Cozy Coupe

Jack loves the Cozy Coupe he got for Christmas! He loves going for a ride in it and playing in it. He also likes to push it, which is great practice for walking. Thanks Uncle Lynn!

Jack's First Christmas

Jack's first Christmas was amazing! He got so many wonderful presents from Santa, family and friends...we don't know where we're going to put everything! He loved opening his presents and got so excited over them. He would scream, kick his legs and move his arms up and down...it was so funny! He did very well opening them on his own. We would make a small tear and he would pretty much do the rest...I think he liked the sound of the wrapping paper. We've always loved Christmas but it's so much more special and fun with a little one! Here are lots of pictures of our first Christmas with our little guy. I hope everyone had a very merry christmas!!

Jack got his very first cowboy hat and wore it while opening his other presents.






This bat was one of his favorite toys...he carry's it everywhere and bangs it on everything.
















Very first 4-wheeler like Pops!


The cutest little cowboy in Texas!

Daddy's Birthday

Yesterday was Larry's birthday. He opened his birthday gift and then we headed to The Woodlands Waterway for dinner. The Shipleys joined us for dinner and we had a great time! After dinner, we walked down to the waterway to look at all the pretty lights...the kids loved the lights! Larry had a great birthday and we look forward to celebrating many, many more!!

Santa, Party & PJ's

We took Jack to meet Santa Claus and got his picture taken with him. We didn't know how he would react but he did so good and never even cried! He was so amazed by Santa and wouldn't stop staring at him!



Last night we had Larry's company Christmas Party so mommy and daddy got dressed up and had a night out! Jack spent the night with Mimi and they had so much fun! Larry was a little under the weather but we had a great time and really enjoyed the party.



Here's a picture of Jack in his Christmas pj's. These pj's are so cute, he had to wear them before Christmas. If you can't read his shirt, it says "Dear Santa, I can explain..."!

9 Month Check-Up

Jack had his 9 month check-up today. He is getting so big and is becoming "Mr. Independent"! He rarely wants to be held anymore, which makes mommy very sad. He is getting into everything!
