Here is Jack at 48 weeks old…
(December 27, 2012)

We had a very divine Christmas week! Here are some photo highlights of the days leading up to Christmas.

Jack’s first gift encounter…

It was a walker from his Grandparents K. He adores it and is so proud of himself when he walks around the house.

Christmas Eve morning we all went out to breakfast with one of R’s long time friends. He took the only photo of the three of us together during the holidays. Oops…

We spent Christmas Eve night at my parent’s house and woke up there on Christmas morning. Jack received a wagon from my parents and we put all his other gifts inside of it for him to discover. He was slightly overwhelmed…

I was thrilled that my brother, Robert, was visiting for the holiday and was able to spend time with Jack. Here they are together reading a book…

My brother made Jack laugh by standing over him and sniffing his head over and over. Jack found this to be confusing and hilarious. It was sweet to see them together.

Later in the day we joined R’s extended family for Christmas dinner. Jack enjoyed a green pouch for his Christmas dinner (after filling up on the cheese & cracker appetizers)…

Jack got an opportunity to chill out with another uncle who lives up North, Casey! Here they are chillin’ on the couch…

He also got to play with his cousin, Joaquin, who is 4 months younger. Joaquin kept trying to give Jack a kiss…

Everyone in our family was so generous with Jack. It was clear that everyone was thinking of him and for that we are so grateful!

Jack has continued to sleep better. Some nights he’ll sleep through until 5:30/6:00. Other nights he’ll wake one time sometime between 3:00/4:00. We ‘re not sure why that extra waking happens sometimes, but we’ve been relatively successful at weaning him from needing a bottle at that time. It’s been great!

All in all we had a beautiful holiday…

Holidays over and out…

Happy New Year!
