Merry Christmas!

We have had a busy few days celebrating Christmas! I am splitting our Christmas pictures into three posts. Here is round 1- Christmas Eve...

We started off the day by having Jack open one gift- his new Christmas pajamas.

He loved them!

Next, we went to Libby's house to have a Christmas Eve lunch with family. Jack got to spend some time with MeMe.

He also got to spend some time with Maximus.

Those two are going to be trouble next year!

After Libby's we headed home. Jack got to show Uncle Ian his new workbench.

We decided to open gifts on Christmas Eve as a family- Jack loves his new stocking!

Daddy helped him open his stocking stuffers...

Hmmm, what's in here?

Since Jack is quite the traveler, Santa must have thought he needed his own bag.

Quite the little man- loves to play on his new laptop!

8 Month Pictures

Another month has flown by. Here are a few cute pics at 8 months old!

Look at that face- what a little stinker!

Times have changed- it was difficult to get him to sit still for the pictures.

He's so proud of himself!

On to the rocking chair...

Now out of the rocking chair!

He'd rather scoot and move all over the floor.

Breakfast with Jack

Jack is getting so big, so fast! He is learning how to feed himself, and I got a few pictures while we were eating breakfast on Saturday.

Grabbing a fruit puff from the tray...

Look Mom, I got it!

Putting it into the mouth...

He's so proud of himself!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

On Monday, Jack went to visit Santa.

He started out wondering about the beard...

And ended up ready to go back to Mommy!

Big Boy Bath

About a month ago we stopped using the newborn tub, but Jack has just now discovered splashing and all of the fun things he can do at bathtime.

Enjoying his bath book...

Sweet little boy all bundled up like a hippo!

Two Tiny Teeth!

Please ignore the fact that these are extreme Jack close ups. It was the only way to show the new teeth that have popped in! There are two on the bottom, and I don't think the top two are far behind...

Arboretum, Part 2

Here's a few more pics from our trip to the Arboretum...

Jack was in awe of Santa's beard.

But that didn't last long!

Taking a look at Santa's reindeer, Donner.

Spending some time with Rudolph...

And Frosty the Snowman.

Arboretum family pic

This picture cracks me up!

So sweet- love this boy!

Christmastime at the Arboretum, Part 1

We got together with Meghan and Tyler this weekend so we could take Jack and Makenna to the Arboretum. Here is the first set of pictures from our afternoon there.

Such good daddies!

So sweet! They just love each other.

Jack is excited about everything!

Their faces in this picture crack me up.

Daddy and son.

Mommy and son.
