Merry Christmas!

We didn't take that many pictures today!? Maybe it's because of Ray throwing up all the candy canes we gave him into a steamy pink mess. Or possibly because I never got around to getting a tree. Hmmm... that must be it. I thought I could just roll on out to the corner, pick out an 8-footer, and strap it to the back of my bike. No Luck. Couldn't find a tree lot. Go figure!?

All we got Ray was this pair of glasses. Oh, and a bunch of clothes. Uh, and a new blanket. New hat with rollie eyes (pictured yesterday), and new stuffed animal. And of course all the gifts you nice people got Ray.

After burping his Christmas brunch out of him, Ray spent a bit of the morning catatonic. I like to think of it as contemplative. Which ended with him on the bed giggling and smiling. (*not pictured)

I did get a little bit of him on tape, but you'll have to hold out until tomorrow or the next day. I will say that he did come up with some new vocalizations (*not on tape) tonight when we got home. Kind of that stereotypical cute baby voice, only not typical, and uh, much much cuter. We're pretty sure he made the beginning of "hello" and believe it or not said "Aaron"!? Repeatedly! Actually much better than Sow's ever pronounced it. I know none of you believe it so I'll just have to get it on tape. Check back this week. Ray kinda clams up in front of the camera because he gets distracted by the lens.

Oh, and let's not forget to give a big thumbs up to Daniel who went out and found the chairs I was looking for in Laos! Oh, and Colin for buying dinner.

Merry Christmas everyone!
