Barret has officially slept through the night without waking up 4 times in the past week!!!! YAY!!! This sleeping is just confirming Mama and Daddy's ever wondering of getting a full nights sleep really is true, and there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Barret is also becoming quite the eater, he loves to feed himself, which makes it a bit more difficult since he doesn't have the whole spoon thing down, but he loves pasta, tuna mac, bananas, oranges, and any bread substance. He really does do a great job feeding himself meals, and the past few nights dinners have consisted of NO baby food! He is getting so BIG!
I think the whole eating thing has come together better since he now has more than two teeth, his fifth tooth is working its way in on the top, and he is getting such a funny smile with those cute little pearly whites. I love it.
For Mama's birthday we ventured out in the cold to buy our Christmas tree! We weren't sure just how Barret would react to it, but it turns out, he LOVES it. At the shop he was a little timid when it came to touching the tree, but once we got it home, he couldn't stay away. He would stand there and laugh at it, like it was telling some sort of joke or something, and then run away. The next morning, when it was completely decorated, Barret went straight for it, taking off the jingle bells from the bottom of the tree and running around the living room just shaking them and making silly noises. He loves the tree, and is doing better about whacking it with his toys, or trying to take off other ornaments. One day last week I came home with a couple presents, already wrapped, and place them on the floor. He immediately went for the bag and pulled out the tissue paper, displaying a pretty neat present for the little guy, and tried to pull out what was inside. We now know that he will have no problem opening his presents on Christmas morning (as long as they are in bags).
Barret has officially been exposed to all things Christmas, with the abundance of Christmas cookies we have in our house, the snow, the lights, the tree, the music playing in the back ground all day long, and the warm snuggles before bed.
This weekend we hope to go sledding or even build a snowman! I can't wait.
This past Tuesday Uncle Jason came home from Florida! It was the first time we got to see him, other than on skype, since August, so we were very excited for him to come home. We went to Peoria and met him at the airport, then got to go out to dinner with the family! It was so great to see him!
