Holiday Cheer- Part I

Jack was two months old on December 15th. It feels like we have come so far from when he first slept between us in his hospital bed and yet we still feel VERY new to the world of parenting. Things to note at two months:

He has started to smile at us. Michael tends to get very large grins.
He loves to lay on his changing pad.
He has started to sleep from 7:00 p.m. - 1:30 a.m. This makes his mother very happy.
He loves to kick on his play mat.
He is not the best napper...something he gets from his parents.

Our first stop this Christmas was to NaNa and Pop's house. The biggest treat was having Krissy, John and Rufus come home for the holidays. John got to meet Jack for the first time.

Krissy perfected the "Ru" hold with Jack. This requires you to hold Jack facing out and walking at a fast pace. Wonderful for Jack and tiring for the "handler". The things you will do to sooth a crying child.

Jack received a classic for Christmas...The Ultimate Radio Flyer. I am sure this will continue to make an appearance on the blog because it is such a pimped out ride. Check out these little elves.

We went to Galveston for Thompson family Christmas. Jack found a great partner to sit with.

Paw Paw still can't believe he is a Great Grand Paw Paw.

These two loved playing ball together in the bay.

Sibling love!

Jack watches the Nutcracker for the first time.

Family is such a blessing. The hugs, smiles, conversations, and history you share cannot be measured. We cherish this special time over the holidays when we get to make memories with those that mean so much to us. We love you all and are excited for Jack to be around such amazing people.

Stay tuned for Part II of the Christmas break!
