Christmas Presents

So, I didn't do a Christmas post.  Mostly because Christmas came and every single camera device we had either needed to be charged or was out of file space on the data card.  Oh well.  It was pretty low key.  We got Zac a few things: some foam blocks (considered wood but then realized my son likes to throw things and felt foam would be safer), a table, a bubble blower for the bath tub (which come to find out terrifies the kid and has only been used a few times).  He also got a few things from grandparents and friends.

The table has been a big hit!  He loves it.  It took him a little while to get used to the chairs (by took him a while I mean he fell out of them a lot...and still does from time to time), but he uses it all the time.  Good purchase I would say.

After Christmas we purchased a few large items.  We got a book shelf for the play room so all of Zac's books could be within his reach and a shelving unit (see background of bottom right picture) to store his toys in to keep the room looking tidier.

We also ended up purchasing new couches for our living room.  The biggest downfall of the play room was that there wasn't anywhere for adults to sit, so you were hanging out on the floor with Zac.  Well, I got to thinking that come April, I am going to have a little baby to be holding and nursing, etc. while also trying to keep track of this kid.  I would prefer to do this in the play room so he is entertained...so we moved the old couches upstairs (the babysitter is not going to complain).
