December has flown by so fast!  We've been busy wrapping present, baking cookies, and watching Christmas movies.  Trey has been really good about the Christmas tree this year... only touches the ornaments every now and then (and has only broke one).  He loves all the Christmas lights people have put out on their homes especially.  When we are driving around at night we hear him say, "Ohhhh Cis-mas ights!  Soo pretty!" (yes, pronounced like that too).  It's really cute!  He loves to sing Jingle Bells and Silent Night and he's pretty good at it too!  In fact, singing has been one of the new fun things that Trey has been doing lately.  He makes up his own songs alot, but his favorites to sing are "Jesus Loves Me", "Winnie the Pooh" and "Jingle Bells".  The other day I heard him singing almost all the words to "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" from the Lion King movie (his new favorite movie).  He has an crazy memory... and he definitely didn't get that from me! 

Ethan's personality is really starting to come out now!  He makes all these cute little squeals and grunts and coos.  When he is mad or hungry, you know it.  He doesn't cry, he just makes angry grunting sounds... our little piggy:-)  But most of the time Ethan is just a really happy, laid back baby.  He doesn't cry much.  He eats every 3-4 hours and will go 6-7 hrs of sleep each night too.  If his stomach is full, he just will lay around on his play mat and tackle his toys.  He loves to sit in our laps and talk to us and smile... loves to watch TV too.  We loves people!  He loves to watch us eat.  He seems to really want to move around on his own now too... which makes me think that maybe he will crawl early.  He did already roll from his stomach to his back too once!  He is trying REALLY hard to roll the other way now as well.

Pj is home for two weeks on his school break right now and we've been busy painting (yes, even though the stomach flu seems to be going around our home)... which we've been meaning to do for over a year now but just haven't had time or energy.  Its amazing how a fresh coat of paint can make our house look so much nicer!  We plan this weekend on spending Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Pj's family and then on Monday driving down to the beach house in Corolla for a week of relaxation.  We're so thankful for this break!  Trey has especially been enjoying all the Daddy time!!  That's it for now:-)  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all:-)
