Santa Baby

I would like to thank whoever invented the high chair.  We had been using a bumbo to keep Dexter seated during feeding.  During the meal the tile floor would become very interesting, along with any drop of food.  He eventually learned to twist out, it was now useless.  A high chair has solved many problems.  Its funny how the little things like this can make a huge difference.

Well Kyle has his nose to the books, er computer.  Still just a chugging away on final projects, exams, reports, and homework.  He took a short break to go look at ugly sweaters, and do some little errands.  We had to get ready for the ward party.

It wasn't an "ugly sweater" Christmas party.  Just a sweater one.  They didn't want to offend anyone in case someone thought their sweater was cute, not ugly...but it really was ugly.  Savers and DI were already picked through.  Kyle found a sweater that he wanted to modify and we picked up one for Dak too.

We had fun at the ward party.  Kyle's sweater even won for "brightest." He had put bright green duct tape in the shape of a tree and a glow-in-the-dark star on it.  I'm sure Dexter would have won something, but they said due to him not being able to walk he couldn't be in the runnings.

In all our sweater glory

At the end of the party was a Santa.  By this time Dexter had been up for almost 5 hours straight (2-3 is all he normally can last).  He was not happy and did NOT want to be held by anyone else.  Santa got a nice loud scream....but I got a cute picture.

Sunday Kyle took a break and I loved having another helper.  He went back to the grind on Monday.  

It's been hard not to bother him...and this week I'm failing bad.  I keep wanting to think he's done.  

Just a few more days...oh oh.  Can't wait.

Excited for Christmas coming up too.

Dexter likes to take down and wrestle this giraffe.  He had just recently done so.

Got a jumper thing.  Keeps him stationary and happy for like...4 minutes.

He was in a good mood on Monday, so I quickly put Dak in his Christmas PJs/outfit and did his 8 month photoshoot.  Here's my favorites, the rest can be found on my other blog here: http://whphotos.blogspot.com/2011/12/8-months-christmas.html  I love taking photos.  Its fun and something to keep me learning. A good outlet, and of course I got a cute model.

Somehow he looks calm here...which he was not
