Christmas Day

Christmas morning, Ray woke up and turned on the Yule Log on TV. It was so funny. We kept making jokes about how warm and toasty it was in front of the fire. Really we had the heater on so it did feel quite warm. he he. Bodhi looked so cute in his Christmas jammies. Bodhi really likes Christmas, especially all the lights! Everytime we would take him out, Bodhi would love to look at the lights. At home, we could not keep him away from the ornaments on the tree or the lights around the windows.


The afternoon was spent at my sister's house. My family all met there to open presents and have dinner together. Bodhi received lots of toys! Probably too many for a nine month old baby. But they are all so fun. Bodhi likes all of his new toys and has been enjoying playing with them.

Christmas Eve

We drove to Bakersfield on Christmas eve to spend the day with Ray's parents and his sister. We left L.A. at about 8:30a and got into town around 10:30a. Bodhi slept the whole way there! Wow! Bodhi received lots of presents including some books, a rocking horse, and a tonka truck scoot 'n scoop toy that he can push or ride. He had so much fun cruising around his grandparents' house, checking out all the Christmas decorations and spending time with his Grandparents and Auntie. We enjoyed a nice lunch and then headed home around 4pm. Bodhi slept another two hours on the whole way home! Double Wow!


Bodhi really likes his new toys!

9 months

Bodhi had his 9 month checkup this week. He weighs 15lbs 14oz and is 27 inches in length. He is doing well. He is crawling and cruising. He really loves standing and spends most of his day, standing and walking around holding onto furniture for support. Several times now he has let go and will stand without holding on to anything for a few seconds, before sitting down. He loves to eat Cheerios and will gobble all he is given in a matter of seconds! He has also tried a few other finger foods including pasta, cut up banana, and rice. Cheerios are definitely his favorite though. Recently he started taking his baths in the big tub! He kept trying to stand up in the little tub, so we decided it was time to move him into our bathtub. I think he likes the extra room although he still just wants to stand up.

visit with santa

We went to see Santa Claus. Bodhi was really good and just looked at Santa and then immediately started to pull on his beard. Santa was so nice, offering to hold Bodhi after the pics were taken so that I could choose the picture. The first set didn't quite turn out, so they took a few more and we were able to get a smile out of Bodhi. I'll post the pic with santa as soon as possible.
