Christmas Baking: Day 1

I caught a nasty bug before we left Oregon and this weekend I finally started feeling better! What a lame time to get sick! I'm having to fit Christmas into less than one week. So today I got busy making Christmas goodies. I made chex mix, fudge, and Sprtizgeback (a German butter cookie). Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the Vanillekipferl and Pfeffernusse cookies made. I also got a Christmas puzzle started while I sipped on eggnog!

I love Christmas!

I also love finding out new things about Zack, even after 6 years together. I was rolling on the floor in tears today when he said "shredded wreat." Who can't say wheat? Hilarious!

Hope you're having a wonderful Christmas week!

5 Months

Zeke is 5 months old today! He's been a busy baby this month! Sitting, rolling, and maneuvering around in circles on the floor...pause while I pull him away from the wrapped Christmas presents... :O. He's tried avocado and butternut squash, which he liked more than I had anticipated. I have really enjoyed breastfeeding, and a part of me was hoping he wouldn't like food so much. I'm glad he's a good eater though! He's exclusively wearing 9 month clothes and our size 1 diaper covers are quickly meeting their match. He plays more independently and is usually pretty happy, but is keeping mommy and daddy up at night again! 4 month sleep regression has not been kind to this home. :p We love this adorable little guy!
