Today I learned

With a baby, every day is a learning experience, and I'm not just talking about Jasper.

Today I learned an important lesson: When a diaper change requires wipes before you remove the diaper, the baby should just be taken straight to the tub. For the second day in a row, Jasper managed to do his business outside of his diaper. I have no idea how these things happen to a little guy who's restricted to laying on his back. The good news this event was inspiration for cleaning the bathroom, tub and all! This genuinely was good, as it hadn't been cleaned since my mom so graciously gave it a scrub when she visited after the little guy was born. And continuing my domestic duties, of course I also had to do a load of laundry.

Since we were unexpectedly traveling on Christmas, we finally had our gift exchange on New Year's Day. For the first time, Seth and I did not exchange gifts. Instead we got a few toys and a book for Jasper. To make the morning a bit more Christmaslike, I put on our holiday playlist and made our traditional holiday breakfast of Quiche Lorraine. The other major change this holiday was the parental obligation to document the entire thing.

Here's a few pics of Jasper -- one with his stocking and another with his new toys. He loves this worm-like stuffed toy. Thanks, Kazoodles for the great selection so close to home!
