It's that time of year that Kyle dislikes- Christmas music time. I, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoy Christmas music and take full advantage of it this time of year, driving him crazy :) To pass along my love for it, I have been teaching Reese some Christmas songs. Her favorite by far is Jingle Bells. Today at playgroup we had a Holiday party for the kids, and Reese was the first to chime in when asked what Christmas songs we should sing. And did we sing. I think we did Jingle Bells 4 or 5 times before the adults decided it was time to cut them off :)
We took the kids to see Santa on Saturday, and I wondered how Reese would do. Unexpectedly, she was VERY excited. She got right on Santa's lap and told him she wanted a baby doll and a cheetah (a real one, like the ones in her Ranger Rick magazine.) She may be disappointed when she doesn't get either. First, she has 6 or 7 baby dolls already, and our house is just not suitable for a real Cheetah. Hopefully she forgets what she asked for this year come time to open presents.
We began our Christmas celebration yesterday with the first of FOUR holiday get togethers! We had the Montgomery family Christmas and Reese had a great time running around with all her cousins. Preston was one of three babies there (and they were all born within 4 weeks of each other!) so there was plenty of "pass the baby" so everyone could get a squeeze :) The other two little ones are girls- giving Grandma Montgomery 12 great grand kids- 9 girls and only 3 boys. Preston is sure going to have to learn to hold his own!!
Dairy free diet is going ok. It was super tough yesterday when I didn't get to eat any of the yummy food. I had ham and a lettuce salad- boring! But, Preston's diaper this morning was MUCH better than normal (returning more to what a breastfed baby's should be like) so I think the dairy must be the factor. Luckily my mom is making her Christmas lunch all dairy free (for the most part) using butter substitutes and rice milk to cook with so I (and my niece Aubrey who has a diary sensitivity as well) can enjoy all the stuffing and casseroles along with everyone else. Thanks Mom!
