1st Christmas Tree

Here we are starting to put up the tree, Ayden got to crawl around and play while I struggled with the lights. He tried to help once or twice but got bored pretty quick and went to play with his toys instead.
Here Cy is after I most of the lights up. He was trying on the Baby Bjourne, and him and baby were prading around the living room. They both enjoyed that.

Here is Ayden and I hanging up his first baby Christmas ornament, that Grandma Ellis gave him. He liked the feel of the needles on the tree (its a live one) so he kept trying to feel them and didn't worry to much about the shiny ornament. It was a great start to a wonderful season. The only room we have in the house that is for baby and the christmas tree is our family room. So I thought for sure that with him crawling around he would be all over the tree. But so far the attraction is at the other end of the room. Either with the dog's water or climbing on the baby gate.

If looks could kill...Don't mix kids and cats!

After getting up 5 times last night and then starting the morning at 6:30am I was a little grumpy. So after Cy woke up at about 8am, I thought I would lay back down for a little bit. I got to sleep for about an hour when I heard baby screaming with all his might. So I run down stairs and he is just finishing up crying (he usually only carries on for about a minute when he gets hurt), and I see this little bloody face. Apparently Ayden was playing with our very cute cat Coonie for about 5 minutes and then Coon got a little sick of him (Ayden probably pulled his hair on his belly, that is is favorite place to go for) and Coon swatted at Ayden and got him in the face. Poor kid. But all is well now he and Coon are friends again. No hard feelings with either party.
This is the picture I took of Ayden right after the scratching with the shiny Neosporin nose.
This is the picture of Coon right after the incident. He photographs so well. I would not of posted this 'incident' but I couldn't resist after I downloaded the pictures and the two of them had the same look in different pictures. Coon always blinks in his pictures. He really is not an evil cat. He just looks like it... Needless to say he got his little toenails clipped. Now that is when he gave me the evil look.
Here is Ayden after in the next picture right after his 'evil look', no worse for the wear. The scratch looks great tonight. It amazes me how fast baby's heel. He will scratch his face (worse than this usually) with his nail and its almost healed in two days. Amazing! So the moral of the story. Don't go take a nap and let the husband watch the baby play with the cat.. My bad. :)
