Christmas with the Brummers!

This year we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with Aaron's parents and his sister and brother-in-law. We have had a really great time with them, and Wyatt has been able to spend lots of time playing and getting to know his Aunt Rachael and Uncle Justin! Wyatt really got into tearing and playing with the wrapping paper this year - he pitched a fit when I took the wrapping paper away and gave him the present! It was pretty funny...

Aunt Rachael let us see what Wyatt would look like with a brown toupee... Hmm... more like a combover I guess... :)


Wyatt says "Merry Christmas!" What a big boy sitting up! This is only half the story - there's another picture of him falling over backwards. He wasn't very happy about that. No worries - he got over it. :)
Here's the White Chocolate Raspberry Torte that I made for Christmas Eve dinner. It turned out pretty good, though I could do better if I made it again. The frosting was not as smooth as it could be, and I figured out why. The white chocolate that I melted was warmer than the cream cheese, so it some of the white chocolate solidified when it shouldn't have... It was still tasty!


On Christmas Eve, Aaron, Wyatt and I opened presents at our house. We didn't go too crazy this year as Wyatt really won't care, but we did wrap up a present for him to open. He really liked it!

We got him a toy that suction-cups to his high chair. I had no idea when I bought it that it plays music - Surprise! :)


Anyway, Wyatt ate a jar of peaches between last night and tonight. Hurray! I think he is really starting to get interested in food. Last night he woke up around 5:15 to eat - I had to give him the pacifier around 12 am, but other than that, it was a good night! I'm hoping that the solid foods are going to help him sleep better at night. And... I unsnapped all of the snaps on his cloth diaper for overnight - it's crazy how much he is growing! I weighed him unofficially on the bathroom scale the other day, and I think he weighs around 18 pounds!
