You know you are tired...

When you try to change the channel on the TV, your thumb moving up and down. And then you realize you are not holding the remote. I am just ending week seven of sleep deprivation, hoping it will get better soon.

One month old

Von turned one month old yesterday. He is getting so big already. I, however am still waiting for the day that he decides to sleep more than a few hours at a time at night. His sleep habits are great compared to what we went through with Addi, so I guess I cannot complain. He is finally willing to nurse again. He was put on a bottle a few days after he was born because of the jaundice and was on it for almost a week, which made him not want me at all. But these last few days, he has had a change in heart and is doing great. We are so happy that he is a part of our little family and can't wait to see more of his personality come out.

Von's Blessing

We blessed Von on the 4th.  My parents were in town, so took the opportunity to do it while they were here.  He was so good, and slept through the whole thing.  Princess Addi
We forgot to take pictures until Von was already strapped up in his car seat.

Christmas

This was the first year that Addi really understood Christmas and anticipated it. On the eve of Christmas Eve, we made sugar cookies for Santa, a new Christmas tradition. The final product.Von's first Christmas Eve.  Christmas Eve we went to Ian's parents house for dinner.  His mom told the story of our Savior's birth as we celebrate the real meaning of Christmas.Santa brought Addi a race car track and a marble track. She had little interest in any of her other presents she had left to open.

After we opened gifts at our house and had breakfast, we went over to Ian's parent's house to spend the rest of the day.
