Our Christmas


This was Alex's first Christmas. He really enjoyed opening up presents, especially tearing the wrapping paper. I don't think that he really cared about the present underneath the paper, he just liked the sound the paper made when he tore it.

Alex had his big surgery today (circumcision). He was at the hospital at 6:30 AM and we left about 10:00 AM. He was in surgery about 45 minutes and everything went well. He did not like coming out of the anestethia at all. He cried for about 25 minutes straight. The nurse said that most children are disoriented and confused and don't know why they feel weird. They gave him some morphine to help him calm down and he finally slept about 10 minutes until the doctor came to check on the stitches. We got him home and he ate another bottle and then I rocked him to sleep and he slept for about 3 1/2 hours. This afternoon and evening he has been crawling around and playing, pretty normal appetite and attitude. Just as long as nobody touches his bottom.
