On another note... we had a great Christmas and great New Years!
We went to visit our family for Christmas and had an Italian Christmas at my Uncle's house. We ate entirely too much, but it was wonderful! My favorite present was the ipad Ryan got me! I have been obsessed with it... to say the least! Lol. Colin got waay more presents than he needs, but he has been enjoying them!! We put a bunch of presents he doesn't play with often or that he got for his birthday away in a big box... so he can focus on his Christmas presents and so our living room isn't as overwhelmed! :) We will switch them out when he gets tired of his new presents!
Our New Years was great... we actually went on our second date since becoming parents! It was rather spontaneous. I just decided I'd ask the neighbor girl if she was free for a few hours and she was! (SCORE!) We were just going to go out to dinner... but Ryan wanted to go to the casino. I am proud to say I doubled my money. But the truth is I only play with 20 bucks! Ha! :) I love playing the roulette table because I can play with 20 bucks for a good hour and usually walk away even. I was TRYING to lose so we could leave and I hit big, winning 40 bucks! :) Then I cashed out and we went home! Ryan did really well on the slots while I was running the tables too... so we both came out on top and had a lot of fun!
I've decided to make reasonable New Years Resolutions this year. Instead of ones that I will likely break a few weeks/months into the year. So this year I want to:
- Go on more dates with my husband.
- Get Colin to sleep better.
- Get back into the 120's with my weight. (I am close... a few pounds off... so I SHOULD be able to accomplish it... I hope! Lol)
Colin has been really funny lately. He finally learned to clap. He makes this cute sign with his hands when you say no more or all gone! He is babbling like crazy and makes everyone laugh when he does it. He does a booty dance... which is really cute. Lol What else? I switched him to size 4 diapers finally! We've been in 3's forever! And he wore his first 18 month outfit today! Oh yes and he has been cleaning for me... if you give him a wipe or a paper towel he will find something to wipe up with it... his favorite is spitting and wiping it up... total boy! He also has been following directions very well. If I ask him to get me something or do something 9/10 times he will do it! Which is really neat. Today, he put his truck in the drier and shut the door and then came to get me, pointing towards to drier! Always keeps me on my toys, that boy!
He has been falling asleep in his crib and he will stay there 3 or 4 hours every night... even when we were visiting family over the holidays he did it! Yay!
Hope you all are well in this New Year and 2013 blesses beyond belief! Stay tuned for our big news!
