Kelson's first Christmas

This year was definately different than any Christmas we've ever had for 2 reasons... 1- Severe Colds 2- Kelson

The weekend before Christmas, most of my family was in town.  We had a little party... we each got to open our gift from each other. (We draw names)  It was a good ole time, we talked, we laughed, we ate, and... well that's about all we did besides open gifts of course.
On Christmas Eve, I was super sick with the cold. Trevor went hunting most the day. In the evening we went to Trevor's parents house for some grub... and we enjoyed each others company.

Christmas morning, we slept in as late as Kelson would allow.  We got up around 7:30. I was still pretty sick, and Kelson was getting sicker...  Regardless, we had a fun time opening our gifts.  As usual Trevor spoiled me way too much... but I love it ;)  Although, I think Kelson got pretty spoiled too.  He mostly got clothes which is good, because that is what he needed.  He got some toys, and a blanket (that I actually made).  Trevor got some binoculars, bullets, and "That 70's Show" on DVD.  I got red boots, purse, gift card, and more.  It was a really great morning.

After we opened gifts, we made breakfast and went to visit my fam.  From Andrea's we headed to grandma and grandpa Barlow's.

Shortly after that we went to Trevor's family's house... The boys went hunting and me, Kelson, Miste, Brett, and Christy ate Christmas dinner and just hung out.  It almost seemed like any other Saturday.  But it was GREAT.

Unfortunately the day after Christmas I had to take Kelson to the instacare, where we waited for 2+ hours to be seen.  I took him mostly for his cough... but, turns out the doc couldn't do anything for that.  Although she thought he might have mild ear infections, so she put him on an antibiotic.  Poor guy... Teething, cold, and ear infections all at once.  Luckily we are doing much better now.  Still just waiting for teeth.

HOPE EVERYONE HAD VERY HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

HAPPY 2010!!!

5 months and a Christmas tree

Kelson is 5 months old today.  It is amazing how fast the time goes.  Kelson amazes me everyday with all the new stuff he learns. 
Things he is doing at 5 months:
~ smiling lots
~ rolling from front to back, and back to front
~ laughing
~ recognizes the bottle
~ holds the on to the bottle when he is being fed (can't quite hold it himself yet)
~ plays with his feet lots
~ holding on to his toys
~ sleeping between 8-11 hours at night
~ etc...

We went looking for a Christmas tree, and it was really cold, so we looked from the truck.  When we found one we liked... Trevor got out and cut it down, while Kelson and I waited in the warm truck.  It was fun even though it more like a drive than a tree hunt.
