January is flying by!

I can not believe how fast time flies. It is already halfway through January and I haven't even finished everyone's Christmas gifts! Geddy is keeping me quite busy. He is no longer content just to play in our living room, even though it is quite large. He wants the freedom of the whole house. So I try to block off part of the kitchen so he can't get into the cupboards under the sink or go down the stairs to the garage door (something that he can do quite fast and silently so I have no idea he even went that way). Then I just have to remember to shut the doors to the bathroom, computer room, and our bedroom so he can be free to roam the kitchen, hallway, living room and his bedroom. Luckily he isn't a kid who likes to put weird things in his mouth or I would really have to worry about Spanky's food corner. All Geddy likes to do there is splash the water out of the cat's dish and scatter his dry food or treats around so he can "help" mama sweep them up. I am finally able to do some craft projects I have wanted to. I just put some phone books on a kitchen chair and scooted Ged up to the table and he was quite happy with a Fantastic Four coloring book and some crayons.
His favorite game to play with dad lately is baseball. He is quite coordinated using a empty soda bottle as the bat and a small plastic ball. He thinks it is quite hilarious when he hits the ball into the wall, TV, piano, mama or dad. He has always loved basketball, but he has obsessed about it since last Friday night when he got to watch dad play on the church team. He wanted to get down and play with that big basketball more than anything. He practiced his dribbling in between halves. The only time he didn't watch the game was the last quarter because dad was sitting out and there was a little girl wanting to play with him that quite distracted him.
We finally got a new printer for our computer. It is one that prints really nice photos. I am so excited to finally be able to print my own pictures at home instead of sending away for them. So I have been busy doing that instead of taking new photos. I am also finally getting into a normal sleep pattern and it is actually making me feel more tired than ever. I guess I just need to get readjusted. Geddy sleeps (most nights) for 10-12 hours straight. He is finally getting over his cough that he has had since Christmas. So night time is becoming a much more peaceful time in our house.

I forgot to mention some info about the picture where he is wearing Scott's shoes. He had his own shoes on underneath so the big shoes stayed on. He was actually walking around in them and kicking his soccer ball.
