It feels very strange for Adrian and I to be sitting here all alone. Everyone is back at work today which means no visiting or visitors. Even Jamie is gone. We sure had a busy holiday season, lots of parties and visiting. It was great.
Adrian went to a New Year's Eve party and had a blast with all of his kids. We can't wait until he is running around with them too (although I must admit that looks like ALOT more work). New Year's Day we went to visit the Fairweathers where we learned that Adrian LOVES the Jolly Jumper. Adrian and Victoria couldn't get enough of it. Adrian has a very unique form of Jolly Jumping, he sort of looks like he's dancing a jig. It made for a good laugh for the parents! I have a feeling we are going to have to invest in one, if nothing more than for the laughs.
Adrian is trying to stand up a lot these days. I have a suspicion that he will be walking before he is crawling. He also has a strange little rash on his face... it has been suggested that he is teething.... I sure hope not! I would really missing his gummy little smile.

18 weeks - Baby's First Christmas
We are a little late with this update but it's been a very busy week and a half! Adrian officially turned 4 months old last week and had another successful doctor's appointment. He is almost 16lbs now.
Christmas was great and there was so much excitement. Christmas Eve we stayed at the Joneses house and celebrated by going to church and having homemade pizza. Christmas morning we opened a tonne of gifts and had brunch and then hopped in the truck and went to the Underhill's for round 2 of present opening. We had Christmas dinner with the Underhills and Slaneys and it was delicious. We had a wonderful Christmas and it is hard to believe it is over. I have a feeling Adrian is going to have problems going back to just Mommy and Daddy's attention after having so many admiring family members vying for his attention over the last few days.
Mommy and Daddy are celebrating New Year's Eve early this year and will be attempting a whole night out without the baby. Grammy and Grampy Underhill will be babysitting... let's hope that Adrian will take his bottle so we can stay out late with our friends!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and we'll see you in the New Year!!

17 weeks - so this is Christmas
We were awfully glad to have Daddy back from NFLD Friday night. Adrian even got to stay up late to see Daddy. We had a good week in Stickney and Adrian made his first trip to the USA with Grammy and Mommy to go shopping. He's an international traveler already.
Adrian is no longer sleeping through the night. I sort of figured it wouldn't stay. He is now up 1-2 times a night lately, which is much more manageable than every 2 hours like a month ago. However Mommy got used to her full nights of uninterrupted sleep and is a bit groggy these days.
Well it is hard to believe that next Monday is Christmas. We have lots of fun ahead of us the next week. We will be trying to get out to visit friends this week; hopefully we will catch some of you home. We will be spending Christmas Eve and morning with Grammy and Grampy Jones and then Christmas afternoon and Boxing Day with the Underhills and Slaneys. It should be fun!!
Safe travels to everyone and a very Merry Christmas. We hope you are all as blessed in the New Year as much as were in 2006!
P.S. Grampy Jones is in the hospital this week and we are wishing him a speedy recovery and sure hope he is home in time for Christmas.
P.P.S. Check out the pictures from Adrian's first professional photo shoot. The photographer agreed that he was well on his way to becoming a male model like Mommy said!

16 weeks - my first Christmas party
The holiday season is upon us and the Underhill-Jones family is having so much fun. Friday night Jamie and I went to my office Christmas party and left Adrian with Nanny Jones for the evening. It felt wierd leaving the little guy but we knew he was in good hands and it was nice to have an adult night out.
We did some Christmas shopping Saturday and tired poor little Adrian out running around town. He slept from 5PM on! Sunday Adrian attended his first Christmas party at Kingswood with all of our friends at CGI. He even saw Santa. He cried for a second but Santa started to sing a lullabye to him and he calmed down (although was still a bit tentative). It made for a good photo opp at least!
Jamie will be in lively Cornerbrook this week so Adrian, Barkley and I (yes, it's fun to fit all of us in the 2 door civic) will be in Stickney for a few days visiting Grammy and Grampy.

15 weeks - Busy Baby
Adrian grows more active by the day. He is getting less content hanging out in his swing these days as he wants to be moving and playing. We got him a mat to lay on the floor with toys on it and he just loves to lay and kick at them and talk. He can really use his hands now. It still looks strange to me when I see him in his car seat with a rattle or keys in his hand. And of course as soon as something new goes in his hand it goes directly into his mouth!
He is starting to make new razzing noises which are very cute. He is practising his 'H's these days. And he is still sleeping through the night. Sometimes he gets up for a 5:30AM snack but often he can sleep from 9PM - 8AM!
Wow, it is hard to believe that December is here already. Adrian and I are going to have to get crackin' on our Christmas cards and Christmas shopping. If anyone is looking for us this week we'll be at the mall! (-:
