Malachi,

December is another busy month, but you got to celebrate your first Christmas and New Years! You played Baby Jesus at church for the nativity. You were the biggest baby Jesus there ever was! :) You also met Santa and we can all say you were NOT his biggest fan. Dominick never ever cried, but you SCREAMED! You also got to experience snow for the first time and I don't think you really cared much for that either. On Christmas Eve we spent the afternoon at Urgent Care because you had another ear infection that caused you to have "pink eye" again. That night we went to the Christmas Eve service at church since you weren't contagious and you got sick from your medicine. You threw up ALLLLL over yourself, me, the floor and Daddy. We had to leave early.




You are SO active, but you still feel most confident crawling. You are starting to take a couple steps here and there, but not consistent enough to call you a walker. If you think we are going to get you, you will try to crawl away at lightening speed.




You are much more timid and nervous than Dominick ever was, but that's NOT a bad thing.


During meal time you always put your sippy cup right onto your plate and eat around it. Some of your favorite foods are applesauce, yogurt, cooked carrots, fruit and macaroni and cheese. I also mentioned above that you started getting 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 breast milk above. We are really going to start weaning you this month so you can be all done by the time you turn ONE! I can't believe my breastfeeding journey is going to an end.

You think Dominick is by far the funniest person ever.




You can wave and sign all done. You say Momma and Dada. You fake laugh all the time and you have a really big scrunch face smile when you're being silly. It's the cutest! You love to get peoples attention by yelling at them.




You are such a great baby and for the most part very easy going. You are such a sweet thing and so incredibly happy. We all just think you hung the moon. We love you more than you'll ever know and think you are so extraordinary! I'm so thankful for these past 11 months and cannot even fathom what life would be like if we never had you. You fill our hearts with so much joy and love. I cannot wait to see what life has in store for you and I'm excited that I have a front row seat to watch. I love you so much, Sugar Bear!
