The Kleeman Klan: Parker's 1st Christmas

We had a great 1st Christmas with Parker. He got lots of gifts (mostly from Grandma Henry). She's going to spoil him so much! He got lots of fun things (clothes, rattle, story books, gloworm, ornaments, and blankets). As you can see by this picture, Parker is almost lost in his gifts! My mom was able to come down Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We made sausage balls and Christmas cookies. I read the "Night Before Christmas" to Parker on Christmas Eve and we put out a plate of cookies for Santa and Jake left 2 doggie cookies for Santa's dog. Parker decided to go to bed at 4:30pm on Christmas Eve, so that day was a little short, but was up for a good amount of time on Christmas Day. We always open 1 gift on Christmas Eve and the rest of the gifts on Christmas Day, so that was fun to continue the tradition. Grandpa and Grandma Kleeman got Parker a really cute Nebraska outfit and got Jake a Nebraska bandana. It was great!

Parker's new thing is his hands. He is completely capitvated by his hands. He can sit and stare and play with his hands for a long time. He is holding on to things better and better each day.

Parker enjoys his bath time now and Grandma Henry loves giving him a bath!

Parker is enjoying Grandma Henry reading a story about snowmen that she got him. He loves being read to and really enjoys looking at the pictures in the story.

Of course Jake had a good Christmas too! He got lots of treats from us, my mom, and my sister.

This will become a Kleeman tradition. We read some Christmas stories on Christmas Eve.

Parker's doing better holding his head up. He still can't quite hold it on his own, but he's getting better every day! He should be able to do that soon!
