Tis the Season!

Well,  it's been a pretty good December,  especially this last 4 days celebrating Christmas!  We started off saturday spending the whole day at Seth's parents.  Sunday, I picked up a day shift at work (I had a moment of weakness when they asked)  but was home by 330 and did some baking with Eleanor and some other prep work for Monday,  my sister and her family and my Dad and Joanie came over for the afternoon and we had a Mexican themed Christmas.  Tuesday we opened presents from Sant in the morning and then we went to my Grandpa Jim's bar and saw some family I haven't seen in a long time!  then we made it back to town in time to spend an hour or two at Seth's grandparent's place.  now home to put toys together and clean up and relax and blog.  watching the kids play awsomely together..... with one of the boxes! lol

the stats

well, as promised, here are the stats from today's visit... 31.5 inches tall which is in the 92 percentile and 22.2 lbs which is in the 41 percentile.  still tall and lean.  everything went well, he is right where he should be.  hard to believe he is so big already!

guess who's one!

 Benjamin getting some help opening presents

Hard to believe, but my son is one!  his birthday was thursday and he also started walking on thursday!  On saturday we celebrated by having family over and having pizza and cupcakes.  He got lots of great presents including cars, a ride on motorcycle, and a batcave!  he had a blast playing with everything (and so did Eleanor!)  We woke up to quite a bit of snow this morning so we got out and played in it... he seemed to enjoy himself.  off to the doctor tomorrow so I will update with the stats after that.
