December
I haven't been the best about updating my blog, but here are some pictures from December. Merek had fun on Christmas. He opened a couple of his presents and then played with all the boxes. It was also the first time we got to meet our new cousin Weston, he is very cute!

Thanksgiving
This year we spend Thanksgiving in Del Norte with Merek's Great-Grandparents. Aunt Brenda, Uncle Randy, Kellen, and Scott were there too. The food was great and the company was even better!
The picture is old, but I like it. It's Merek with his Great-Grandpa.
Halloween
We spent Halloween in Parachute with Aunt Brenda. Merek when trick-or-treating with his (second) cousins Kellen, Quiana, and McKenna. They all got tons of candy!
Without Merek
I went for a week of training in November for my new job. That meant that I had to leave Merek for 5 days. Being dropped off at the airport was the hardest, I didn't know if I was going to make it through 5 days without him.
Luckily, once I was in California I stayed busy enough to not dwell on being away from him. In the end it was a nice little break for both of us.
He got to stay at grandma's house. Aunt Allison and Great-Grandma also helped out with him. He even got to go visit grandpa.
It was so beautiful in California I wanted to move there. But every time we started driving the traffic reminded me of why I could never live there.

Something New!!
Things are starting to head in the right directions! I just found out yestarday that I have a NEW JOB. This is very exciting to me, but I'm very nervous.
I will be a "Case Review Specialist." I will go to different NICUs around Colorado to collect information for the insurance company. Luckily it will only be NICUs because I don't know a darn thing about adults!
I know I'm going to miss working with the babies, but I hope to enjoy this even more. It's more of an 8-5, Monday-Friday job, instead of my current 12 hour shifts. It will be very different to work 5 days a week. But I will get to spend some time with Merek every day now, that is so exciting.
The hardest part will be my first week. I have to fly to California for 5 days of training, which means I will be away from Merek for 5 days. I have never been away from him for that long, but he will be with Grandma and Aunt Allison so he will be well cared for.
Wish me luck!!

Sign Language
Little Mr. Merek has started his sign language class! People have asked, "Is he deaf?" Not at all, but he does have very selective hearing.
This week was his second class, he absolutely loves it. He can be grumpy all day, but he does wonderful in class. He is usually one of the only kids running around, while most of the other children stay seated with their parents. But he still keeps his eyes glued to his teacher. He sometimes tries to imitate her and he loves to dance when she turns the music on.
I try my best to use our signs at home, but so far he hasn't signed a whole lot. He definitely can say, "all done" when he is done eating. It's not neccessarily the sign language we learned, but it works.
