Merry Baby Christmas!

Another month has passed and ready or not, Jacob is 5 months!  He is such an observer that all the Christmas lights have been of great interest to him.  I got some pictures of him under the tree... As you know, he was our little gift from heaven this year!!!  He is rolling over and started eating baby cereal and avocados a couple of weeks ago.  Still happy as can be and extremely calm and cuddly!

Look how long and strong he is getting!

Silent Night

We got Josh a nativity playset to help him understand the Christmas season better and we never imagined how interested he would be in it!!! For the first few nights after opening it up, he was obsessed with every little detail of it and wanted us to read the story of Baby Jesus over and over. He would set up all the characters up just perfect and then just gaze at it. One evening, as he was supposed to be going to sleep, we found him starring at the nativity with his head rested on his arm supported by his little elbow... we waited and watched to see what would happen and a few minutes later we checked on his an this is what we found:

Big Baby part 2

If the house gets too quiet, we quickly ask ourselves- "Where the heck is Kyle?!".  He is our quiet determined little monkey that will climb and help himself to anything that looks like a great toy for him.  He darts out of the doggie door and thinks it is a game to run to end of the dog run where the stinky trash can is stored and even worse where the stinky doggie poop sits!  He has started to climb on the kitchen counter to get the bananas and has climbed out of crib twice!  He is a little man on a mission to figure things out... Well, this time he was caught in his tracks!  He has attempted to get into this baby jumper for some time, but was unsuccessful and would watch with envy as Jacob bounced around.  He finally made it in before we could stop him, but he didn't realize after he got in, he could not get himself out!

Uncle Anthony, we miss you!

This past week has been a hard one for Mike's family and friends.  His uncle was tragically killed in an auto accident while he was on the job driving his truck cross country.  He is a beloved father, son, brother, uncle & grandfather and will be missed dearly!  Please pray for his grieving family...

Anthony could always make anyone laugh with his stories and outlook on life, he was such a comical character with a bold attitude and heart of gold- your memories are in our hearts!
