The past month has flown by as it always does with all of the Holiday "hustle and bustle." We started the Christmas celebration by going to Grandma & Grandpa White's the weekend before Christmas, where we spent the day eating, and playing games all afternoon and ended the day by going into town for the Christmas parade. December 22, we all went to Grandma Laura & Grandpa Joe's house where we enjoyed a delicious supper, and the traditional pictures of hanging our "mouse" on the tree. On Christmas Eve we celebrated with my family at Mom & Dad's house. We spent the day opening gifts and watching Christmas movies while lounging around and watching Adler enjoy all of his Christmas presents. Unfortunately this year we missed out on Christmas at the Semmel's on Christmas day due to me having to work. Then we spent the day after Christmas celebrating with Jared's family. We are blessed to have all of our family close enough that we can celebrate with everyone.
Adler had a wonderful first Christmas to say the least. I'm afraid that we are going to have to add an extra room onto the house to store all of his toys. He wasn't real sure of what to think when getting all of these gifts, but he is enjoying every last one of them!
The past month has meant a lot of new milestones for Adler. He has discovered his tongue. He loves putting his little fingers in his mouth and feeling it, and of course this means that we slobber all over everything! He has also figured out how to spit, and thinks that this is the best thing. His biggest milestone this month is rolling over! He loves rolling over, but once he makes it to his tummy the fun is over. He doesn't like to be on his tummy, so I roll him to his back and we start the process all over again. His latest thing is scratching, he scratches at anything and everything within reach.
Yesterday was Adler's 4 month check-up. He got his second round of shots, and acted like such a big boy. He only cried for a minute, that was it. He has handled them well, no fever or fussiness. Wahoooo! He now weighs 16.09 lbs and is 25 inches long, putting him in the 75th percentile in weight and 65th percentile in length. He is growing like a weed! I haven't figured out a way to slow this down yet, but I'm working on it.
Well I think that is all for now, I hope that everyone has a Blessed and Happy New Year!
