December wrap-up

This Christmas season has been full of firsts for all of us! It was our first Christmas as parents, which made it our best Christmas so far! And our moms’ first Christmas as Mimi and Nonna (the Italian word for “grandma”)! Ty’s first tooth pushed through the day before Christmas eve, and the little stinker is now trying to chew on everything he can get his hands on…Corey’s pants, my shirt, our fingers…even our faces!!! He even chews on his sippy cup from which he’s supposed to be learning how to drink water! He’s so funny!

Another big event in our house is that Ty is learning to crawl! Over Christmas, he scooted forward for the first time! Well, it was only about an inch and, really, it was only his knees that moved forward–not his hands–but it still counts! It was his first scoot! Now he has progressed from rocking on his hands and knees to doing an “army” crawl (he pulls with his hands and drags his legs) across the living room floor! He can be very determined to move if he has the right motivation. He’s very interested in the drawer handles on the armoire, magazines, the t.v. remote, phones, anything with a tag, and oh yeah, sometimes toys too!

Here are a few pictures from Christmas time with our family…
