We've Been Busy & Santa!!!

Sorry it's been about a week since we've posted. Brent and I had our first Alexander milestone last week: we were away from him for 24-plus hours. It was definitely harder to think about leaving him than it was to actually be away from him. The anticipation of leaving him made me sad, but it was actually not as bad once we were gone. My sister, Kelsey, was done with finals and came to babysit for us. I'm thankful as she knows Alexander very well. She knows his patterns, what he likes, dislikes, etc. He was also coming done with a cold, so it made me feel better knowing that she would give him extra love for me!

Since then, we have been either busy or sick. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. Alexander still has his congestion and I feel so bad for him. He did get his first shower! We let the shower steam up real well and then Brent held him in the shower in hopes that it would help his congestion. It did for a few hours. We think he liked the shower too. I gave him another one today. :)

Our highlight of the last week was that Santa came to visit last night. We are so thankful that Santa wanted to come visit. We have such great pictures and will remember this always! It's so much fun to experience Christmas with Alexander around, compared to when it was just us. It is fun to read the Christmas stories to Alex and it's just fun to see his eyes light up when he sees the Christmas lights on our garland or on our tree.
