Merry Christmas!!!

Thanks for the present, Solomon! Tastes good too... (you were right!!)

Cool new exersaucer! Thanks Farfar!!

Best toy yet... the newspaper!

Fancy new slippers from Uncle Neil and Aunty Jackie, thanks! Might need to wait 'til my feet lose their blockish shape to really get into them though. =)

Dida and me...


You can also check out more Christmas fun with the Andersen families on Nana's website. There's a great video of Graye's newest talent... raspberries!

Awww Mom!! Do I HAVE to wear this?

"....if you do Santa will see what a good boy you're being!!"

Yummers!

We decided to try Graye out on some rice cereal in the hopes that he might sleep a little better through the night. Unfortunately it backfired, he was up every hour with a gassy belly. Guess he's not quite ready to give us back our nights! He didn't really mind it while he was eating though! I just had to be ready to catch everything that got spit back out...

Random Cuteness

Graye has taken to resting his foot on the table part of his highchair while hanging out in it. Hope that's not a sign of eating habits to come! Maybe he is taking more notice of what Ryan and I do than we thought! JUST KIDDING Baba and Nana!!


Just a cute picture of Milo (our first and now most neglected baby - if you believe him!) hanging out in the sun, always with his ball!

Thank You Grandma BC!!!

Wendy sent Graye a big package that Graye HAD to open right away. He doesn't have much patience when it comes to presents. =)

We were concerned that the clothes might not fit him for too long (i.e. Wendy... "I HOPE they fit!") so we opened those gifts too. Looks like he'll be able to use them for a while!! Though we might need to wait a year or 2 to start! Everything is fantastic though. Graye will be the coolest kid on the block. =)

Graye was also anxious to try out his new wheels! Still needs a bit of help with it, but it won't be long before he's zooming around, destroying the house. (THANKS Wendy! hehe) It actually goes from a rocker to a push bike to a ride around bike... we might leave it in the "rocker" position for a while. =)

Setting up the tree!

Seems like we are super late getting Christmas going here. We finally set up our tree last week, about 2 weeks later than we would normally do it! But it is quite nice, as long as you don't look at the back... I think there is a total of about 3 branches back there!! Ahhh well. Graye helped untangle the beads... or maybe it was the other way around since the red ones never made it on the tree!

Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Our family started a tradition quite a few years ago of giving a Christmas decoration to one of the other family members (we draw names) for St. Nicholas Day. This was Graye's first shot at it (obviously!) and he did pretty good!


Ryan drew Ken's name and this is what he made for him - pretty good hey? I think Graye would like one of his own!

It worked!

I guess Graye's smarty toy is working... already reading! Crunchy paper to read off of is best though...


...or his favourite book from his cousins. Although admittedly it doesn't have any words in it. He gets the idea!

Too Fast!

Today Graye is 20 weeks old. AHHHH! In January he will be 6 months old - half my year off will already be gone! And Graye will be half a year old! Holy goodness does time fly... guess I was warned about that though!

I can FEEL my brain getting bigger!

Friends of Aunty Dionne's gave Graye this toy to play with. It's supposed to make him smarter. He does like to put the little bally ends in his mouth... is that a smart thing to do? =)

Milo in the background pouting because I can't take him out to play in the snow. A little cold today to bring the monkey out with us! So he has to wait.
