Yikes! It's been awhile!

Sunday, December 4th - Mom and I went with grandma and grandpa to Mankato for Uncle Lewis' concert. I wasn't feeling very well though, but nobody found that out until later that evening. I was a good boy through the concert and pretty good when we went out to eat afterwards. The ride home wasn't that great though. The first half was fine and I slept the entire time, but the second half, I was started to feel worse and I was getting really hot. Mom had to take me out of the carseat while we were still driving to take off all of my warm clothing. I was much better after that. I ran a fever til the 10th of December. Mom had been debating whether or not to bring me in to the doc. We had to go in to get my blood drawn on the 9th, so she decided to wait until then. Turns out I had an ear infection. I am constantly playing with my ear anyways, so no one would have known if I didn't have the fever. I had to take antibiotics for 10 days. It tasted very good!

Saturday, December 10th - Grandma's sisters came over to bake cookies and I helped!


Sunday, December 11th - It was dad's last day of work at Super America! Hurray! We went Christmas Tree shopping that night too. Mom forgot to bring her camera though, but she got pictures of my trying to help grandma water the tree. I tripped and landed with my arm in the cup of water!



Tuesday, December 13th was my last day of school with ECFE. It was the 6-10mo group. I was just turning 10 months when the class started. At the end of January, I get to start the 11-15mo class. I'll be turning 14mo when the class starts.

This is my new hat from Bass Pro Shop that i got for my birthday. It doesn't really have anything to do with school, but the picture of me wearing it was taken on the 13th.


Friday, December 16th - Daddy graduated from college! We went to check out his portfolio show (which he won best in class for), went out to eat at Rock Bottom, and then we attended the graduation ceremony. Pictures were really hard to take of daddy because mommies camera was not cooperating. Julie took me into the hall during the ceremony and played with me because I was bored.

Saturday, December 17th - Ariana had a dance recital at Edison Highschool. They were so cute, but the jerks wouldn't let them dance.

On Christmas Eve, Dad and I went to Maple Maze while mom shopped for some pants. She found 3 pairs for a total of $70 and saved $100 on them! We had a party at our house for Grandma Dianes family. It was fun and I got a few presents.

Christmas morning I got stuff in my stocking and opened up presents at home with mom, dad, uncle lewis and julie, aunt susan and matt, and grandma and grandpa miller. After we were done, we went over to Grandma Mary's house and had Christmas with mom's family. Grandpa Dave was even there! Kaden and I were wearing the same outfit, we looked like twins!

December 26th - Mom put all my old toys into the center of the ottoman and put my new toys on the shelf. I decided I didn't want them to go and I climbed into the ottoman and played.
