Our little man kept us on our toes this month of December!
We had a great month! We kicked it off with our friends Beth, Shane and their daughter Eila coming to visit for a night. I lived with Beth for two years in Arlington before meeting Rob. It's really fun to still make the time to all get together. Eila was so sweet with Robert. They first met when Robert was just a month or so old.
We did our first family bike ride thanks to a warm day in December. We rode over to Katie and Chris's house for a quick hello. Robert had mixed feelings on the ride, never crying but not quite smiling either. Since this ride Rob has taken Robert out a few more times and he is slowly warming to it. We did a family ride with the Green Brier Strattons later in the month even making it out on to the Capital Trail. We look forward to being able to do longer rides all together as a family!
Whoops! Maybe this had something to do with Robert not loving his first biking experience, ha!
We enjoyed going into Colonial Williamsburg a few times this month. We went for Grand Illumination with Katie, Chris, Ashleigh and the kids where Robert saw his first fireworks! We also enjoyed a nice, chill picnic on the Governor's Palace Green with Auntie Jessie when she visited for a few days. The kids got to see Father Christmas... Robert was less than pleased to be that close.
We got together for an outside Christmas with the Stratton gang at Chris and Katie's house. We enjoyed a fire, pizza and the zipline. It was a different Christmas than expected but we were still thankful that we could all be together.
Robert really loved reading books this month! I feel like his interest in books has really taken off, which has been so fun for both Rob and I. His favorites includ Christmas in the Manger, Ollie is Fine (thank you Garbers!), See, Touch, Feel and Wiggle Waggle. He has started to turn the pages when we read with him and loves hugging a stuffed animal mid book session if he's holding one.
