Peter's 1st Christmas

Peter's first Christmas was definitely low key so there's not a lot to share. His family had all already come and gone, but he was blessed with some cute clothes and fun toys! We got him a cookie monster teether/rattle and some fun learning rings though he really didn't need anything. This boy has been extremely blessed, we've hardly had to purchase anything! As he gets older we are going to desperately try to preserve the meaning of Christmas and hope that he doesn't just look forward to presents. Misty, if you're reading this, we love your idea of three gifts- one want, one need and one to further his relationship with God. I guess that's about it! I can't believe I'll be posting his two month update soon. He's already outgrown his newborn clothes:(

1 Month

Peter turned 1 month old on Monday. He weighed in at 9 lbs, 4 oz. He was slow to regain his birthweight so we were thrilled with his most recent weigh-in! Peter is already on a great nighttime schedule. He typically sleeps in three, 3-5 hour stretches. He wakes up to feed and goes right back to sleep! He's a pretty good daytime napper but has been spoiled by all the visiting family holding him all day long! His Oma and Opa (Jamie's parents) were here for Thanksgiving. Peter's stump came off on Thanksgiving day so Oma and Opa got to witness his first tub bath a few days later. Peter's Nanna and Poppa (Curtis' parents) were just here for a visit. Peter has been much more alert lately so they got to see a lot of those big beautiful eyes! Peter's relatives from Knoxville also came for a visit this past weekend. Turns out our house can hold 12 people AND two dogs! It was a lot of fun!
