Jack's First Christmas







Well, Jack's first Christmas was wonderful! I can't believe the little bugger is three months old! Three months on Christmas Eve! It was great having everyone here for Christmas, but I had no idea that just having everyone over could be so much work. I think we are all fully recovered now. Jack loved it. He enjoyed every minute with his grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin, and great grandparents. His first acting gig as the baby Jesus in the church's live nativity was hit from what we hear. While Justin and I were not there for the event, Tina, Bert, and Jane made sure that no sixth grader lost a limb as a result of dropping our child. I have heard tales that Tina was pretty close to tackling the poor little Mary, but that she maintained her composure and trusted that everything would be okay. Everyone at church said that he was perfect as the baby and that he may have been the best. Of course you know that we think he is the best; there's no contest in my book. Now, we didn't think that there would be any problems with Santa this year, but once again, we were definitely wrong. Who knew that putting together a giraffe play tent could be such a hard job? If you want a detailed account of the fun times that were had during this escapade just ask Bert and Tina. Well, Jack is doing great and gearing up for that day when he is finally allowed in his new Jumperoo (courtesty of Gram (Jane)). The instructions say four months and up, but he is really vying for early entry. He keeps wanting to stand up in our laps and bounce up and down on his little fat legs. Now, I was a little worried about his tummy time development, but after yesterday, all worries are gone. We put him on a blanket flat on the floor to see what he would do and it was like a little turtle the way that head came up. Of course I got on the floor with him to see if he would follow me and crawl, but he said he wasn't ready just yet. I can't believe he is growing so fast! On January 7th he starts in a Mother's Day Out Program and he will be going twice a week for five hours each time. What am I going to do???? I would love to find some type of job, but really, who is going to hire me for two days a week, possibly a night or a weekend, but that is all. This is a test to see how I do with him being in some type of child care to see if I am ready to go back to work. You do notice how it is to see if "I" am ready and not Jack. Yeah, he's gonna be fine. Well, hopefully it won't be another month before I update again. I am attatching Christmas pictures for all to see.
