Age: 9m3w

Milestones: He's starting to wave, kinda. He now "dances" (looks like jerky humping, lol) but only to the singing Christmas tree. And he's really picking up on words and understands simple commands (still not saying anything himself though).

Challenges: Not much. Sleep is finally going well again (knock on wood). He's very dramatic with his tantrums but I'm used to it enough now to just ignore it.

Funny/cute story: He loves grocery shopping, but today he decided he was having so much fun he wanted the whole store to know, and babble-yelled at everyone who walked by us.

Also, with learning words now, he knows "bath." If I say it, he makes a beeline for the bathroom and waits eagerly.

How are you? I'm good. Working on Christmas things, house projects, next year budgeting things.

QOTW: Do you make anything special for the holidays? My contributions to parties every year are bacon-wrapped water chestnuts and puppy chow. Oh and often honey-garlic glazed meatballs. And sometimes these tiny white chocolate brie cups. I'm not big into making cookies.

Age: 6.5 months

Milestones: sitting better

Challenges: baths. She screams bloody murder when she touches the water. We got her in the big tub with h just to play and she was hesitant but okay with that after a while. So hopefully it will get better if we keep doing that.

Funny/cute story: She's been telling a lot lately and it's the cutest thing ever. I love it. She makes the weirdest noises.

How are you? Doing okay.

QOTW: Do you make anything special for the holidays? Cookies, meals, drinks? Nothing special. Maybe some cookies.

Age: 9.75 months

Milestones: Waving! Understands more commands. Becoming even more social, if that is possible.

Challenges: He is getting sick again. We are supposed to go OOT to watch my sis graduate nursing school and I'm torn about it. Grrr

Funny/cute story: Y'all he LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He gets all excited when it comes on and squeals and bounces when he sees Mickey. So freaking adorable!!

How are you? I'm good. Tired. H wants to go camping after Christmas. It makes two trips sans baby for him and zero breaks for me. But I'm not keeping score or anything.

QOTW: Do you make anything special for the holidays? Cookies, meals, drinks? I almost always make a cream cheese poundcake.
