Time is flying by! Christmas songs are on the radio and Thanksgiving is this week already! Good grief! It has been a busy and somewhat stressful few weeks in the Singewald household, but things are hopefully getting back "on-track" again.
John is quite the little man these days and quite the little monkey too! He is talking to us and his little animal and toy friends and loves to smile! I am greeted most mornings by his infectious smile and squeal when I get him out of his bed. I love those moments!!
John also had the opportunity to vote with me on Nov. 4. He was pretty good, but became very vocal as I was finishing my vote, so we both hussled through filling in those bubbles!
John was having a dance party when we got home
(and got the deer-in-headlights look with the flash!)
John was deep in thought while watching mom and dad!

Too cute! He's such a charmer!
John LOVES everything about his activity gym. He has quite the conversations with the octopus and fish and really gets his arms and legs moving. He is such a happy baby!
As the weather became colder, we had to bundle John more, as well as ourselves.
He was so content and cute, I just had to take a picture!
Here is our little monkey! When Phil and I first dressed him, we could not stop laughing because of how adorable he was! Look! He's even smiling! He loves being cuddly and warm in his little monkey suit! It certainly fits his personality too - he is a little monkey lately when it comes to taking afternoon naps longer than 30 min!
The last few weeks have been a little stressful in our house, but Phil and John have been great through it all. I had surgery two weeks ago due to complications from when John was born. After trying many different options, none seemed to work and surgery seemed to be the best choice. The surgery was far more extensive than what my doctor originally thought, and we are still waiting to see much positive progress. I then had further complications and had a spinal headache from the anethesia and had to have a blood patch. It was a rough week! Hopefully during my standing Wednesday appointment (pathetic?? yes!) I will receive better news, since we are running out of other options and I would prefer not to have another surgery. Because of my complications, I will not be returning to work on Dec. 1 either. We are hopeful that I can start back at half days Dec. 8 and continue until Christmas break. One day at a time!
We are looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with our families this week and are thankful for all of you in our lives! It will be exciting to get things ready for Christmas this year as well and to get our tree decorated and add another stocking by the fireplace. Oh, how far we've come in a year! Who would have thought we'd be a family of three at this time?
Life couldn't be better and we couldn't feel more blessed!
