Winter Fun!

Dear Teagan:
Your first Christmas was fantastic! You got so many new presents- mostly toys that you can't play with yet! You're getting the hang of them now though. Daddy and I got engaged, so I will finally get the same last name as you! And when we get married next fall, you should be walking and you will be our ring bearer! And what a cute ring bearer you will be!
Christmas Eve & New Years Eve I had the day off, so we got to spend some extra time together! That was fun! Then starting this past Monday, Daddy has been home with you! He got laid off, so you and him get to hang out everyday! I'm so jealous of him for it, but also very glad you guys get to have some quality time together!
You're still boycotting sleep, but I think I may have found the reason to it. All week Daddy has been feeding you 5 ounce bottles and says you've been eating the whole thing, so today I told Aunt Erin to try giving you 6 ounces and sure enough, you ate the whole thing. So maybe the reason you have been getting up at night is because you were hungry since you weren't getting enough during the day! I hope this is the reasoning anyway, or else I might go crazy. Last night you were up 3 times! You ate twice and one of the times I just gave you your binky because I'd really like to break the habit of you getting up every night to eat!
I love daddy being home with you. He cleans and organizes and gets lots done while I work. So that means I get to spend more time with you when I get home from work! I bought you a new jumperoo the other day and you love it! It has way more toys around it than the one we borrowed from grandma has. So you will never get bored with it!
Although Daddy is home everyday now (for at least a few weeks) Aunt Erin still will be watching you on Fridays. She likes to spend time with you and Grandma likes to see you in the morning when I drop you off. Also, Daddy deserves a day to himself to do what he wants to do. He'd like to have time to go ice fishiing and coyote hunting. When you get older you'll be able to do these things with daddy too! Although I've never been ice fishing because I'm scared the ice will break, so I probably won't be letting you go for quite some time. We'll see.
OOOH! You rolled over the other day!! You've rolled before, but I think it was by default since it was on the couch and the cushions slant that way. But you rolled from belly to back. Daddy said he started clapping and saying yay and you were confused! You also scoot backwards when we lay you on your belly. You will be mobile soon!! It's bittersweet. You now weigh 14 pounds and 3 ounces. You've gained over 2 pounds in the past month! It's crazy! You're growing up sooo fast! I can't even take it!
I love you to the moon and back little man!
Love,
Mommy
