santa

if you've noticed, so many of the pictures we've posted lately are pictures of j's "first______." all of you with kids probably know where we're coming from. everything is so exciting with your first child (as i'm sure it is with the rest as well:D). we had a fun family christmas party and a special visitor came. j got to sit on santa's lap and for a moment it looked as if j was going to reveal to all the other kids who was actually behind that white beard he kept tugging on.

(i don't know why the pictures are sideways...o well, i couldn't figure out how to turn them)

sunday's best

j had on a tie for the first time today at church. he looked absolutely handsome as could be!!! we had so much fun taking pictures (the bee was used occasionally to make him smile). he is the cutest little man!

easily amused

out of all the many toys j has to play with, he has favored one toy above all the rest. yes, it's true, this little bumble bee wrist wrap makes him laugh and smile whenever he sees it. he can be so hungry, tired, bored or whatever and the second he takes a look at mr. bee, he forgets all his worries and can't help but laugh. you all have to see it.

photo shoot

early this morning, j and i had a little photo shoot. i have been wanting to take pictures with him in the baby blanket that i (and rachy's mom, jo) made him. it is the softest blanket and j loves it so much!
