I'm lagging a bit on this blog, for good reasons: i'm exhausted all the time. Totally contradictory to what all the "expecting" books prep you for: "You'll have SO MUCH ENERGY your 2nd trimester." Lie. For me at least. It may have something to do with mothering a very active 1.5 year old.
Christmas was great-spent out here in California with good friends. Not the tradition for us-very non-climactic but a nice change. Kinda like any other day, except for the whole savior's birth thing we celebrated ;)
The day started with River's favorite activity: a four wheeler ride with dad. They cruised the property for a bit and after many tears were shed, dad finally convinced River to get off the vehicle and come inside to eat and open gifts.
Next we opened presents. He was more taken with sitting in the middle of his new train track than actually playing with it. Then he moved on to the box in which it came-that was much more fun.
We then went to our surrogate family's house to eat, chill, eat some more and open more gifts. Very relaxing and so fun to watch our friends' kids get all wide-eyed and hyper excited about their presents.
In other news, River has taken to singing. He sings all over the house, outside and at the grocery store. I'm not sure what he sings but he certainly seems confident. He's also obsessed with balls. He has too many to count, all different shapes and sizes. It's the first thing he asks for most mornings and the one word I know I can say to get a huge smile out of him. Pretty cute. Hope this isn't how OCD starts, cause we really fuel the flame. We usually can't get out of any store without picking up another one.
