Russell's first Christmas was great! He enjoyed eating wrapping paper, boxes, tissue paper...and later seemed to find that he actually got some "real" toys! He's doing great! He had his 9 month checkup last week and is 20lbs 8oz and 28 1/2 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile, which is great! No new teeth, but the bottom two are in, and VERY sharp! Haha He pulls himself up on anything and everything. If he's anything like Erick he could be walking within the next month. Yikes!

Erick had a fabulous Christmas! To really see the magic of Christmas through a child's eyes is amazing. The excitement Erick had (and shared) this year about Christmas was so special. The preparations for Santa are always fun. We did talk Erick out of the coffee he wanted to provide Santa and supplied him with a nice cold glass of milke to go with his cookie and fudge!

We are all doing well, and hope the same for you! Best wishes as we start a New Year!
