Marie has quite a Christmas ahead of her. All her family and friends have been getting presents for her like mad. Only one problem. It’s 2pm, and she’s opened her stocking and two presents. This might take a while.
Then again, Brian hasn’t opened a thing…
Tuesday night, Marie and Brian were both feeling badly, they are fighting off a bit of a cold. Sometime around 3am, Marie came into our room and got into our bed. (This is normally less effort than bringing her back to her room.) Then, around 3:30, she pushed me off my pillow. So, it was time to go back to her room. Returned her, she cried, woke up Brian. Brian cried, then was calmed by Mom. Then Marie got up again. Then back to bed, then cried, then woke up Brian, etc… The process repeated until about 6am. Ouch.
Our little Brian is growing so fast! At his checkup today, he weighed 18 pounds 10 ounces and was 27 inches tall. Or, long I guess. He is happy and healthy!
We had a good turnout for our “caroling party”:http://www.evite.com/pmhesse@geminisecurity.com/carolingparty8 tonight. Marie got to eat lots of cookies, icing, candy, and… went to bed at 11:30pm. Her normal bedtime is 8pm. This does not bode well for tomorrow…
Hi everyone… I thought it would be neat to put this website address on our Christmas cards, so that you all would be able to check out the daily goings-on, as well as see “recent photos”:http://hessekids.com/gallery2. I sent out the (90+) cards this afternoon, so I’m expecting we’ll get a few visitors soon! Click ‘comment’ below and leave a note to let us know you visited!
Marie and Brian both are fighting a cold. Soon, mom and dad will be as well. Yecch.
Well, it finally happened. They are both asleep. It’s 2 hours past bedtime, though. Yikes! It’s so hard to know sometimes, even when they can talk, what they want and need. The good news is that they are both settled and happy and are sleeping peacefully.
Brian had his first meal of “solid” food today. It’s in quotes because if you’ve ever seen infant rice cereal, the texture seems far from what we’d call solid. Anyway, he ate it like a champ. Devoured more like it. Check the photo gallery for some pictures!
It’s snowing! Really. Both kids are asleep. Really!
Marie *loves* to wash her hands. Tonight, during Brian’s bath, Marie washed her hands constantly for about 10 minutes. This isn’t the first time she’s spent some serious quality time with soap and water. Is it OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)? Am I overreacting about the fact that Marie loves to play with water?
