Christmas 2008

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I thought I would share some photos of ours. We were very busy going from one place to another, but it was all worth it to see everyone. Grandma and Grandpa Boege came up from Minnesota and we enjoyed spending time with them. We also spent some time with the Boege side of the family as well as the Starmer side. We pretty much made the rounds. Hard to believe that 2009 is right around the corner. Next year at Christmas I will be the mother of a 13 month old... that seems so hard to believe.

Our First Family Photo

Tonight we went to our first of 6 Christmas celebrations. Bennett was a perfect angel (much to my surprise) and we even managed to snap this great photo. I'm sure it's one of many to come. Wish I would have had it a month ago because I would have made Christmas cards with it. Unfortunetley Christmas cards were not on my priority list this year. Hope all of you have a great holiday with your families.

Happy Holidays

Hello Everyone,

I just realized it's been FOREVER since I did a post so I thought I would jot down what's been going on with us which of course means baby. I need to remember to use this as designed which is a baby book of sorts. We'll Bennett has had a rough past week, but we are hopeful that things are getting better. We discovered that he had a food allergy and was having issues digesting his food which of course made him very unhappy. As of today Bennett is much happier throughout the day, but does get fussy at night. I have read over and over again that this is babies way of releasing fatigue from the day so I am hopeful that this fussy period will pass (quickly). Of course it's always at night around 5:00 and lasts usually until 9:00. Despite all our efforts we can't seem to please him much during this time. I've read that this should get better soon and usually peeks at 6 weeks (which Bennett will be on Christmas) and gets better and better eventually stopping around 12 weeks. It's very hard to deal with when you don't know what your son wants, but I am trying to just expect it and do the best I can. Other than that we are all doing well and we are excited to spend our first Christmas as a family. Hope all is well with you and your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
