Christmas Time!

My poor Remy was sick over Christmas – puking all over the place.  But did that slow him down?  Nope.  He was still going a million miles per hour.  Well, maybe he slowed down a little… but not much.  He was still a happy camper despite the ugly bug he had.  Last year he obviously didn’t participate in opening presents, he was only 12 weeks old.  But this year he loved opening the presents!!  It was so cute.  It didn’t take him long to realize that ripping wrapping paper off something meant there was something fun inside.  Remy got lots of fun things this year from “Santa”, momma and daddy, his grandmas, aunties & uncles, etc.  His favorite seems to be his new batman mobile and his elephant that blows balls out of his trunk.  He is one lucky kid to have so much love surrounding him!  I of course neglected to take many photos.  I always regret that… Here's a few that I took.

1st Birthday Party

Remy’s 1^st birthday party was on Saturday!  He doesn’t turn 1 until Oct 2^nd but that’s on a Wednesday so we had his party a few days early.  It took me all day Friday and Saturday to get ready for it but it was a success.  I was expecting 40 people but some of our family is flakey so some didn’t show (which I already knew would happen).  But I was happy with the outcome.  We had plenty of food to go around.  I sure appreciate everyone who came and who helped out with chairs, tables, crock pots, food, etc.  I sure have some awesome family and friends!  ;)  Remy sure scored on the gifts!  He’s one lucky little boy!  He even got to meet his great grandpa on my mom’s side who he’s never met before.  I didn’t take many pics, I’m forgetful like that and always regret it.  But here are a few…

The kids loved the balloons.  Remy kept trying to bite them.  I'm very surprised he didn't end up with one popping in his face.

 

He did seem to enjoy opening his own presents.  :)

Not a very good family pic but the only one we got!

He was more interested in rubbing the frosting all over his tummy and boobs than eating it.

But after a slow start he realized it was yummy.  :)

And I think we have a new favorite toy!

Phil and I will celebrate his real birthday on Wednesday and give him our present then.  Can’t wait!  I know he’s too little to understand it but its still fun.  :)
