Christmas and stuff.....

Hello to all! I hope everyone had a very blessed Christmas! I know we are so blessed to have Colin here with us this year. He did very well with everyone holding/passing him around. He went to see Santa and he did good, he really liked his fur coat!! He kept touching it!! our Christmas card is below along with lots of pictures! Colin is doing great he is growing way too fast. (I know I say that with every blog but it is so true) He can now hold his bottle as of today!!! He had been trying but hadn't yet been able to until today. He is holding his toys and chewing on everything! He loves the baby Guinness DVDs!!! he laughs at them and always smiles really big!!! I had to take him to the Dr. for what I thought was a cold but Dr. Ski said it was acid reflux. I was thinking no way, I was totally against him in the beginning. I did what the Dr. ordered decreasing food amount to 1/2 of what he is used to adding cereal to every bottle giving Zantac 2 x a day and what do you know snotty nose gone, spit up gone!!! I felt like a bad mother. I had no idea that he even had acid reflux. but he is better now and that is all that matters!!! anyway that is what is going on in our world. Matt and I are doing well. My last day at Baptist was today. It was very sad to leave, but I know it will be for the best. I start at the nursing home next week. Matt has been working a lot, but we aren't complaining we are just thankful we both have jobs right now with the economy the way it is!!! Hope everyone has a great new year and be safe!!!

Well it has been a while since I have last blogged. So what has been going on??? Colin is growing way to fast....He is recognizing his name now, trying to roll over, knows Matt and myself when he sees us or hears us! laughs out loud, loves his bouncy seat now, loves to look at the TV also he love the Christmas tree, we look at it every night and talk about the ornaments!
I have started back to work. It was very hard to leave him at daycare, however, I know he is being taken care of well. He smiles at his teachers every morning when I drop him off. Work has been going good, just really busy lately. I have found it is very hard to keep everything in order the way it needs to be at home, work and spend time with Matt and Colin. Matt and I decided that It would be best for me to work PRN (as needed) only. So Starting at the beginning of the year I will be working only a few days a week at trinity and the hospital if they need me. I am very excited about this so I will be able to spend more time with the family. I really love my job at the hospital, and I hate I am having to leave but I think it will be best for us as a family. So that has been what is going on in our neck of the woods! I sure hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
