Christmas Again

Jack celebrated his 2nd First Christmas this weekend. Grammy, Grandpa, and Uncle Mike came to visit from Florida to celebrate with us. It has been 2 weeks of holiday celebrations around here for us and oh, what fun it has been. We have had a full house since the day before Christmas! Jack was showered with more toys, lots of love, and constant entertainment. So much so, he didn't even want to sleep. He surprised Grammy with a 6:30 am wake up to play on Saturday. That is a whole hour earlier than usual..don't get to use to that Jack! He had so much fun showing off his new crawling skills to all of the admiring faces. Jack even gave them a little run for their money during diaper changing sessions. He squealed, laughed, and ate the whole weekend through. Of his new collection of toys, his Sesame Street riding car was his favorite. As soon as he opened it, he was crawling on top and pushing buttons. It didn't take him too long to figure out that it moved too! We put him on the seat, he grabbed the steering wheel and he was gone...with a little pushing from Daddy. It's hard to believe in no time his feet will reach the ground and he will be doing it on his own. All of this moving is more than a boy could ask for! Jack also got some new trucks, books, a See n' Say, a bowling ball set, and more. Daddy's favorite gift for Jack was his new FSU hat and shirt. He already grew out of his last suit...can't have that! Jack proudly wore his hat around as if he knew he was going to be a future Nole. Jack, Clay and I sure did love having all of that company. The house is so quiet now...well I wouldn't go that far. We still have Jack and Cosby to keep the volume up, but it is much quieter. I guess now life resumes to normal for a while. Jack and I are going to enjoy all of his new toys. We can actually call his playroom an official "PLAYroom", not just a room anymore.

Meg has the "Disney Princess" version of that push-toy and LOVES LOVES it. Jack may just use it to learn how to walk here in a few months! What great gifts and what a great family. Glad you had such an awesome (and long!) holiday.
