We started December off with Christmas preparations. Trimming the treat and Santa Claus was at the top of the list!
Starting the holiday with WILLPower and a successful Santa photo! Hallelujah!
Little Buddy had wonderful time with Santa at school too!
Little Buddy loved snow day at school! Sledding was a great prep for our Utah Christmas extravaganza!
Church before we left for our Christmas trip. Glad to give thanks for all we are blessed with.
Santa came!
Very happy with his new golf clubs and dog guitar!
Look who got a new trampoline from Santa! Daddy just needs to put it together!
And then it was time to keep the kids occupied for the rest of Winter Break! Ay yi yi! It felt like the longest Winter Break in history, but we survived!
Super strong at the park!
Moving our muscles more at My Gym!
Extra fun experience...going to the ice skating rink for the first time!
We also got to experience Sensory Sunday at Chuck E Cheese. We've been trying to go for months but finally made it. What a wonderful time!
Getting some laps in (and burning off some energy) for Run Club!
Height and Weight
Weighing in at a solid 70 pounds tonight and still just over 53 inches tall!
Personality
Happy and excited about everything!
Can't get enough of this smile!
Developmental Changes
Besides showing off all his strong physical skills through skiing in Utah and playing at the playground and at My Gym, we've loved having a talkative little boy lately. He's also been very attentive and loving and we are enjoying all the "big hugs" he loves to give! His sister sometimes even tolerates them!
Forceful sibling hugs!
They do love each other!
We did have a hard moment this past month. We had to replace our cable box and that meant re-recording all the news spots that have been aired on Little Buddy before we lost them with the box switch. It was definitely hard to see how much speech and attention he's lost in two years but we continue to try to focus on what he CAN do as opposed to what he cannot.
We love you and will fight for you forever, sweet boy.
Fun Tidbits
Little Buddy is coming into a big year for his faith...he has his First Reconciliation and First Eucharist this year. As part of his faith formation, he had to do a community service project, so we collected clothing from family and friends to donate. We just want him to experience as much of his faith as he can!
Turning in his donations!
Working on his poster showcasing his project!
And now it's time to rest. Can't get enough of this beautiful boy and hope we have another great year together.
He's perfect.
Good night,
LBM
Little Buddy's Momma
