Wow! What a whirlwind couple weeks we have had...between Christmas, a little getaway to Mexico and the New Year's holiday we have been rockin'! We had a great first Christmas with Dane, however our day was jam packed from morning until about midnight. Dane wasn't very interested in opening presents, however he did like the wrapping paper and boxes. His favorite toy seems to be his little cop SUV that flashes lights and makes all kinds of noise. He did wobble a couple steps on Christmas day, however he hasn't really done that since. He definitely stands without holding onto anything for about 10 seconds at a time, but he's not going anywhere yet without holding onto something.
Cameron and I drove Dane to Indiana on Christmas afternoon to stay with my mom while we were in Mexico. I am happy to say that I successfully left him for 4 days, however it was definitely not an easy thing to do. I cried on the way back to IL and by the 3rd night my mom said Dane was having a bit of a rough time with all of it. She was up with him for a while in the wee hours and he just kept looking around thinking "You're not my mom and this isn't my house and when are my parents coming back?" (Her words, not mine). Saturday was a travel day and Sunday was relaxing for me, however by Monday I was starting to really get the itch to get back to see Dane. Thankfully we landed a half hour early on Tuesday and made it back before he went to bed. Despite missing our little man, we did have a nice time in Mexico with our friends Luke & Nicole.
We spent a couple days at the Zehring house and celebrated the arrival of 2010 with them. So...here is a montage of some pictures from Christmas and our trip to Mexico (I won't bore you with all 89 pics). Enjoy!
