Little Chef

This video is mostly for Lucy's viewing pleasure, we thought we'd post a video of Jack helping Mary in the kitchen. Well, helping isn't the right work, more like grabbing anything in sight and putting it in his mouth. Yeah, thats a little more accurate.

Basketball game

We went down to Provo on Saturday to see a BYU basketball game, and had a good time. Jack wanted an intimidating hairstyle, to psyche out the other team, but on the drive down he got some pretty bad "car seat hair" (similar to bedhead), and the spikeyness and intimidation factor diminished... a lot... so he ended up looking like his usual smiley self. We had a great time, and Mary snapped some nice artistic pictures of the scenery, since it was such a nice day. I included one of the victory bell which, of course, rang loudly after we stomped New Mexico.

Cribs

Jack has discovered how much fun it is to stand. Its his new favorite thing to do. This is not a set up, by the way. Looks like we're going to have to lower his mattress...

Riding on Daddy's Shoulders

Jack loves to ride on his dad's shoulders. He giggles and chews on Christian's hair. It's a good thing that Christian forgot to get his hair cut today so that Jack had something to hold on to!

Sweater Weather

It has been pretty cold and snowy here lately but I think it is wonderful. The mountains are really beautiful all covered in snow. Also, any excuse to be cozy and warm in a sweater is fine by me. Thanks for Jack's cute sweater Aunt Emily!

Jack is standing!

Well, for about half a second, long enough to snap the pic before I caught him. By the way, Mary and Lizanne were not around when me and Stuart had the "standing baby" photo shoot. No babies were harmed in the making of these photos

More Christmas Fun

Learning to play nicely

It is amazing how much fun wrapping paper can be for babies. They had so much fun tasting the different kinds!

Christmas

One happy family on Christmas morning. Thanks for all of the wonderful presents!

We like to call this "The Teething Monster." Jack has been pretty funny lately because he constantly wants something in his mouth to chew on. You have to be really careful not to get too close to his face or this normally mild mannered baby will grab your hair and lunge out you with his mouth open. It is almost like being attacked by a wild animal. It is pretty funny to watch.

We hope that everyone had a really wonderful Christmas. We sure did and will post more pictures as soon as Christian gets home with the camera!

Jumping Jacks

Here's a better quality video of Jack in his jumpy chair, professionally edited by me (Christian) and everything. The only thing missing from this video is him shrieking at the top of his lungs in a note so high and piercing, it would break glass... that'll be in the next video

Dinnertime!

Chubby Baby

So Jack is getting better at sitting up by himself. Here he is sitting on Mary. I love the look on his face, like a moose in the headlights...
