Here is a video from Jamison's first Christmas. He received a Jumperoo and he absolutely loved it. He also got a holiday Elmo and many other toys from family.
On Christmas eve we did venture out to Great Grandma Thelma's where we had chili and chicken noodle soup and opened up gifts. On Christmas day we stayed home due to the weather. We had a great time opening up gifts and playing with our gifts. I was glad that I went out and bought a roast as plan B in case the weather got bad. So we had a big breakfast in the morning and then a road with all the fixings for supper. It was fun to watch the snow come down. We had a record of 8 inches of snow just that day...20 inches of snow with the whole storm. We celebrated our Gould Christmas yesterday and we had such a great time! We missed seeing everyone Christmas day. This week my family is coming in and we will be celebrating our family Christmas on New Year's Eve. I am so glad we planned it that way because now everyone should be able to make it in this week.

There are a ton of pictures on our flicker website. Here is the link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/

I hope everyone that reads this blog had a Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year's!

Jamison's first experience with rice cereal

Last Monday Jamison had his 4 month appt and Dr Brenner told us that he is able to get rice cereal now so we started him on it last Monday and the video shows his first experience with it. He has been doing well with it so far. I think it might take awhile for him to get used to it!

We also found out at his appt that he is 11 lbs and 15 oz. and 23 3/4 inches long. The doctor said that he is between the 10th and 25th percentile. I had wondered if he was too small but the doctor said that he has been growing on the same percentile curve. She also said that babies that run smaller will be more physicall developed. So I guess there isn't anything to worry about. He also got his 4 month shots and it wasn't as hard this time as it was last time.

Jamison has been smiling a lot more and laughing. It is so much fun to watch hime grow! He rolls over on his side a lot now. When we walk in to his nursery in the morning, it seems like he is always on his side or has moved some way or another. He holds his head up all the time now and is trying to sit up. Well his next appt is in 2 months and then we will start him on solids. I am super excited for solids! For Christmas Roxanne got us a steamer/defroster/puree so we can make our own baby food. We are super excited to try it out! Thanks grandma!

This is one of our pictures from decorating the Christmas tree. We went out and got a real 9 foot Christmas tree. We are having my family Christmas at our house over New Year's. This week we are having our own Christmas at our house in the morning then going to Andy's parent's house and then Andy's Grandma's house. On Christmas Eve we are going to church and then over to Andy's other grandma's house. It will be a busy week!

Tomorrow Jamison gets his 4 month shots so hopefully it goes well. Last time I cried so I hope it is better this time. In other news Jamison has been using his hands a lot more now. He can bring them together and grab things. He also loves to "stand up". He also loves to "talk". Sometimes in the evenings he can chatter for hours! It is so cute.

Well I am sure we will post some pics from the holidays. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's!
