First Time Swimming

We went to Janelle's weeding on the 12th and stayed at the Samoset.  While there we decided what a great time to take J swimming for the first time.  We had a bathing suit for him, the Nana had bought a long time ago. 

So we tried it out,

And Nana went with us to play!

He had fun but it didn't last to long.

He had fun but was sure glad to get out also!

After Christmas

So after J got a sled for Christmas we decided he needed to go outside and play with it.

Daddy pulled him around the yard and around the driveway after we finally go our first big snow storm.

And he played with Ryan's snowmobile!

We have been really busy with being sick, and trying to get everyone better but we have had a little time to relax.

And J and Sophie have decided they love each other and loved to play together on the couch.

We also made a trip to camp.

Where J and Grampapa did some playing.

I just love the look on his face.  

And we went out to dinner to local restaurant at camp.  He did better this time, the first time we went there with him he was about 2 and a half months old and slept through the entire meal.  This time he was awake the whole time.  

Happy Birthday Nana!

We recently celebrated my mom's birthday.

Someone was super excited to help Nana open her birthday presents.

But he just wanted to grab and hold everything!

Christmas to Remember Part 2

Then off to Gram Moody's for Christmas with all the cousins.

All the kids managed to claim the couch while all the adults stood.

Look, lots more presents.

Sophie enjoyed her time with Preston!

And the boys enjoying opening presents as usual. 

Watching the opening going on.

Where did Grampa go?

Preston got a new Carhart Jacket.

Then off to the Jones' for Christmas with them.  

I got my new mixer!

And a new rug for in front of the kitchen sink.

and again, sick baby back to sleep and missing out on opening presents.

And Jake and Sophie chilling on Jake's bed to finish off the night!

Christmas to Remember

Not only is it J's first Christmas to remember, 

but his fist Christmas sick with a fever.  

He helped Daddy unwrap his presents

and he wanted to chew on everything

But he loved his sippy cup!

His new Christmas Pj's

Nana's Christmas tree Christmas morning.  That sure looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Fever and all he is ready for his first Christmas. 

Eggs Benedict breakfast down to mom and dad's

And present time.

J got a new sled,

but was more interested in eating the paper.

And a new book he got Nana to read to him.

Before,

Passing out from not feeling well.  This is how he was while most of the present opening was going on.
