Sitting With Santa

He looks a little worried huh? Well, he didn't cry. Of course, the first thing he did was go for the beard.

This will be Ocean's first Christmas and our first Christmas as one little happy family. We are having so much fun with all of the milestones that seem to happen with each minute. Again, his first word was Momma (of course) and he has even started saying Da da. He knows quite a few words in sign language and he understands some words in Spanish too.

He still doesn't want to crawl but that doesn't stop him from getting to where he wants to go. He's a sidewinder and it cracks me up to watch him crawl backwards.

At just over 8 months old now he's developed quite a preference in music. Anytime he hears a tune he likes or recognizes he rocks out to it by rocking back and forth, bopping his head up and down, and waving his arms about. He's recently started to wave and point, especially when he wants Mommy's attention. And here lately, when he is sleeping, he dreams of sugar plums.
