10 months

Jack,

My, oh my, how you have grown in this past month! You are an incredibly happy and rotten little boy, and I love you to pieces. You have started to hold my hand as you fall asleep for a nap, and I just love it.

You eat more and more each day. Your actual food is the same amount, but you snack all day long! This morning you ate almost an entire pancake after your breakfast. If we are eating, you want some. We've also added Cheerios to your snack, and you down them. I love watching you grab things with your hand and put it in your mouth. And I really love how if anything is quite all the way in your mouth, you use your arm to shove it in!

In this past month, you have learned to clap, really walk, and your top two teeth have started to barely peek through. Quite the month!! You are on the move these days. If you want to go somewhere, you walk. If you fall down, you find the closest thing to pull yourself up and walk some more. You are pretty steady and don't fall quite as much as I thought you would. You are the cutest thing to watch as you babble, clap, and walk at the same time. I hope this means you will be coordinated :)

So, as months pass, you also become more rotten! I think I have also come to the conclusion that if there is another baby around, you get worse. I think it is because you aren't getting all of the attention because once you are in the room with all adults, you have the time of your life dancing, laughing, and drawing us in. I think I've got some rough days ahead with this :(

On the move...
Jack, this past month you have grown ten fold. I love seeing it, but it makes me sad knowing that you don't need me as much as each day passes. You are a precious child of God, and I know He's got great plans ahead for you.

I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and I will love you tomorrow,
Mommy

Happy Birthday Pops!

John's dad turned 60 this year, and we surprised him in Galveston. We enjoyed time together in a condo and walking around Dickens on the Strand. I didn't really take too many pictures to capture the moment other than family pictures for Christmas cards.

Benji's First Birthday

Benji turned 1 on December 2, but my sister was super sweet and had his party the weekend after Thanksgiving so I could be there. I am so fortunate to have some super cute nephews and niece. I love this little man, and I love that he and Jack are destined to be the best of friends!
 
 
 

 

Mat's Wedding

Back in November, my cousin, Mat, got married in Corpus Christi. It was a great time hanging out with family that we don't get to see too often.
 It was quite windy!
