Since Carmen and I won't be in SoCal for actual Christmas day, we had our own Christmas celebration last night with Jayden. It was short and sweet, since it was just about Jayden's bedtime. We danced to some Christmas music and opened the two (tiny) gifts that Carmen and I got Jayden. Since he's so young and since he has so many other people buying him things, Carmen and I decided it wasn't necessary for us to do much for him this year. In the future, when he's more aware, we'll get him more things - but even then, we'll probably try to hold back so that he doesn't get completely spoiled!
Jayden also had a few gifts from friends, in particular a very cool book from his friend-to-be (when Jayden's older and their 1 year age difference doesn't matter so much) Kian Vakili:
As with most things these days, the book went straight into his mouth, but we're pretty sure that means he loved it!
Mommy and Daddy got him some cold weather gear and some warm weather gear - a hat and jacket for cold weather and the coolest baby sunglasses for our walks with Jasmine!
Jayden also went with Mommy to meet her friend Shilpa and her daughter - who is two weeks younger than Jayden but looks about half his size. She weighed two pounds less than Jayden at birth and you can totally tell! After that, Jayden and Mommy went to PLC's holiday party. It was pretty loud in there and that wasn't so fun for Jayden, but he got all kinds of love and eventually fell asleep so Mommy could scarf down her lunch. It was nice to be part of the office again, but scary to think that I'll be back there in less than two weeks, and not with Jayden this time!
Tomorrow we leave for Seattle; I'm not sure how we're going to get all of us and our luggage (suitcases, stroller, carseat, carry-ons, etc.) on the airplane, but we'll do our best. At least we don't have to buy a ticket for Jayden yet, so that's one less expense. It'll be a short trip to Seattle, but good to see family and friends. I may not be able to post again until we get back on the 27th, so we hope everyone has a very happy holiday!
