Jack Frost

Our first family Christmas was one for the books! Tyson and I had both of our families over on Christmas Eve and split Christmas Day between each side. Jack was the center of attention, and he loved it. He wasn't too interested in opening gifts. He was more interested in tearing up tissue paper. Either way, Christmas was so much more fun with a little one around!

I wish that Jack was in this picture, but he was taking a nap. 

 

My sister got Jack his first pair of Nikes for Christmas. They are so adorable on him!

Christmas morning

Santa brought Jack a soccer ball, basketball and football. I think that Tyson is enjoying having them around more than Jack is. Tyson bounced the basketball around the house most of Christmas Day :)

Opening stocking stuffers

Jack's first pair of Carhartt overalls, a gift from the Head family.

Tyson and I think he looks like a LumberJack in this outfit...hehehe!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Great Grandma Carol sent Jack a bear for Christmas. He was pretty excited about his new toy!

Jack recently decided that he doesn't like wearing bibs. It's a little inconvenient because he has been drooling a lot lately. I think that a few more teeth are about ready to sprout. Here are a few pics of him trying desperately to get his bib off. This one was a little trickier, because it goes over his head.

 

 

 

 

Jack got a few early Christmas presents from his Aunt Debbie. She got him a trike, a bowling set and a t-ball set. We put them under the tree for now, but he has been interested. I think Kobi has even come around!

 

 

We had a girls' dinner at my friend Abby's house on Wednesday. Although Jack isn't looking at the camera, this is an adorable picture of him and Caroline. What cutie pies!

Today I helped put up my parents' Christmas tree. I found a pair of antlers in one of the boxes and tried them out on Jack. Judging from these pictures, he didn't mind. I think he's really feeling the Christmas spirit!

 

Giggleville: Population One

I hope that the sound works on this video, because it's one of the cutest things I've ever seen! I was feeding Jack lunch the other day and I sneezed. He started laughing hysterically so of course, I had to sneeze five more times to really enjoy it. Of course I loved it when Jack was really tiny and would let me hold him for long spans of time. Although that is a distant memory, I am loving this new phase. I am getting to know him more and more every day, and I love it.

Santa Claus is IN Town!

My Mom, sister, Jack and I went to Chesterfield Mall on Monday to get Jack's first picture with Santa. It turned out pretty cute. Jack didn't cry at all, he just kept looking up at Santa and staring. The picture below was taken while we were waiting to see him.

 Jack has recently taken a liking to the Swifer. He crawls into the kitchen, pulls the Swifer out, and pushes it back and forth. He can help me clean any time he wants!

 

My parents took all of us out to Uncle Bill's for breakfast on Saturday. Jack tasted French Toast for the first time. He also ate eggs and bacon, which he stored in his cheeks for about 20 minutes, only to spit out on Pop Pop! My Mom fed him a bottle and cuddled with him before they left.

Jack has been trying to pull himself up on the second shelf of the bookshelf, as you can see. He is getting more and more determined to explore every day. Tyson took these pictures on his phone.

 

Rollin' With The Homies

Jack and I went to my good friend Aaron Reinberg's house for a playdate yesterday. Abby and Caroline came too. Jack could not get enough of Aaron's cats. I guess he is just used to dogs. We had a great time!

 Apparently, Jack wasn't in the mood for pictures

 

 Sweet Caroline

 

Call Me Al

 

Do I already need to start telling Jack to take his finger out of his nose?

Good friends
