You are now ten months old and enjoyed your first Christmas! We dressed you in happy pajamas and green and white stripey socks. Santa left you a Mater truck and your grandparents and aunts and uncles spoiled you with awesome gifts. It was a relaxed day- and we’re trying to stock up on those. We took a bike ride the day after Christmas, to look at the lights, and you had your first ride on the back of your Dad’s bike. They’ll be many more rides this summer!

We found out that we are expecting baby number 2, and even though you don’t know what that means, we like to pretend that you’re excited. I’ve been pretty miserable with the pregnancy, so lots of mornings, you and I just hang out in bed while I try to sleep and you try to throw anything you can find behind the headboard. When we pulled the headboard away from the wall, we found 6 pacifiers, a bottle of tylenol, a calculator, and an empty bottle.

You’re pretty adept at standing and take every opportunity to exercise those little legs. We know that it’s only a matter of time until you’re running all over the place and we go to bed weary each night from chasing you.

Oh happy, happy little Jack- it is my challenge to be patient enough to keep up with you and keep you smiling. I am constantly reminded that you are such a blessing by your sweet smile and constant curiosity. I can’t wait to see what the coming month brings.

loves!
Mama.
