Christmas Continues

I wasn't kidding about the quantities of pictures I took at Christmas :-)

Formal family photo with babies' first Christmas
Hi Great Grandma, it's so good to see you again!
How do you like my second outfit of the day?
It's a proven fact, Santa does rock
Playing with cousin Mikey
Saratoga tradition of the peppermint pig, which you break with a little silver hammer...
....I'll leave that part to cousins Mikey and Jack.  I'd rather just gum the hammer.
What in the world is this?!
I think I'd like this better without the wrapper on
Sneaking some Mommy time amidst playing with all my friends and family
All Mommy wants for Christmas is to give me love
A Yankees hat!  I'm ready to support my team!
My cousins have a Thomas train...totally cool
I'm a conductor
Want to play some reindeer games?
Grandpa, I like your head gear, but mine is more festive
This is as close as Mommy and Aunt Ali are going to get
Headed back to Vermont...so tired from five of the best days of my life!

First Poop on the Potty!

Jakob is loving his bouncer!  He's hilarious to watch when he's in it, because he gets such a serious look on his face when he's playing, and he refuses to straighten out his legs and instead just dangles in the seat. Tomorrow we've got his four month doctor's appointment.  I'm certain they're going to say he's healthy and doing a great job growing and developing, but like last time, I'm so nervous for his shots.  Keep your fingers crossed that he doesn't have any adverse reactions! Having all this fun is serious business Mom, please don't bother me.  Can't you see I've got playing to do?! So intriguing! Reading with Daddy is fun too. This Doctor Seuss guy is a wacko, but I like his style!
