First Christmas

Lawry's first Christmas came and went so fast. Overall, it was awesome. We went to eat dinner at my mother's Christmas Eve. She gave Lawry a rocking chair (to match my first Christmas gift). He just sat in it like a little prince. He is real grabby, grabby right now, so he grabbed the cushions and hand rails while rocking himself. He was quite pleased.

We woke up early Christmas morning. My dad was visiting and staying with us. He, my brother, and my very pregnant sister-in-law came over to celebrate Lawry's first with us. Lawry sat in his rocking chair and helped Andrew and I open all his gifts. The thing he reacted to the most was the big blue ribbon that was wrapped around one of his presents. In the mouth with it for the rest of the morning. Why did Andrew and I fret over his gifts and spend a bunch of money? Blue ribbons, plastic bags, and water bottles are the best!



Seriously though, we gave him a bunch of wooden toys and tried the best we could to avoid plastic toys from China. He really likes the texture of the wooden toys. He bangs them together and has a grand ole time. However, this weekend, we totally bought him two loud plastic toys made in China. He likes to push the buttons that make noises.
