Sitting on Santa's lap


Wow....can you just FEEL their excitement??? I think they could have cared less that they were sitting on Santa's lap. Jake was of course far more interested in the candy cane that anything else.


"Santa, I would like a football"


We arrived to see Santa at 11:30 on a Saturday, expecting to wait in some awful line.....we were the ONLY ones there! Jake didn't want to have any part of it when we arrived, but after Mia sat on his lap, he thought about it some more. Then, see saw that Santa had a candy cane for him....and the rest is history! He climbed right up and even gave Santa a hug after he left. Santa told us that he couldn't believe Jake actually got up and sat with him, based on his initial "I don't want to have anything to do with you" reaction. The funny part was that after we got him back into the stroller and were starting to head out, Jake asked us "so where is my football?" Stands to reason! We've been telling him that he needs to ask Santa for a present....he didn't understand the whole concept of asking Santa and then having to WAIT for the gift! Hope he's a good boy....Santa might just bring him that football on Christmas!

Binkie Boy


Oh, I DREAD the day (that I know is coming soon) when I have to take the binkie away.

6 months old!

6 MONTHS OLD!
I think this is how the REALLY feel about taking pictures!




Mia is 6 months old.....WHERE does the time go?!! She had her dr. appt and weighs 16lbs, 11oz and 26 inches. 75 percentile across the board....she's a healthy girl! She's been sitting up for over a month now, but is getting much less "wobbly". Playing with toys all the time now and everything goes in her mouth! She has such a personality now.....happy most of the time and full of smiles and giggles that melt our heart! Jake loves to make her laugh and give her loves....we'll see how he feels once she starts playing with his toys ;)
