You are nine months old today, Socha. We didn't do anything special for you, unless you consider cleaning the house a celebration of sorts. Yesterday was another matter entirely - first, for the first time, we got about 100 holiday cards out (as in, they are in the mail!)! That's the first time we've done that together. And included with many of those holiday cards was your birth announcement (9 months late, but what can you do?). Finally, I can scratch that off my To-Do list! Then we took you to your first holiday extravaganza (the Jingle Mingle) held at the school's science center. We got you all dressed up in a pretty dress with tights and a bow on your head - you were our present to the DA community! We were hoping that the party wouldn't be too loud since you seem to dislike very loud noises, but I guess since it was progressively louder as we approached, you took it in stride. And, of course, a bunch of people wanted to hold you. Your cheeks were squeezed, your thighs were squeezed, you were squeezed, and you were oohed and ahed over since you were looking so snazzy in your holiday outfit. Thanks to Madison for the hair bow and to Sheila and Lloyd for the red tights.
Most of your ninth month was spent at home. We actually stayed put for four weeks. I had a chance to start an exercise program in those four weeks and have worked out on 23 out of the last 26 days. I am hoping to keep up the exercise during our travels in the next couple of weeks, so I'm going to have to be creative with the weight lifting exercises! I guess I've got a bit of a head start on a New Year's resolution!
We're looking forward to seeing your Nana, Grampy, and Uncle Keith over Christmas, and pretty much all of your Jewett relatives over New Year's. We have a couple of very busy weeks ahead, including a bunch of flights. I'm sure it will be much easier to travel with you with both your Dad and I traveling (compared to when I took you out to Colorado this summer - although, you were incredibly well-behaved on that trip, pretty much slept the whole time we were ever on a plane). I think the hardest part for you will be the time changes - now that we've got you on a pretty good routine we're going to go right ahead and mess it all up for a couple of weeks. I think you can handle it.
I'm sure you can't wait to get your hands on your Christmas present wrapping paper!
