We had such a fun day yesterday for Christmas. Eli let us sleep in until almost 6:30am - a nice treat to start the day. It was also nice to see that even though Tim ate all of Santa's cookies, he still left some gifts for Eli. We didn't go all out this year for Christmas - Eli would never know - but we did get him a few things. Eli got a Fisher Price learning table, some books, socks, sippie cups, a new puffy suit (that will hopefully fit), a Twilight Turtle, the Dangerous Book for Boys. I'm sure I forgot something. Several of the things were just as much for Tim or me than Eli at this point. The best gift was his big Rubber Ducky inflatable bath tub. We want to get him upstairs for bath time but don't want to put him in the huge tub. We hope to try that out tomorrow night.
Another "Eli highlight" of the day was feeding him cereal with a spoon for the first time. We did Rice cereal with bananas and he loved it. He's been watching us eat for a while now so he had no trouble knowing to open his mouth for the spoon. It was very cute.
The rest of the day was fairly relaxing. We hung out with our neighbors for a bit and then went to our friends Mike & Mary's house for Christmas dinner. We had lots of good food and hung out with them until Eli had a breakdown and was so tired from the day. We didn't have the heart to make him suffer through a bath when we got home so wash hands and face and it was off to bed.
Mommy was also pooped out and asleep on the couch by 9pm. And, like I said in an earlier post, this will probably be the most laid back Christmas now that Eli's here. But you know what....bring it on! The fun has only started with our little man. It gets us kinda "misty" to think about the future and all the cool things we'll get to teach him and show him. The whole world is new again - for him and us.
Hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas Day.
