1st Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas with our little man. He hardly slept all day because he didn't want to miss a thing. What a joy that we were able to celebrate with our son, but overall to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas when Christ was born!

Since Josh was off work yesterday we took some fun pictures for his 1st christmas! Too bad I didn't do it earlier for our christmas card. Here are some pictures..

2 month stats

Canaan went last week for his 2 month check up. He weighs 10 lbs 1 oz and is 22 3/4 inches long. He got his first round of shots and did really good, mommy might have cried more then him. He is smiling ALL the time. Every time you say smile he does it!! I just love watching him grow!

2 months

My little guy is two months old! I have loved every minute with him! He has started to be more awake in the day and just loves to smile and chat! He is more alert and recognizes people's voices and tries to find them! I love waking up in the morning to get him out of bed and I say "good morning Canaan" and all I get is a big huge smile! He just melts my heart!

Our friends Ryan and Lizz Heimann and their son Benjamin came for a visit over thanksgiving while they were here visiting family. Ben was born 3 weeks before Canaan and this is the first time they have got to meet each other! They had a great time!:)

thanksgiving

So thankful....I cannot thank God enough for our little bundle of joy! We had a wonderful thanksgiving starting with my family and then heading to be with Josh's family. It was a nice and relaxing day! Here are some pictures from our day.

one month

Today Canaan is a month old. How fast that month went. What a joy he has been! I am loving every moment, even in the middle of the night when I want to keep sleeping. He is getting up around every 4 hours to eat, so really I can't complain it could be worse. It has been interesting adjusting to having him home. Just this past week he has really perked up and been looking around more, and he is getting good head control. It's fun watching him.

We have been blessed with a wonderful church family that has provided meals for us the past month. I'm so thankful for that time away from cooking and I'm so not ready to start cooking again LOL. I asked Josh before I stopped working "what is one thing you want to have done when you get home?" I would think that he would have said have the house picked up, but he didn't all he said was "I want one crock pot meal a week!" Really I think I can do that, so now i'm researching crock pot meals!

Here are a few more pictures of our little man..
