Christmas in California

I finally feel settled back into our routine and found some time to go through all of the pictures we took in CA.  We had a great trip and everybody managed to stay healthy this year until we got home (unlike last year).  It's been one thing after another for the past three weeks.  Olivia has had a cold, barfing, and another cold.  Wes had a cold and had two teeth come in since we've been back.  Then I found out that I have bronchitis.  We are all finally feeling better! January has been a wonderful month!

Anyway, we had so much fun with our family in CA.  Olivia loved playing with her cousins, Adella and Nolan, everyday.  We went to Disneyland, saw some friends, went to the beach, and even went on a few dates!

I'm learning that a vacation is never really a vacation when you have kids.

That's it? We're done?

I took Wes to his third helmet appointment on Tuesday.  I knew they were going to take a scan of his head to get the most accurate measurements and then I thought they would adjust the helmet before going home.  To my surprise his measurements came back within the normal range and we're now helmet free!!!  Congratulations, Wes!  You did it in just 5 weeks!

So, his head isn't perfectly round, but I think it looks great.  According to the orthotist, the helmet did it's job and his head will continue to improve as he grows especially since he rolls onto his belly at night and can sit up on his own.

I never thought I would be sad to see it go so quickly.  He was so cute in that helmet.  I'm going to keep it safe, so I can show it to him when he's older.  I'm so proud of my little man!

Bye bye, helmet!
