December

So, new template here. I like this layout better.

Brian is doing well. He has almost outgrown the 6 month size sleepers (He only has 3/4 in. to go before that happens). He is sleeping through the night now. We did not (nor was it ever recommended to us) have to let him "cry it out" and ignore him for a night to get him to sleep through the night. He is currently eating either 24 oz. or 30 oz. of formula a day (just depends on the day). He is not on cereal and will not be until he is six months old (in January). He rolls to his side now, "talks" to get your attention, has favorite toys, and grasps toys really well. He sings. He turns himself around completely in the crib. 360 degrees. He tries to help you hold his bottle when you feed him. He is teething. We can see teeth up in his gums. Nothing has broken through yet. His eyes are still blue. His hair is darker rather than lighter blonde. It has reddish highlights (like his mom). He loves the Christmas tree. He has grabbed Biscuit twice.

The weather here is yucky. Ice storms and snow together. It is currently raining. It looks like (so far) we will have a white Christmas. Somewhat of a rarity here to actually have snow on Christmas. Usually it is rainy and cold with ice. Back when I was little, we had snowy Christmases, but the recent years not so many. We were usually in Florida for Christmas, but flying was almost always difficult with all the ice storms. I spent part of the morning chipping ice/slush at the end of the driveway.
