time. I never showed him to do this, so it is so amazing to me that he thought of this all on his own!
I'm pretty sure Walker's top teeth will be coming through anyday now. At least I hope. He had a fever the last few nights so I took him to the Dr. yesterday. Everything was great, so they said it must just be from his teeth. He is a little grumpy and is having a lot of trouble sleeping. My poor baby. I hope they come through soon.
With the new year I am going to try to do a few things different and a few new things. One new thing is a project called 365. I am going to take a picture everyday, and each week make a digital scrapbooking page of the 7 pictures. I am so excited about this project and am determined to stick to it! I will post my pages here each week :o).
Here is a picture from Christmas
