Family, Friends, & Food

What a wonderful Christmas Holiday season we have had to date! The best part is that Alistair decided it was time to move forward on his progress. Yeppers best Christmas present ever. The last week Alistair has not stopped talking, plus he is just that much more alert to his surroundings.

It made Christmas that much more enjoyable for us just to beable to snuggle up to him and have a giggle come out of him or to have him chirp away at us. I bought these balls on MasterMind Toys and he just loves them. I highly recommend them. O yes and as you can see I "tormented" Alistair (as Jason would say) by putting him in these little felt elf shoes i found at a local store.

This is one of our most common sites around the house now. Alistair still needs assistance but its minimal in regards to sitting. As you can see i'm just applying a tad of pressure with my leg to his hip and it gives him enough reassurance to stay upright. Over the holidays he sat for at least 2 minutes totally unsupported. Another happy moment for us.

My buddy Colleen came back from Calgary for the holidays. Alistair got a ton of attention from everyone that stopped by and were thinking this helped his progression as well.

Hayley "Bailey" came down with her parents from Taylor, B.C. as well and had fun educating my mom on paper dolls.

Alistair's Muscle Shirt from Nana. I did a 11pm to 7 am shift in Emerg and came home and got people motivated for Christmas. The motivation lady had a noon snooze later on.

O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree

So there you have it! Christmas in a nut shell was all about family friends and food. I'm sure we've all put on a good five pounds but happily did so. I did have great intentions of sending out Christmas Cards as I absolutely love receiving them. However, the cards are still nicely packaged ready to be used for next year! LOL So thank you all for the wonderful pictures and cards. All the pics are plastered all over the fridge door. Have a wonderful and safe New Years and we'll chat again soon.

Love Julie, Jason & Alistair

Enjoy the two videos! Unfortunately the are a little on the dark side but cute all the same! : D
