It's been awhile...

Well, it has been awhile since I have posted, but several things have happened.  We put up our Christmas tree last Wednesday.  That was nice.  Nick came home early from work and we started decorating.  I love Christmas.  At first, River really stared at the tree and the lights, but he really hasn't payed much attention to it since the first day we put it up.  Nick said last night he rolled over to it and started pulling on one of the branches.

 

Thanksgiving was last week.  We spent the day with the Hoffman's.  It was a nice day of eating and relaxing.  River gets soooo much love from both sides of the family.  He is definitely very loved!  The tie onesie I made for River turned out great and it looked so good on him!  Everyone thought it was really cute!

I worked Friday-Sunday after Thanksgiving.  They were nice slow days at work.  I always enjoy those days because the rest of the time work is pretty hectic.  River spent Friday and Saturday at Ma Ma and Pa Pa's and they had a great time.  He was very spoiled when he came home on Saturday night. :)  Ma Ma and Pa Pa said he enjoyed playing in the floor, looking outside, and watching Gracie.

About 2 weeks ago I stopped DVRing my soap opera General Hospital.  This was a pretty big deal.  I started watching General Hospital when I was little and I stayed with my Great Grandma, Grandma Heath.  She watched it everyday, so I did too.  I recorded it all through high school, college, pharmacy school, and the last few years.  When I had about 15 of them recorded on my DVR, I decided that it was time to stop watching.  I haven't had any withdrawals and am glad I decided to stop spending my time watching soaps.  :)

A few things about River...

• He is still teething, but no teeth.  He is chewing on everything!
• He enjoys rolling all over the floor, sitting up and playing with his toys, sitting in his high chair and looking outside, and watching Callie.
• He really thinks I am funny when I act goofy and when I dance.  He loves my hair in a pulled through ponytail on top of my head and has laughed at that since he was very little. 
• He always smiles at his daddy no matter what.
• He loves his paci and his cow lovey blanket.
• He really likes to "work" on things and figure out his toys
• He still doesn't really like to cuddle or be cradled
• His favorite foods are applesauce (we have a very clean bib after eating applesauce because he doesn't let any of it fall from his mouth!) and sweet peas.  
• He enjoys music and when his Daddy sings to him
• He smiles often and wakes up talking and playing in his crib when he's had enough rest
• He is very ticklish and has recently started using his hands to push you away when you tickle him 
• He loves for you to play peek-a-boo with him
• His favorite songs are pat-a-cake and the Wheels on the Bus.

Well, that is all for now.  River is waking up from his nap and is talking in his crib.  I love him so much!
