more on Christmas

On the 23rd, we went to Gavin's birthday party. I made the cake, which I thought turned out really good. Jagger had a good time. On Christmas eve, we went to Aaron's parents. Jagger got some mega blocks and money for little gym classes from Gran and Paw and money from Aunt Charity, which we are going to put in savings. Then we came home and Jagger went to bed at like 5:30, so Santa got to work! Santa brought a ball pit, which I think is Jagger's favorite, a ball popper, laugh and learn kitchen, and other random goodies. Uncle Andrew gave Jagger a cozy coupe car. Meme got him a sled, some clothes, a v-tech toy, and other little goodies. Then we went to SueSue's for my family get together. Jagger got even more toys there. I can't even remember what all he got. This child should be set on toys for a long time! It was nice getting to see everyone, but I am glad to be back home.

Aaron got me a 50mm lens for my camera, which I am loving already! Jagger got me a beautiful necklace with his birthstone, which I have been wanting. We got Aaron a new shower head and an iPod dock.

Next up we have Jagger's first birthday!

Christmas Update

Jagger's first Christmas was wonderful! I think I was more into his gifts than he was, but he is having fun with them now.

We went down to TN on Sunday. Jagger was so good on the way down, so we should have known something was wrong and he had a bad night on Saturday night. We took his temperature and it was 103.6, which freaked us out. I called the dean on call nurse, which was no help, so we just gave him motrin until morning when I could call the pediatricians nurse. She said to watch him, unless we could not get the fever down. By Monday afternoon, his fever was just going up, so we took him to an urgent care clinic in dyersburg. Can I just say that I am glad I live in WI, because the health care is SO much better. They told us he probably had roseola, but he never broke out in a rash, so who knows. He got to feeling better on Wednesday evening.

More to come....

Yay for business!

I have had 3 different orders for this week! Two were from friends that I met online when I first found out I was having Jagger and we have all(a group of us) stuck around and stay in touch on a daily basis. The other was from Aaron's co-worker. I had 12 dozen cookies that I sent to one friend, the other lady ordered cookies and truffles as gifts for friends, so I had 2 dozen total cookies and a dozen truffles. Lastly, I had a dozen cookies, 2 dozen truffles and a dozen brownies for Aaron's co-worker. The cookies I made for her had to be my best yet, I simply love them and think they turned out awesome!

Jagger now claps! It is not like our clap, but his arms go flying in the air and he is trying to get those hands together! It is so freaking cute and he does it when he gets excited, like when Daddy comes home or I open the front door! He also has said "ma" to me to get my attention several times. He will yell and wave at someone to get their attention. I am ready for Christmas, but I don't think he is going to care, because he is not interested in toys really. He likes to get into things he shouldn't, like the toilet.

A year ago

I can't believe this picture was taken this time last year and now I have a happy, healthy, bouncing baby boy. Can I still call him a baby boy after his first birthday even though he will be considered a toddler?!?

Christmas

I am not sure how we are going to get back home from TN after Christmas. Everytime I talk to my mom, she tells me of something else that she has gotten Jagger, and it is all big stuff. We we got him is also bigger. Next comes, where in the world will I put all of this stuff when we get back home?! Jagger seems to be getting his molars in and it sucks. He is so grumpy. I sure hope they come in soon. He is such a sweetheart though!

Emma has started to show her age since it has gotten colder here. She has gotten a little grumpy with Jagger and didn't want to play like she always has, but I started giving her rimadyl (a NSAID) and she seems to have bounced back. Whatever keeps her feeling good!

Oh, if anyone knows how to get a HP printer back to english, from god knows what language, feel free to share! Jagger likes to try and make copies, but changed the language while doing so.

Music

Jagger loves music! He also LOVES to shake his booty! I have added some of his new favorite tunes, feel free to pause them because they will get stuck in your head, but they are very cute!

We had his height/weight check yesterday with the second H1N1. Everything went well. He is growing, still small, but the pediatrician doesn't seem to be concerned.

We got a butt load of snow overnight Tuesday and then it has been freezing, like below zero freezing. The roads are in bad shape, which sucks because I feel trapped in the house, but that may be a good thing!

10 months

Really, 10 months already? Jagger is growing into a little man everyday. He officially says "dadada" all the time now! He is pulling up on everything, vertical is the only option these days! He somewhat cruises the furniture, but is still scared. He has been fussy the past few days and I can't figure out what is wrong. Maybe teeth, but it is not like it has been in the past with teeth.

We are currently under a blizzard warning, fun, fun! What makes it even better is that our snow blower is not working and we could get up to 16 inches of snow! I made a huge mistake this morning of thinking I could make it into Madison, but I maybe made it a few miles down the road before I found the ditch. Luckily, no one was hurt, not even the truck. Aaron was not very happy with me, but is glad we are ok. I did have a flat tire, so he had to leave work early and come change it for me. Needless to say, I will not be leaving the house very often this winter!

Santa

Jagger went to see Santa yesterday! He was a little angel, so I am sure Santa will be good to him this year :)

I also took a few pictures in an attempt for a holiday card picture. I am not completely happy with them, but they may have to work.

Here are some.

Our Christmas Tree!

Snow!

We got our first snow yesterday! It is just a dusting here, but I think in Verona they got quite a bit. While Jagger and I were out shopping yesterday, he was amazed at the white stuff falling from the sky. He was even trying to catch it with his tongue, silly boy!

We are done Christmas shopping, except I have to get one more thing for Uncle Andrew. We have decorated, all that we are going to anyway! Our tree looks really pretty this year! Jagger, surprisingly has not touched it or the gifts under it. He is quite the little helper when it comes to wrapping gifts though! We will be taking his Christmas picture today or tomorrow so that I can get Christmas cards out next week.
