My Mom came over to Olin on Sunday to pick Jay and me up to go back to their house. We had a great time with the Slaters and had a lot of fun playing with Ethan and Audrey. We're hoping to spend some time with them again soon!
Mom drove Jay and I back on Wednesday. She decided she was going to visit Grandma and Grandpa, making the extra stay for us a little easier. It was an eventful journey on the way home.
We stopped at Panera in Cedar Rapids. I took the opportunity to feed Jay some solid food and share some bread with him. As we were getting ready to leave, Jay started throwing up. Not spit up, throw up. Everything he had eaten (which wasn't very much) had started to come back up. After a quick clothing change for Jay and myself, we were back on the road.
With Jay not feeling well, I did a huge no-no and held him the rest of the way home. He threw up two more times before we got to our house. He did sleep for quite a bit of the journey. He had a few loose poopy diapers once we had been home for a while. I gave him some Pedialyte and he did eat some formula that he has kept down. He was his normal bouncy self and fighting sleep by 9:00. It took about two hours to calm him down enough to go back to sleep.
Of course, that's when I started throwing up. At this point, we're not sure if it's something we ate, or if we got whatever Jamie's family got, or if it's something else all together. Needless to say, Jason is going to have his hands full tomorrow if both of us are still sick. If I'm sick, he's staying home for sure.

Christmas Time
Jason, Jay and I celebrated our Christmas on the 22nd, the day before we left for eastern Iowa. It was pretty late by the time we were done with presents. Once Jay had his bath and got into his jammies, it was well after 10. Santa gave me the movie "Kung Fu Panda 2" so Jason and I decided to watch it. We didn't get to bed until almost 1. That wasn't such a good idea. We got up around 8 the next morning and still had to finish up packing and put everything into the pacifica.
We got to Miles around 1:30. We had chicken noodle soup for supper then opened prezzies. Jay was such a good boy for the trip. He did his best to open prezzies. He liked the big box that was for Jason and me. It ended up being a new convertible car seat for Jay. He almost weighs too much for the car seat he has now. He had a hard time falling asleep, but once he did, he slept pretty hard.
Today we are traveling to Olin for more Christmas time. Hopefully more traveling will not bother Jay.

They're In!!
That's right....Jay's pictures are here! I'm very excited because they turned out so well! I'm sure it would have been hard for them not to since he's such a cutie! He and I have been having a busy week. 
Monday we went shopping for formula after we stopped at food service to say Merry Christmas to my old co-workers. Tuesday Jay and I were a little under the weather. Jay seemed to still be quite stuffed up and tired and I was battling an almost migraine. (It didn't turn into one, but it sure had potential!) Wednesday was Baby Talk, soup luncheon at the church (entertained by the organ), to Walmart for picture pick up, and later that night back to church for the kids pajama party and chancel choir. They didn't have anyone in the nursery, so Jay got to sing in the choir too. Thursday I decided it was a good day to not go anywhere. Jay and I hung out at home, laughing and having a good time. We read his library books and watched a Christmas movie. Friday I spent a good portion of the day working on a medical transcription test. Our friend, Adam came down to spend the weekend with us and surprised us with my sister Jordan! Jay thought it was great to have both of his Godparents visiting.
Today was another veg out day. I spent most of my time finishing my test. I didn't get a lot of my daily chores done, but I did spend a lot of time with Jay. Jason and I were lucky enough that Adam and Jordan volunteered to watch Jay for a little bit so we could go for a walk outside. It's been unseasonably warm and we wanted to enjoy it for a bit. Jay and I also Skyped with Mom and Dad for a little bit this morning. I think Jay's pretty excited about seeing them next week. Probably not quite as excited as I am, but I'm sure it's pretty close.
