Sorry for the delay in posting, but lots going on during this busy season and none of them actually have to do with Christmas.
So, here's a rundown:
1. Matt's Dad came through the surgery just great and is currently sleeping for a few days in the ICU until he's in the clear. Matt and I went down to Boston on Thursday to be there with Linda and drove right into the driveway right before the temp dropped and everything turned to ice. Thank you angels watching over us.
2. Jack got another ear infection and went on amoxicillin. Well guess what? He's allergic to amoxicillin and has these awful red, warm, swollen, disgusting hives all over his body and his face. Even his eye! Talk about waking up to a nightmare this morning. It scared me big time!
3. Photo shoot for Christmas cards was supposed to be last week, Jack was sick. Was supposed to be this week, but with the new development of hives, not going to happen. So look for our New Years Cards, coming to a mailbox near you.
4. Matt and I are battling the cold from hell.
5. Bad News: My position is being eliminated at work. Good news: I got another position, albeit part time at the hospital. I'm not worried, we have a great support system and I'm actually looking forward to spending more time with Jack while I can.
6. We made it through the storm just fine, we didn't lose power, although some, okay most, of the streets around us went without for DAYS.
All this and we haven't gone to get a tree yet. My mom gave me my favorite decorations from my childhood and they aren't out yet, and it's 8 days til' Christmas. I need a break, or a drink.....not sure which. Maybe both.
Sorry such a quick post but just wanted to give everyone a quick update. I'm hoping to take some pictures at Christmas, and will post as soon as I can. Pending hives, ice storms, fevers and colds. Love to all!

Finally, an update!
Hi All -
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we enjoyed our turkey and stuffing and MASHED potatoes (that one was for you, Dad.) So we have some footage and some pictures of our little lovie and a few "Jack Facts" to update you on his progress:
1. Jack now weighs 24.25 lbs. and is 30 inches long.
2. The doctor was concerned about the size of his head, but once I explained that his Daddy has a large head, all is well. (tee hee)
3. Jack now has 2 teeth, little nubby things on the bottom front. I thought he was cute all gums, but he just got cuter with those little pearls.
4. He likes to hit his mom, doc says it's normal, but we're trying to nip it in the bud. It's hard to dodge the flying fists of a 9 month old, I tell ya. He also gives big, open mouth, drooly kisses so that kinda makes up for the fists of fury.
5. Jack is now furniture surfing, so I fear, oops, I mean anticipate he'll be walking soon.
6. Jack loves to eat, he says "Mmmmmm" with just about every bite, as the video below will clearly show.
7. He says, Mama, Dada and Baba. I think Baba is Maggie, but I'm not sure. He doesn't direct them at us yet, but he says them and that's good enough for me. :)
8. Jack loves to dance and has already learned the patented Rossiter shoulder shake. It's his preferred dance move. He does it in the bathtub, in his high chair, while playing, he's just a dancin' machine!
9. He has settled quite nicely into his new daycare and loves it there. They love his laugh and call it his "Woody Woodpecker" laugh. He does sound like Woody Woodpecker sometimes, so I got a real kick out of that one.
I think that's it, but here are a few pictures to show how much he's grown. I almost cried when I had to schedule his 1 year appointment. I can't believe it! I saw a 2 month old last week and couldn't believe my peanut was that small just a few months ago.

I let him feed himself, this was the result.

Standing and getting into things he shouldn't.

I just thought he looked so cute in his diedee I had to take a photo. Check out those pecs!
.jpg)
At the Children's Museum, making eyes at a little cutie name Susie. She had on striped tights and Mary Janes, he likes that in a woman.
Until next time, we hope all is well with you all, stay tuned for more of my ramblings....I know you're all busy with the holidays, so I'll try to keep it to a minimum.
Love to all!
