Christmas

Christmas was great!!  Jack was so much fun!  A lot more fun than last year!  

Christmas Eve we spent with John's family at Bryant and Rachel's for dinner and presents.

Then on to midnight mass, and then to Uncle Doug and Aunt Karen's house!  When we arrived at 2:30 am, we saw that Santa had already come!

We had matching PJs this year!

Look at all the gifts!!

 

We got a bunch of great knitted things from Sue.... This was the best picture I could get in this awesome hat...

 

The next day we went to Indiana to celebrate with my dad, and my mom's family.

 

 

And now we have a house full of toys we don't know what to do with!

First snow!

Ok, so it's not really his first snow, since last winter we got TONS and TONS of snow, but he was just a little guy and we didn't go out in the snow much at all, only to go places! So, today we got our first real snow of the year, which wasn't much, maybe an inch or so, but I was so excited to get Jack out into it!

We got his snowsuit on, and his first impression was ok.

Then, he hated it.  And he wouldn't stand up or walk.  He just sat there and cried.

He is only smiling in this one because Daddy was running around him.

I can't blame him, it's cold and wet and he couldn't move in his snow suit.  I'd cry too.

In other, confusing news..Jack seems to be signing for milk (nursing) all of the sudden.  I rarely sign to him, and actually for several months have just given it up because I was doing it so infrequently anyway.  I figured he'd be able to ask for milk before he could sign it.  But all of the sudden I swear he's doing the sign.  Weird.

He is walking!

Jack is walking most of the time now....he still falls a lot, and he still crawls a lot, but he loves to walk, and does it as much as he can.  Here are a couple of videos of some not so great walking moments.  I guess he only walks really good when the video camera is NOT on.
