New Tricks!
At almost 10 months, Ashton is full of new tricks! He loves to take bath's and now lays down to make sure he can splash us even more with his arms and legs. He loves the bath tub so much, that he just goes and stands by it and tries to climb in.

Ashton now has 7 teeth with the 8th one starting to come in. With these new teeth he loves to bite things, such as his puffs, Cheetos, and people! He is starting to eat more people food and loves toast and mandarin oranges. He's even had his first Jimmy John's sandwich, a turkey slim with cheese. He loved it! I couldn't feed him fast enough.

This is how we are now greeted whenever he wakes up! He just waits for someone to come and get him out of his crib.

Another one of Ashton's favorite things to do, is climb the stairs. He is obsessed with climbing them. He's even taught himself to slide down them as well. We try to barricade him downstairs, but he is finding ways to get around it.

Ashton is now pulling himself up on anything that he can, the couch, toy box, and Carson's little table. Carson isn't liking this new trick. Now Ashton can reach his toys as well or bother him while he's eating. You have to love boys!

Christmas Vacation
Our Christmas vacation didn't start out very good. Last Thursday (18th), Ashton woke up about 9:30pm with the stomach flu. So, Ashton and I slept downstairs together. He was fine when we woke up the next morning. On Saturday (20th and Paul's birthday), Carson and I both got the stomach flu! So, Paul spent his 32nd birthday taking care of all of us. We had to cancel our dinner plans, also. We are going to celebrate Paul's birthday next weekend instead. On Sunday (21st), we were supposed to pack-up and leave for our trip back to Minot. However, later that morning, Paul started not to feel well. He stayed in bed most of the day until about 3:30, when he informed me he was feeling better and wanted to leave and drive to Fargo. So, we packed-up the car and by 5:00pm we were on our way to Fargo. We stayed with our friends Ross and Allison. Monday we woke-up, got ready and headed to Minot.
It was freezing in Minot! So, we didn't have much to do, besides relax and hang out with our friends and families. Carson was pretty bored and kept saying he wanted to go back home. He did make it outside once, for about 5 minutes to help Papa feed the birds. We celebrated Christmas Eve with my parents and Christmas Day with Paul's. It was a very good time. We packed-up the car on Friday (26th) and drove the entire way back to MN. It wasn't a very fun drive because Ashton wouldn't sleep and screamed a lot of the way! I think we will be staying home for awhile. We hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Christmas Play
Last night our day care had the kids put on a little Christmas play and sing some Christmas songs. It was cute! They did the story of baby Jesus being born. Carson didn't really do much, but did sit in the stable like he was supposed to. He didn't want to sing any songs, though. I guess theater isn't going to be his future career path. We are very blessed to have a great day care provider, that really cares about all of our kids. Thanks Heidi!




We will be heading back to Minot on Sunday, weather permitting, to spend Christmas with both of our parents. We haven't been back to Minot for 2 years, so I guess it's time to go back. We are planning on staying until Friday. Hopefully it will be a relaxing vacation. We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
