Our Christmas Memories

New Tricks

Jamison has now started getting into everything! Even though he can't crawl yet, he is very crafty. I put him on the kitchen floor one day and found that he has figured out how to get into the drawers! So lately my time has been spent rearranging our kitchen.

He also likes to pull his arm out of his shirt so I have to keep dressing him!















We got Roxy and Ozzie fixed yesterday (I know they look hilarious with the cones on their heads, but it really is pretty sad.) Jamison loves to try and pull and pound on the cones, let's just say the dogs don't feel the same way!

Now for one of Dad's tricks. Mike was suppose to be watching Jamison, but when I walked in, this is what I found!

Thanksgiving

This was our first year hosting our own Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Mom and Dad D came down from Oregon and we had tons of fun. Mike cooked most of the food which was amazing. When the turkey first came out of the deep fryer I was a little concerned because it was black. Turns out it was just the dry rub and marinade that he had put on it, I promise it was NOT burned. We are still enjoying the leftovers. We went to a couple of stores on Friday, but didn't purchase much. Mike went golfing with his dad that afternoon while mom and I lounged around the house. Jamison had his first experience opening a Christmas present and he LOVED it. Mom and dad brought down a present for him from the Coffman's, our dear family friends! It was so much fun to watch him rip open the paper with his mouth and try to eat the wrapping. I'm sure he will be happier with the wrapping paper than the toys he is getting for Christmas! We miss you all and wish that we could have shared this great holiday together, but we hear that everyone had a fun time as well.

Ready or Not?

Well, even though he wants to, Jamison isn't quite ready to crawl yet. He gets frustrated when he can't get to where he wants to go, and he has only mastered scooting backwards. With a little coaxing he did get up on all fours last night, yay!! It's pretty funny to watch him kick and squirm and get nowhere!

Grandparent's Request

After putting the first video of Jamison on our blog, his grandparents have requested that we keep doing it so they can watch him grow! Here is a video of him in his jumperoo, he loves this thing!!

October Festivities

We visited Dave's Pumpkin Patch in early October and took some super cute pictures of Jamison. It was a pretty fun little place, but not as good as Apple Hill, which is where we got our pumpkin last year.

We had a great time at our ward's trunk-or-treat! Jamison dressed up as a little blue monster. He wasn't sure if he liked his dad's costume or not, but then when Mike took the mask off, Jamison started laughing.

Veggies

Over the past couple of weeks we've been feeding Jamison veggies. He seems to really like carrots, squash, peas, and sweet potatoes. I've tried for days to try and get him to eat his green beans, but he spits out more than he swallows, leaving me with a huge mess to clean up! So I decided to try and mix the beans with his sweet potatoes before I finally gave up on them. The idea worked, YAY!!
