33 weeks old: first Christmas!

Lots of new toys to play with the day after Christmas! Oliver seemed to enjoy his first Christmas just spending the day with his family. He started the day in pajamas that matched his sister's and we all had a big breakfast in front of a roaring fire with music from the Hipster Holiday Pandora station playing. He enjoyed oatmeal and fig puree. Afterward we moved to the living room and opened gifts in front of the tree. He was very excited about everything, especially the gift wrap. Here he is opening a gift. The password is Oliver2015.



Oliver also loved watching his sister open and play with presents. She helped with a lot of his. He loves his sister so much.

After a short but exciting time of opening gifts, Oliver went upstairs to take a nap. After his snooze, all of us including Gertie walked to Irving Park. It was a cold but dry day so the kids were able to play for a bit and we could stretch our legs. Oliver tried the swing again and this time seemed to mildly enjoy it. Hey, better than crying!

After lunch and a long afternoon nap, we all headed back out for dinner at the Chinese restaurant down the street. Business was hopping and everyone was in good spirits. Oliver enjoyed some carrot applesauce while the rest of us shared potstickers, crab puffs, and vegetable lo mein. Next year he'll be eating restaurant food right along with us.

And for dessert, some chin-chewing.
