Happy Hall Holiday

I hope you're ready for LOTS of pictures from Christmas, because I had the camera out and took a lot of good ones.  We started our holiday extravaganza at the Hall's house in Hamilton, where we had lots of snow, food, presents, and cheer. 

I'd rather sit here than in my car seat, but if you insist, I'll move to the back

This is the first time Grandma and Grandpa Hall have seen me eat solids!

Mmmm, I love cereal

Sitting with Grandpa by the stove is so warm and cozy

The Hall men

Trying some mashed potatoes....GOOD!

That ceiling fan is mesmerizing

Keep it coming, Shirley

Kisses for Nana (how do you like seeing it in writing, Molly?!)

Showing Grandpa my nifty holiday vest

This present is shiny and delicious

I'm the coolest cat in town thanks to my new hat from Aunties Sarah and Heather and Uncle Mark!

I'm ready to let out a rebel yell

It's even more adorable up close

AHHHHH!!!!  (Here's that yell I promised)

I also got an amazingly tasty puzzle shaped like a rainbow

Yellow is good and good for you

I'm going to chew into this present instead of ripping the paper

Talk about a perfectly shaped rainbow head

Daddy's new firefighting mug is fun to gum too

This bubble paper was one of my favorite toys while in Hamilton

Mommy read me a new book

Brr, it's cold outside!  Good thing I got a fuzzy new blanket!


Great Grandpa Gubbins always loved cardinals.  I miss him this Christmas, but he's with me in my heart.

First Poop on the Potty!

I apologize that this whole post will qualify as TMI (and sorry, future Jakob, for the embarrassment it'll inevitably cause), but this is a big day in our house.  After I left for work today, Jakob went poop in his potty for the first time!  Dan noticed him straining and asked if he wanted to sit on the potty.  For the first time, Jakob said "uh huh," let Dan undress him, and sat on his potty until he was "all done."  He tried to flush it down about 10 times and was rather confused that it stayed in place, as opposed to what he sees the normal potty do, but he was VERY proud of himself nevertheless.  He said "Jakey did it" the whole way to daycare, and he even tried to go again when we got home.   We certainly don't expect this to be the new normal in our house, but we're very excited and proud of the little guy anyway.  Way to go Jakob on this big (although little, as you can see in the picture) milestone! A tiny deposit, but a big dea...

Playtime!

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!
