This Christmas felt like it really had a purpose. In past years, we would wake up on Christmas morning, do our gift exchange, visit all our families, then come home with piles of gifts. The routine didn't change this year, but it felt like it had meaning. It felt like things weren't really about us. I mean, I know Christmas is about our Lord coming to Earth as a little baby, but in regard to the gift giving, I don't think we really had much concern as to what we got. It was way more exciting to see what Noah got. And boy, did he get some awesome stuff! Exersaucer, keepsake kit, clothes, jogging stroller...so much stuff that we don't have room for, but we're glad all the same for it!
I'm looking forward to next year's Christmas. Noah will be old enough to be able to open gifts, and he'll really get enjoyment out of it. :)
Noah's hit a few more milestones lately. He's figured out how to blow raspberries, and he does it all the time now! He's also figured out how to roll from one side to the other. I think he'll be rolling over completely soon. As far as tummy time goes...well...it doesn't. He absolutely HATES it, and the second we lay him down on the floor, he screams and cries, and either continues that for the full 30 minutes or falls asleep. He doesn't have much arm strength, although his head strength is good. When he's sitting up, he does so well. We have to hold him to keep him upright, but he holds his head up completely and looks around. When he's lying on someone's chest, he will lift his head really well. But, the second you lay him down on his tummy, he goes beserk. It stresses me out that he's so behind on that development, but I'm hoping that if we keep trying, he'll eventually get used to it and will start trying to push himself up.
He'll be 4 months old on the 7th. I can't believe it's been that long since he was born. He's growing so much...eventually he'll start crawling, and walking, and talking...and next thing you know, he'll be off to college! I'm so not ready for my little boy to grow up!
