And here we are for the second installment of Jakey's first Christmas. We had a wonderful time with Ryan's parents, sister, and grandma celebrating Christmas at our house and then we got to take a trip to my parents house to have another Christmas with my parents, grandma and Aunt Kathy. We had a really great time with them too and Jake loved his opportunity to share all his new tricks and show off his two bottom teeth (the second one cut on the 23rd) to more of his fans. Here are some pictures from our wonderful trip:
Jakey opening up a Christmas Bear
I really think that one of Jake's favorite gifts was this wrapping paper. It was shiny and made a fun noise when you moved it around and he just loved it.
A Very excited little bear (if you have not noticed already Jake's nickname has become "bear"...kinda morphed from buddy bear, to Jakey Bear to Bear)
"Ooohhhh is this for me?"
Grandma and Grandpa got Jake a big dump truck which he loves.
...and he can ride on it and hit buttons which make all kinda of noise (luckily there is a volume and on/off switch)
Jake and his GG loved cuddling...so much that they both fell asleep on this occasion.
Jake giving his Great Aunt Kathy some love.
Christmas Family Picture...I loved spending this holiday time together without school, work, or other craziness getting in the way.
If Jake could have sugar right now I would call this picture "Sugar High"
Jake and Mommy
And for your viewing pleasure, a small demonstration of Jake opening a present and absolutely loving the wrapping. It really was the best part of watching him during his First Christmas.
Stay tuned for New Years Pics...

  1. I love the video. It is funny how the things in the box get left behind for the packaging sometimes. And I really like the picture of the three of you - his smile and his waving. Very fun stuff.

  3. Sandy! Last night I had a dream I was at your guys' house babysitting Jake, except you didn't give me any instructions (or food for him) and he wasn't HUGE like he is...and we ended up stepping off the second story and falling because there wasn't any barrier...this was on our way to his room for bedtime after being up for hours longer than usual.
    Moral of the story: Christy, not a good Jake-sitter!!!
