[All Done]
[Licking the bowl clean . . . ]
[. . . and just licking the bowl.]
[oops! A dropped bowl is fair game for the cat!]

Messy boy!
Can you believe I let him do this? He was already covered in oatmeal and kept reaching for the bowl when I was feeding him, so I thought why not? After he dropped the bowl on the floor the fun was over,Taki pounced on the bowl and licked the rest of it up!

Stratton eating (or spitting, I should say) his cereal
He has picked up a bad habit of spitting, I hope it's just a phase. It was funny at first, but one can only take so much oatmeal being spit at them before it gets annoying. We try not to laugh so that we don't encourage him, but wow, it's so funny it's hard not to!

Christmas day. . . and the weekend.
We went to my Nanny & Papa's house for Christmas with the Gibson side of the family at lunch on Christmas day. Stratton got lots of fun new toys!
[Yeah, he's learned to pull hair, watch out!]
After we spent the afternoon with the Gibson's we went back to my mom and dad's for a little while longer. Mom made us some burgers (we were tired of turkey) and we left their house around 8pm. . . .without Stratton!
My mom bought him this little stuffed bear at Bass Pro Shop in Springfield and he seems to love it. He will just play with it and chew on it and suck on it's ears? Who knew a $7 bear with a camo bandana would be his favorite toy? For the moment anyway!
We had a nice laid back child-free weekend! Saturday after sleeping in and going through the MOUNTAIN of christmas presents We went to the mall to return some stuff and did a little shopping without a stroller! Then we went to Colton's to eat and then to the movies (the 10pm show!) and it was past midnight before we got home! I cannot remember the last time we have been out that late! It was nice to have some us time, especially since it seems like we have been running non-stop lately! Mom and dad brought Stratton back to us Monday and mom and I went and got a mani/pedi while my dad stayed and watched Stratton, (My new fav color is "yoga-ta get this blue"). Then when Jarrod got off work we went to Shorty Smalls to eat supper. It was the first time we took him with the Bumbo seat instead of the carseat carrier and it worked out pretty good!
I am off work this week! So, I will be at home doing laundry and hopefully sleeping in and taking a few naps! That is what you are supposed to do on vacation, right?

Stratton's 1st Christmas Morning!
We got up around 8am and gave Stratton his Santa presents. He was in good mood and sat in his bumbo seat for quite a while! Santa brought Stratton a monkey bottle pet and a new camo lovey blanket! He wasn't sure about the bottle pet at first! Santa also left him his first stocking filled with lots of goodies!
[wow, santa brought me a hairbrush! I love it so much I think I will eat it!]
Then before he got too tired and fussy we put him in his Santa suit and tried to take a few pics, but he was really tired and we didn't get many good ones!
[the hat was really small, I am pretty sure it wouldn't have fit a newborn it was so tiny!!]
Dillon and Brandye came by mom and dads for about an hour so we could exchange gifts with them. Unfortunately, by the time they got there Stratton was ready for a nap and he slept most of the time they were there!

Christmas eve continued. . .
We decided to stay the night with my mom and dad Christmas eve since we have lunch at my Nanny & Papa's house in Hickory Ridge on Christmas day and those of you with kids know how difficult it is to load up and get somewhere on time with ALL the stuff you have to bring for just one day. . .so we avoided the hassle and just stayed. And after all the rain I was glad we did! It looked like the roads would have been a little scary in the dark!
When we got back to my parents house, from my grandparents house, Jarrod and I decided to go ahead and do our christmas gifts to each other and to Stratton.
We did good this year, it's usually a chore to shop for each other but both of us managed to find things the other wanted or needed this year, and almost all of it we kept secret! Jarrod got a new dvd player, under armour base layer pants and shirt, a new beard trimmer and a plaid polo shirt. . .he also got a new pair of waders but Santa brought them to the house last Sunday so that Jarrod could duck hunt in them this past week! Stratton got clothes. . . not much fun, but we left the toys to the grandparents and the rest of the family! And I got a new pink nightgown, a 16 GB jumpdrive, and AUTO START for my car (I am getting it installed next week, yay!!) and my favorite. . . .
. . . . a custom handmade necklace with Stratton's name and birth date, it is absolutely gorgeous!! I saw this necklace in a magazine several months ago (like before we even had Stratton) and showed it to Jarrod, I didn't think he was paying attention, but I guess I was wrong! I love that it is one of a kind, and if we have more kids he can add their names later!
